About this audio guide
This guide to the German Railway Museum in Nuremberg starts with a local brewer, Georg Lederer, and an ordinary summer day in eighteen thirty-six when he sent two barrels of beer to Fürth. It follows the young Ludwig Railway, its Stephenson-built engine and the English driver who came with it, and the costly fuel that set its timetable. Best heard standing beside the Adler in the hall.
