Not sure but from what I've heard this is an actually working replica.

Yeah, I know that. I'm just not informed where the original is at. The only thing I know is that this one in Munich is a replica.

Ah, well make sure you're able to see as much as possible. There are so many things to see in Germany.

Indeed, and she's sitting on a roller dynamometer. Shame though that it's been too late already and the museum was already closing by the time we've been in the third and last building where she was located at.

Wow.Β  Do you know if there's word on the locomotive and its future?

Nope, it's museum bound as it can only be moved by compressed air rather than steam.

Good to see she can still move her wheels!πŸ™‚

Well, it's a replica after all, hence she's not completely capable up any more than moving herself.
