Curious if anyone has visited it already and has additional photos to post or links to more information and visuals. Edit: After a refined search using "exact phrase" instead of the too general DB Museum "all words" I did find several posts, however seeing more photos of the scale models would be great. Here are two good threads by Glenn and PJ.... https://www.marklin-user...t32229-DB-Museum-Koblenz and https://www.marklin-user...d-DB-Museum-in-Nuremburg - Mark Edited by user 23 January 2016 03:40:27(UTC)  | Reason: Left out thread credit for PJ, sorry!

I have enclosed a few photographs which are quite poor I am afraid but I hope they will whet your appetite; Model of E18; Model of Henschel Wegman loco; Some models of the 'Hamburger' Railcar SVT 04.x series; Models of a 'Growler' railbus used as catenery maintenace vehicle; Various TEE models; All the best

But how many of us carries a tripod to these places? Cheers Åke

Cheers Åke Ake, If it was a circular polarising filter would bring a host of other problems if not set up correctly, as well as even longer potential shutter speeds. The day we visited it was also quite busy and I am not sure many people would have been pleased to find me set up with a tripod between the displays All the best

Not great, but better than nothing.

Not great, but better than nothing. Yes very true, although the DB museum seemed very relaxed about access. The second portion is across the road and entrance is through a gate so they may be more flexible. Just for interest here is a picture of the DB Kof in the outside (second) portion of the museum;

Joined: 29/01/2012(UTC) Posts: 1,422 Location: Montreal, Canada		Great shot Glenn! I think its my favorite yet.... I love the curvature on that ... almost looks like a "GoPro" wide angle shot. Also the red against the dark background and blue sky, along with the long yellow coupler... Sorry I'm gushing a bit, but this is a submit-for-publication-photo IMH-artist's-O. Hoping you a big file size on this one. - Mark

Do you know when your model was running ...guess Era III but does it say in the literature a specific year? I would at some point like to get one that would have been on the road around 1955. - Mark

Joined: 29/01/2012(UTC) Posts: 1,422 Location: Montreal, Canada		Thank you PJ From the literature and links there is a range of dates. But it would be nice to see where it operated specifically and what dates. I wonder how much research I would have to do to find that. I may be looking for information that is beyond the resources I have in finding such data. You have done a great job with it on your layout in the context of the cranes and pits. Nicely done. - Mark Originally Posted by: PJMärklin Originally Posted by: Mark5 I really like your Kof PJ, Curious about the differences since it doesn't have the Keks logo on it.

I may be looking for information that is beyond the resources I have in finding such data. I would suggest you join the German Railway Society (link). There are guys there who seem to be able to track this sort of information down. Their quarterly magazine has a list of current retirements and shuffles of motive power by class, including some Austrian motive power. You can get the magazine as an emailed PDF to make your membership cheaper if you don't want the paper copy.

For info it was taken with my 14-24 Nikkor [AF-S 14-24mm 1:2.8G ED] lens which is such a beautiful lens to use even at it's widest setting [used for this pic]. The lens is wonderfully corrected to avoid excessive curvature of the verticals at this wide angle setting and considered to be part of the Nikkor Holy Trinity of lenses. It is my favorite Nikkor lens, and I love to use it as much as I can. This picture shows just how close you can get without excessive vertical curvature All the best
