Europe - DB Museum - The Leading Railway Museum in Germany
Nürnberg, Germany - DB Museum - The Leading Railway Museum in Germany
In the DB Museum in Nuremberg, there's something for everyone to discover. The historical exhibits, from the Royal saloon car to a promotional phonographic record, have lots of exciting stories to tell about the railway.
The Deutsche Bahn Museum is located in the city of departure of the first railway journey in Germany. Since the rail reform, Nuremberg has been home to the corporate museum, where visitors can admire rail vehicles and also learn about the political and cultural history of the railway in Germany. The museum also offers frequently changing attractions for children.
The DB Museum is the successor to the former Museum of Transport in Nuremberg. In 1996, Deutsche Bahn AG took over the museum's railway department as its corporate museum and has redesigned many sections since then. The main attraction at the DB Museum are its numerous original vehicles. Highlights of the collection include the saloon cars of King Ludwig II of Bavaria and of Imperial Chancellor Otto von Bismarck, as well as a passenger carriage used by Ludwigseisenbahn, the first German railway which ran between Nurember and Fürth.

Garw Valley Railway
The Garw Valley Railway is based on the former Pontycymer to Tondu branch to the north of Bridgend which was curtailed to Pontycymer after 1997. Most of the track remains in situ, with two short lengths having been lifted. The line is single track, with potential station sites at Pontycymer, Pontyrhyl, Llangeinor and Brynmenyn. The closest national rail station is Tondu on the Maesteg Branch. Pontycymer is a 15 minute drive from the M4 at junction 36.
The Company hopes to restore passenger train services between Pontycymer and Tondu within the next 10 years and possibly into Brynmenyn Industrial Estate where a National Railway Centre could be developed.
The Bridgend Valleys Railway Company Ltd. trading as Garw Valley Railway's objective is to advance public education by the restoration, preservation and display of railway locomotives, carriages, wagons and other artefacts of historical interest and buildings connected therewith, in particular but not exclusively those connected with the Garw Valley. And the preservation of books drawings, records, documents, visual and sound recordings, cinematography films and photographs relating to such artefacts and vehicles, their history and development.
