Holzbahn_dtmb.jpg (135012 bytes)

Wooden "railway" from the 16th century, found in 1889 in a Hungarian gold mine. One of the oldest preserved specimens of a wheel-on-rail system. Deutsches Technikmuseum Berlin, 2002-09-26. Photo: tobias b köhler

Lokomotor_DTMB.jpg (96677 bytes)

Two examples (with closed cab and with open driver's stand) of the "Breuer Lokomotor", a very unusual, extremely short diesel shunter. With a hydraulic mechanism, the shunter can use the weight of the next car to increase traction. The short length over buffers allows it to stand next to a cold steam locomotive on a turntable.

Merthyr_Tydfil_dtmb.jpg (136081 bytes)

Cast-iron angle rails with wagon of the Merthyr Tydfil horse railway (built 1800). This system was invented in 1778. The wheels had no flanges. Length of the rails was one yard (0.914 m), weight 27.25 kg. Track gauge 5 english feet (1.524 m). In 1804, Richard Trevithik's "Penydarren" steam locomotive was tested on this railway, but as the rails were too weak for a heavy steam locomotive, it was not taken into regular service.

Siemens_dtmb.jpg (132924 bytes)

Siemens & Halske narrow-gauge electric locomotive (centre rail pickup) with two small passenger cars. This is a replica of the "first electric train", a demonstration run on an exhibition in 1879. Not much later, the first electric tramways were introduced. Deutsches Technikmuseum Berlin, 2002-09-26. Photo: tobias b köhler

T1005_dtmb.jpg (94971 bytes)

T1005 - a very small steam locomotive, I think of the KWStE (Königlich Württembergische Staatseisenbahn), in the Deutsches Technikmuseum Berlin. I used the program "Panorama Maker" to put together two photos as it was not possible to get far enough from the locomotive. 2002-09-26. Photo: tobias b köhler

UmAn_DTMB.jpg (85173 bytes)

Henschel-BBC diesel-electric locomotive 202 003-0 "UmAn". This is one of three experimental diesel-electric locomotives with 3-phase traction motors, built in the 1970s. This one was originally painted orange, later rebuilt with a new drive technology, equipped with a streamlined cab (on the other end) and received a blue/silver striped livery. Sorry for the dark, partial picture - the general problems with railway museums are too little space and too little light. Deutsches Technikmuseum Berlin, August 2000. Photo: tobias b köhler

Berlin - Germany The Deutsches Technikmuseum houses a large collection of locomotives. These are on display in two locomotive sheds around turntables. The sheds are reconstructions of the old depot of the Anhalter freight yard that used to be located here. Deutsches Technikmuseum, 21/04/2002 Digital photo by Marco van Uden
