The seventh title from the production of HERKULES KHKD s.r.o. mainly documents the eventful history with a good ending during the nineties on the narrow gauge 760 mm tracks in Jindřichohradeck. First of all, let's recall the historical milestones of the creation of the railway, when on November 1, 1897, the first train left for Nová Bystřice and then nine years later, right on Christmas Day, for Obratán. After almost a hundred years of operation, on January 25, 1997, České dráhy stopped operations on the Jindřichohradecké narrow gauges. It didn't take long and on Saturday, June 14, 1997, trains returned to the Bystřická local. They ran as part of the private entity Jindřichhoradecké local railways as (JHMD) under lease from České drah. It was the vanguard of activities culminating in privatization on February 28, 1998, with the subsequent operation of both historic steam trains and regular passenger and freight trains. At the head of the historic trains appeared the now defunct steam Malletka U 47.001 from the NTM collection. TU 47.0 machines according to the new marking 705.9 competed with Balm cars or trucks.
