Friends,
Skoda as we know has been a significant name in our Auto Industry. Over here I am going to share about how the brand Skoda emerged with help of certain historical photographs taken from a book on Skoda's history given to me by my father.
The brand Skoda was born with Mr. Emil Skoda, who in 1890 conceptualized Skoda Works in Plzen, C.Z.
A Group Pic of Mr. Emil Skoda with his staff and officers.
An overall view of Skoda Works
The 28cm Calibre Coast Gun at Bolevec Shooting Range.
The First Locomotive model manufactured by Skoda i.e the 3 LO was the most popular model during the period of 1921 and 1938.
View of Skoda Work's Locomotive Plant.
This is the 1st Steam run Locomotive by Skoda i.e 1 Lo. This locomotive is still placed in museum of Czech Railways.
Before building steam locomotives on its own, Skoda Works repaired machines of other manufacturers. During 1918 to 1924 over a 1000 of locomotives were reconstructed of which 700 were for the Romanian railways.
To be continued!
