The narrow guage line from Stare Bojanowo to Smiegel in Poland had already been closed with no further train services planned. But on 7th February 2011 a special railcar was run from Stare Bojanowo to Smiegel for a Railtrail group from the UK. Having arrived in Smigiel, the engine of the railcar was shut down to save fuel whilst photographs were taken. But on attempting to start it again the battery had gone flat, meaning it had to be pushed to the shed where fortunately a mains powered jump starter was on hand. The return journey was completed without problems.
Railcar is MBxd2-226, information from Wikipedia.pl shows it was built by Faure in Romania in 1986 for 750mm gauge lines, diesel engine type D2516HMU by Ikarus as used on buses, 190hp with hydraulic drive, Vmax=40km/h on 750mm gauge version and 60km/h on meter gauge version.
