zonebattler has an allotment not far from Fürth railway station, with a view of a large number of railway lines, when he occasionally posts informed photos of various obscure locomotives.

On Saturday he was able to take several shots of the latest reconstruction of the Adler, the first train in Germany in 1835 (the last one was destroyed in a fire a couple of years ago). He even has a video of it going back to Nuremberg (scroll down). And some close-ups in a later entry.

Almost more exciting is the shot of a large pheasant he startled a week before. I haven’t yet seen these in the town centre either.
