My old dad would love this.

Here in Kassel, we have a technology museum run by like-minded enthusiasts like Melvin Mantell and Sid Bell. There are locomotives on display, fire engines, electrical equipment, model trains, etc.

The staff consists of old gentlemen who worked at the Henschel locomotive factory, as well as very young engineering enthusiasts who can give you a lecture!

Even the architectures of the museums are so similar that they can be mistaken for each other:

Blackhorse Rd / Walthamstow Midland / St James’ St / Hoe St / Wood St / Highams’ Park to me!
{ I know the pump house & remain unimpressed, I’m afraid }
