One of the many steam locomotives in the German Museum of Technology – they are stored and displayed in the train roundhouse of Berlin’s former Anhalter Bahnhof. I’m not sure about the exact model of this locomotive, but according to a list I found it could have been built in 1925 in Austria.

The crown jewel of Berlin’s German Museum of Technology – a 1912 replica of the 1844 Beuth, the first steam locomotive constructed in Germany by August Borsig. It has been in the museum from the start and I remember being a big fan of it when I was a kid – I still have a 1980s poster of it on a wall, now together with a print of this great photo I took back in December 2017.
