I like the picture next to a modern HST - it gives an interesting size comparison.

Thanks Johannes
Love the gab valve gear; I note the two handles on the backhead for starting.
Very clear pictures.
Regards,
Ian

Excellent piccies! I liked the last one - the driver bloke's hat with the cunning pantograph on it to collect the current from the overhead catenary...

Nice rebuild job, presumably by Meiningen Works. One quibble, though. I've seen in print somewhere that the original 1835 route later became the tramway from Nuremberg to Fuerth, some of which in more recent times runs underground, if I recall correctly. The track it ran on in the photos is a later construction.

Reinhard Thielsch, who published these pics in the 'Dampfmodellbau' (http://27933.rapidforum.com/, dedicated to Steam-Engines and somewhat less to Locos), has added some more pictures. The Adler in her shed.      The Bayerische Ludwigseisenbahn (Bavarian Ludwig Railway) was the first steam-hauled railway operating in Germany. The Königlich privilegierte Ludwigs-Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft ("Royal privileged Ludwig railway company", later called the Ludwigs-Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft) received a concession to build a railway from Nuremberg to Fürth in the state of Bavaria on 19 February 1834. The company selected the rail gauge of 1435 mm as used in England for the 6.4 Km track between Nuremberg and Fürth.  Some pics from those days.  about 1835: Adler on her way from Nuremberg to Fürth, running through the idyllic contryside between the two towns.  Arrival in Fürth (Zinkografie bei J.J.Lechner, 1835)  This is how the Station in Nuremberg would have looked like in 1922. The building was pulled down in 1938. Today, this lovely building is standing there, progress ...  Hartmuth Ludwig is building a remarcable model. You can look at it here... dampfhalu.de.tl/Der-Adler.htmIf you ever come to Nuremberg, send some time to look around: Old Town, Castle, Christmas Cake Shops, and the Railway Museum. Have fun Johannes |

Cecil Pagets 2-6-2 of 1908. Engine number 2299. Would make a fascinating model....

Not seen it mentioned here but the loco is [only] a replica dating from 1935, not the original of 1835.
I saw photos of the damage done during the fire and for anything to survive to be restored is hard to believe, the fact that all the diesels were fully fueled and the steamers tenders were full of coal didn't help (well they did I suppose) in the fire.
Very nice photos though, flangless driver is most odd, just how sharp were the expected curves!
