German railway museums.

Afternoon All,

I recently went to Bavaria in Germany and visited the railway museums in Neuenmarkt-Wirsberg, Nürnberg and Nördlingen. There are lots of pictures on my Fotopic site and, if anyone is interested to see them, here are some links :

Modern and everyday trains : http://ronfisher2.fotopic.net/c1856583.html

Neuenmarkt-Wirsberg and the Schiefe Ebene : http://ronfisher2.fotopic.net/c1856554.html

Nürnberg and Nördlingen : http://ronfisher.fotopic.net/c1099919.html

The Nürnberg and Nördlingen ones are currently in the 'Stop Press!' collection where all the new pictures go for the first few weeks. They are then transferred to their permanent collections so, in due course, you will find them here http://ronfisher2.fotopic.net/c1873672.html and here http://ronfisher2.fotopic.net/c1875051.html

If the technology works, here are a couple of pictures to start you off :









Clicking on the pictures should enlarge them and take you to the others.

Hope that they are of interest.

sorry, haven't got time to look through all the pics at the mo. What did you think of King Ludwig's royal coach in the Nürnberg museum?

No worries; there's no time limit - they will be there indefinitely.

As to King Ludwig II's Royal Coach, well, it's certainly sumptuous! And sumptuous with a capital sumpt. However, if I was the King of Bavaria, I'd have one!

For the benefit of anyone that may not have seen it, here it is :



Clicking on the picture will enlarge it and take you to the other pictures. I took several pictures of the Royal Coach and some more will appear on Fotopic in due course.
