Best ones were IIRC Thuringer Rostwurst { ?? ) 'kin HUGE things, think that's what they were called. The Germans do a nifty line in sausages, far better than most of the spineless rubbish here. You did stand a good chance of their stuff being made from protein rather than cereal .... blaaaah. BC Just looked it up ... it's Thuringer Rostbratwurst ... http://germanfood.about.com/od/regionalspecialties/tp/12Germansausages.htm See how I look after you ... hope you're grateful .. :lol: |

HI Lads , here are a few of the photos I took on my visit to the museum ,the museum is well worth a look if your ever in Berlin , having a wide section of exhibits and demonstrations . Its easy to spot the museum from a distance as its the only building with a Douglas C-47 Skytrain/Dakota suspended from the corner of the building . One of the aircraft used in the Berlin airlift One of the first exhibits is of a working engineering shop from the early 1900, complete with all the line shafts ,driven from a very fine example of a beam engine . Another very fine beam engine , there are red boxes that are viable in a few of the photographs these are positioned next to an exhibit and give the time at witch the next demonstration will be given .So if there is something you have a particular interest in seeing its just a case of noting the time and wandering back to see the demonstration . A few of the locos they have on display , one which has been sectioned so you can see how things work. Some of the 1/5 scale model locos and rolling stock , these were built to a very high standard . The jewellery manufacturing shop was excellent with chain making ,embossing ,drawing,rose engines and guilloche demonstrations ,the display cases showed a step by step processes of spin and lost wax castings , sadly no casting demonstration that day . Wile on the subject of ornamental work I was lucky enough to pick up a five volume set of Holtzapffes Turning and Mechanical Manipulation 1850 on my way back through London,nice addition to my library. Think i will make one of these engraving vice. Now this was something else , whats hard to see due to the glass is the amount of rivets in this model of a boat lift , similar to the Anderton Boat Lift here in the UK , This model was still under construction , but the chap did give me a quick demo . AS well as sail boats they had a good selection of steam boat engines . An Oscillating steam engine Video aviation aero motors Above is just a very small selection of what was on display ,some of the other displays were computing,chemistry,transport,brewery and windmills . They were doing some remodelling of the museum at the time of or visit but this did not detract from or experience . Rob |

Thanks for sharing those Rob. It certainly looks worth a look. I'll be in Berlin for a meeting in 2014, so I'll pencil that in. |
