Tin Man from Stellantis
Bear with me, all will be explained...
More motors on the move as RTI's 044 135 passes through Nové Mesto with a lengthy (aren't they all) train of product from Slovakia's contingent of vehicle manufacturers. The vehicles in this example are (again, too numerous to count) Citroën C3 models (in many, many different colours (take that Henry Ford)) emanating from the enormous* Stellantis Plant on the outskirts of Trnava.
Stellantis (N.V). is a multinational automotive manufacturing company formed from the merger in 2021 of the Italian–American conglomerate Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) and the French PSA Group (thanks Wiki). As the world's fourth-largest automaker by sales Stellantis has 14 car brands in it's stable including Alfa Romeo, Chrysler, Citroën, Fiat, Jeep, Opel, Peugeot and Vauxhall.
The Trnava plant is currently responsible for manufacture of the Citroën C3 (and Aircross), Opel Frontera and Peugeot 208.
As promised - In the late 1970s there was an American TV series titled "The Man from Atlantis" which starred actor Patrick Duffy who went on to play Bobby Ewing in the huge TV drama "Dallas". The program was about an amnesiac man believed to be the only surviving citizen of the lost civilization of Atlantis. He demonstrates exceptional gifts including the ability to breathe underwater, withstand extreme depth pressures, he possesses superhuman strength and can make a tasty seafood meal for all the family with very few ingredients in no time at all.
The locomotive is another example to emerge from the Škoda Works at Plzeň in the late 1970s, as ČSD Class S 499.02 - later becoming Class 242 and as a class these guys are known to many Czech/Slovak rail enthusiasts as Plecháč (Tin Man).
Bingo! Tin Man, Stellantis - Man from Atlantis- I thank you, I'm here 'til Friday, don't forget to tip your waitresses.
*sorry Kia, at 193 ha (1930000 m2) their's is bigger than yours, still it's not how big it is that matters but what cars you make there, right ladies?
