From a friend in Germany:
>Hello,
>
>I'm sorry I have to write to you with sad news, but since you had
>asked some time ago about the first German steam engine, the Adler,
>and whether one could borrow it - well, not any more. There was a
>fire in the museum last night, and among the engines which were
>destroyed was the one Adler replica they had built 70 years ago, and
>which they lent out for trips.
>http://newsfromrussia.com/world/2005/10/18/65526.html (strange that
>the only reference in English I could find is from Russia...)
>Anyway, I thought you might be interested. It is a sad day for
>German railway enthusiasts.
