Lonely Planet review for Deutsche Bahn Museum
Nuremberg's impressive Deutsche Bahn Museum explores the history of Germany's legendary rail system. You'll see the country's first engine, the Adler, which ran from Nuremberg to nearby Fürth in 1852. Other fine specimens include Ludwig II's gilded carriage (dubbed the 'rolling Neuschwanstein' for its starry ceiling fresco and lavish decoration) and Bismarck's sober quarters for official visits. A highlight is the hourly demonstration of one of Germany's largest model railways, run by a controller at a huge console of blinking lights and switches.
