TRAIN TIME: Nürnberg Verkehrsmuseum pt 3

Last week Train time was interrupted for the July 4th Holiday so let's get back on track as it were. We'll continue with some more pics from the Nürnberg Verkehrsmuseum. Enjoy!  My Wife & Me Enjoyed it very much :)

Adler (Eagle) Steam Locomotive

The original Adler was built in 1835, but in 1858 after many years of hard service it was scrapped. The photos below show the reproduction Adler built in 1935

Wooden second class passenger wagon No 8 of the Bavarian Ludwig Railway (built 1835, rebuilt between 1838 and 1846)

TRAIN TIME: Nürnberg Verkehrsmuseum pt 2

Howz about we continue our look at those excellent trains from the Nürnberg Verkehrsmuseum  (Nuremburg, Germany, Transportation Museum). Today we're going to look at the fabulous engine and Salon Wagons of the Royal Bavarian Railway. These are absolutely gorgeous rolling works of art and I'm still taken aback at their beauty! I can remember being frustrated at the narrow confines of the museum making it difficult to get good shots. Also, I just didn't have a real good wide-angle lens which would have helped somewhat. Still it was a remarkable experience. Enjoy!

TRAIN TIME: Nürnberg Verkehrsmuseum

First an update to an earlier post: This past January 5 I posted the scans to the Built-Rite #56-1 Church HOWEVER it was missing one piece which has since been identified as the tower roof. For a more complete update visit the post here:

Today for Train Time I thought I'd do something a little different. For the next couple of weeks I'm going to share some pics taken at the Nürnberg Verkehrsmuseum (Nuremburg Transportation Museum) way back in 1989. This was kind of an odd trip as it was only a day trip for us. We got in the car, motored down to Nuremburg, found the museum, played tourist, and came right back home! I always wanted to go back and see more of this magnificent city but somehow we just never made it! sigh......

Oh well, I hope you like the photos of these awesome trains! Enjoy!

(R) Electric locomotive E 19 12 (1940) who's highest speed was 180 km/h

Stay tuned to this station as we bring more trains from Nuremburg next week.
