this is very sad news indeed.

but i dont really understand the layout of the museum.
was the king ludwig coach destroyed?

the steam loco's really dont look all that bad. i dont know weather they were runners or cosmetically restored but from the pictures the damage looks fairly superficial. the paint has obviously gone and they are certainatly going to need running down and repainting but apart from that i can only see minor damage to most of them. it will be interesting to see a detailed report IN ENGLISH PLEASE!!

the diesels look much worse. i suspect much of the bodywork was wodden and that has burned leaving only the metal skin. the roofs look to have collapsed on the ones in the pictures.

thankyou for the update. its a pity that english information about the Nurnburg fire is so hard to come buy. Even german sites containing any snippits are few and far between. i really dont believe that many of the items were as badly damages as first thought. the steam engines shound not be too bad. i suspect that most of the damage is soft bearing materials and cladding. i noticed that some of the tender casings had not buckled in the heat so i dont think the fire got all that hot.
