Berlin's Technikmuseum : Railway section
This vast museum includes a large collection of railway exhibits, appropriately housed inside a former railway Works. The 33 tracks are accessed by the two massive turntables outdoors that are shown on my photo. The carriage visible is a bit too long for the tracks inside! Exhibits include electric, diesel and steam engines, and passenger rolling stock. Some of the steam engines are in "as withdrawn" condition, demonstrating the reality of the steam era: My photo of one of those work-stained engines can be seen here:

Rail enthusiasts should set aside a day to look around this, or much more to do justice to aircraft, ships, cars and the other sections of this huge, wonderful museum.
