Trans Europe Express set in a museum?

[dfurn]

Hi all;

I was wondering anyone who had good knowledge of euro-train museums if any had a Trans Europe Express set on display? My son is fascinated by this loco and if there was one in a museum in Germany or Switzerland or elsewhere I'd love to take him. I've tried searching but a lot of the responses refer, understandably, to the Kraftwerk album not the train!

I believe there is one at the DB Museum in Nuremberg.

Thanks for taking time to reply; that'll do!

The Swiss have a historic TEE which goes out on the mainline from time to time -
(in German) http://www.sbbhistoric.ch/bahngemeinschaft/fahrzeugmiete-charter/trans-europe-express/
(which says it's being refurbished/overhauled from Jan-May 2014)
That page also has a downloadable PDF in Italian+English (look under Produkteblatt top right)

and Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SBB-CFF-FFS_RAe_TEE_II

When somebody says they want to see a TEE set, usually it would be assumed they were talking about the DB VT11.5 sets with the famous jet plane styling, and not any other train which ran on TEE services.

The TEE set in DB museum Nuremburg is incomplete. There is or used to be a restaurant car from a TEE in Holzkirchen station (south of Munich)

I'm pretty sure there's a power car at least in the National Museum of Science and Technology in Milan. Does Cité du Train in Mulhouse have anything?

Here ... from my trip to the Museum in Milan a few years ago:



Mind you, this isn't the DB set.

With the greatest of respect, I totally disagree with this suggestion, as there were many different types of 'TEE set' from fixed MU trains in the early days to loco hauled stock in later years. Arguably only Germans or Germanophiles might insist that the VT 11.5 was the TEE set.

Italians would point you to the Italian TEE diesel sets:

French would point you to their RGP railcars

and subsequent hauled stock e.g. Mistral coaches with their famous locos (BB9200 or CC6500)

Swiss and Dutch enthusiasts would point toward the Swiss/Dutch TEE diesel set - which were sold to Canada

- or the Cisalpin type Rae TEE sets:

Its years since I went inside the Mulhouse museum as I prefer to spend my valuable European travel time on seeing moving trains still in service, but from pictures, it looks like Cite du Train now houses quite a few examples of recently withdrawn stuff .

And, yes there appears to be a partial TEE set formed of a quadruple current CC41010 and two Paris - Amsterdam type stainless steel TEE coaches:

The NL dieselset, brought back from Cananda (Ontario Nortland) is now standing-partly graffitied, in the east-side tracks of Amsterdam Centraal. Some enthusiast society plans/hopes to get it back in pristine working order- but that will take many more moons.

Thanks everyone for the responses.... I might as well plan a trip to as many of these places as I can!

Oh and all of these links of links took me to this page about Augsburg Railway Park. Need to view in Chrome to get the translation but apparently:

"On 3 October 2010 was opened on the rails of the Augsburg Railway Park the permanent exhibition. With two complete diesel trainsets VT 11.5 and the famous series with different models, photographs and original exhibits the history of the Trans-Europ-Express traffic is documented. For the first time a complete TEE fitting for visitors is available again in Germany."

Actually one loco is still used on the IC 119 route from Münster dep 0727 to Innsbruck, Austria.

There has been a similar loco running some services around Munich, which granted could be the Munster-Innsbruck service
