DB Museum Koblenz — Attraction in Koblenz

So worth the 3 euros just to wander around and see all the old locos and coaches. There is about one of each loco, and some extras in different colours. You can get inside the locos and coaches in the shed such as a Class 118 and some coaches built in 1938 for the then govenrment, but I did want to peep into the stuff in the yard such as the restaurant and sleep cars,but alas. Even just to sit on the running board of a Kof and watch the trains go by was a nice way to spend some time. Have been back and will be back. Note: not for those that find it difficult to get about. Lots of walking over tracks and big steps. Easy free parking. Note for those looking, you go under the rail tracks and it’s a turn up a small road schorn something str then a sharp left up to the tracks. Dropped pin Near Schönbornsluster Str. 11-1, 56070...

The museum is run by the DB, and you will likely see many of their volunteers who are busy working and restoring equipment. If they're not too busy, they may let you into the cab of a loco not on exhibit or tell you more history or mechanical information. If you are at all interested in the bahn or its history, this is simply a must-do when in the region.

The museum costs 2-3 Euros entry and is an easy 10-minute walk from the frequently-served...

Nice museum with some very interesting and historically significant locomotives. You are left to your own to roam around freely. Many locpmotives are accessible. Parents with children should be extremely cautious as the terrain is more a depot than a museum and the museum lies immediately besides live railway tracks with no fences, just a chain to mark the difference. Only open on Saturdays. Not very large. You would want to spend two-three hours here. Worth the trouble of getting there if you are in the area, say no more than an hour driving or so away, but not a museum I would go to great lengths to see (like...
