Heard about this on German news. The entire collection more or less a write-off . It took 70% of Nuremberg's entire firefighter force to get control of the flames.

Oh my :/ Sorry to hear that... it always hurts when such a big piece of history disappears. Such a shame...

I am not a train spotter, but my deepest sympathy goes for the guys and gals who spent years and lots of money to keep up a fine collection

And the lesson for today is "Don't keep 1000 pieces of flamable material (trains) next to each other. Very bad idea"

I understand you richard, being such a train geek like you are, I know the feeling seeing such stuff, Well I can second that Alain said, Im not a train spotter but its sure sad to see a fine collection of very fine maintained locomotives go out in flame. So sad. RIP in the train graveyard !

damn that sucks, what caused the fire?

[MaDbOy]

Probably set on fire, If that is true, and they catch him, Then I know several ways to dispose him.

Thanks for the kinds words guys, I almost got some tears of it .
I spend a couple of hours maintaining one loco when it was in Holland, that was a good time that will unfortunately not come back with the same group I Volunteered with.

Such a shame. That looked like it was quite an impressive collection
Where is this museum located?

According to news reports there where roof works that night (new tar layer). They may have caused the fire, but for now that is not yet sure.

The museum is in Nürnberg.
