1923 the small repair workshop had a closed area of 800 m²
and many progresses, new units for producing steam locomotive
boilers, gears, a carpenter’s shop, other units producing
materials for railway bridges, switches and tracks had been
made established between the years 1925 and 1928 in the aim
of reducing the dependency to other countries. The annual
maintenance and repair capacity of the railway repair shop
increased in those years to 3-4 locomotives and 30 passenger
and freight cars.

Repair Workshop were drafted and this caused to a temporary
recession. But, this situation has been overcome in a short
time.
