Nice shed shot  Peter,
did you hear about the catastrophe at the German National Railway Museum 
in N?rnberg?
A terrible fire, and the subsequent collapse of the roof, destroyed 
virtually the whole collection of steam, diesel and electric exhibits 
including a working replica of "Adler"
the first steam train to run in Germany (the original was built by 
Robert Stephenson in Newcastle), it's still a matter of seeing what can 
be salvaged but hopes are not particularly high.
The large exhibits made up around 95% of preserved main-line steam 
traction  in Germany.
