Operational reliability of railway engineering products can be evaluated only in field tests. An use of test trains for following the behaviour of construction elements may result in an acceleration of the pilot studies and starting-up the commercial production. The Uralvagonzavod test train is operated since 1938 and was successfully used for testing 64 types of freight cars. During the last 15 years, more than 130 construction elements were tested according the Russian (Soviet) standards. As result, 37 elements were recommended for implementation and 26 elements are just used in commercial products. The train is equipped with a laboratory car where all necessary measurements can be carried out immediately. The collected long-term experience was published formerly in a special issue of Zeleznodoroznyj Transport (V.P. Efimov et al., Nr. 1, 2000).
