Greetings from Sunil,
I was searching in the forums for Technik Museum Sinsheim, and found something else which was not what I had in mind.
Request the Admin / Moderators to move this post / club this post to the appropriate post if any.

This post is about my visit to Germany back in 2014 - close to 9 years ago, so please bear with me, as I fail to recollect most of the information related to the exhibits.
We had been on a day trip to Sinsheim from Stuttgart-Esslingen, and a one day visit definitely does not do justice to go through all the exhibits available there.

More details here - https://sinsheim.technik-museum.de/en/

As iterated earlier, with my memory failing to recollect the information on the exhibits, I would like to do the pictures do the talking.
I would like to invite the knowledgeable members here to share their inputs and make this post more interesting.

Thank you for your time and patience

Will post a few more images of the super sonic beauties in Part -III

[Sunil@KA25]

Contunued from Part-II,
The supersonic beauties!!

The Concorde F-BVFB super sonic jet.
You can climb into the jet and make your way inside all the way to the cockpit!
Lots of information can be found in the Museum home page


The Russian Tupolev TU-144 - The FIRST supersonic jet to reach Mach2!!
Similar to the Concorde you can climb into the jet and reach till the cockpit
This exhibit travelled 4000 kms by land and water all the way from Moscow to Sinsheim.
Again, lots of information can be found at the museum home page


Ilyushin Il-14 in Bulgarian Air Transport


Tupolev


Concorde


The nozzle of the Tupalov


In side the Tuplalov


Inside the Concorde


The cockpit of the Concorde - the days of analog switches - Three (or was it four?) pilots working in absolute tandem and knowing which switch belongs to him/her and activating them at just the right time!!!
I was told that cockpit even these days are mostly analog - as they are usually failsafe - not sure about that though, When ever I have boarded an airplane, the airhostess always told me - your seats are at the other way please


With so many meters and gauges on the dashboard, The average car user who is used to a maximum of 3-4 meters on the dash board will get dizzy and imagine that pilot driving the average car with just three meters on the dash board!!


Landing gear


Nose wheel - Those spikes on the tyre are the reason, which I saw every where in Stuttgart, that pigeons most of the times, sat on the ground and did not bless the people ( know what I mean?) passing thru doorways/ archways and along the edges of buildings


The Rolls-Royce - Snecma engine on the Concorde.


A glider from a flight club at Sinsheim - Thanks to the Canon Powershot 12X zoom and 54X of digital zoom


Inside one of the Cockpit of the aircraft - I am unable to recollect which one it was.


Emergency helicopter MBB Kawasaki


BMS Dallara 192 F1 car


Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren 722 GT


Ferrari's and other beauties from the Photo point


Mercedes beauties from the photo point


The sensational Blue flame - the fastest rocket propelled surface-craft of all times. On October 23, 1970 the American Gary Gabelich set a fantastic new world record with this hybrid between car and rocket, when he reached an average speed of 1014.656 km/h on the Bonneville salt flats. - more details on the museum home page


The Classic Mercedes cars


Rolls-Royce Phantom II 2 1934 120ps


Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost - Immediately after its debut on the market, thanks to the excellent finish, silent running and its reliability, the RR-Silver Ghost was chosen as the "Best car of the World" at the automobile exhibition in London.
This Silver Ghost was built for the Maharajah of Hyderabad - India and was used by the maharajah for decades. There is no spare wheel at the left side and instead a handle for the body guard to hold while he stood guard on the running board (from the exhibit placard)


The 24 Cylinder, 12,600 PS, 850000 ccm displacement - MAN Shiffsmotor built in 1943 (from the placard)


Original U boat motor -
This diesel marine engine built by the MAN company at Augsburg was delivered to the Austrian navy in 1917. this motor was mounted on the Austrian submarine KKU 48, which had two of those engines. After it broke up in 1918, it was used as a power plant in a silver mine in Bolivia. In 1934 it was in Italy and then on it was placed at Sinsheim (from the placard)


The small railway station of Sinsheim is located in a a beautiful and picturesque location. There is a flight club which can be seen in the distance behind the station.


One small aircraft/glider plane making a landing


That is all I could share from what little I could gather in a one day visit.
A single day visit is definitely not the way to do it though.
If some one is interested to visit Sinsheim, better to club the Sinsheim technik museum and the Speyer Museum which is about 35 km from this place and cover both these places in at least 3 to 4 days.

Most of the one line information for the exhibits are from the placards and some are from after searching on the internet. Please excuse me if some incorrect information has crept in.

Thank you for your time.

Thread moved out from the Assembly Line. Thanks for sharing!

Hearty congratulations on your maiden thread. A wonderful opening I say.

That is a great collection of transport types not to mention military assets to tickle every boy's heart. The unknown Russian copter is a Kamov Ka-26. Nice to see old master pieces from the Soviet era - Tupolev Tu-134 and IL-114. The latter was a noisy bone rattler to fly was told by an old ex-employee who flew them in the IAF. Can't tell which aircraft is the one where the photo is only from the aft. Looks like a Tu-144.

Thank you for sharing these photos.

Thanks for sharing. Brings back many memories. I have been to this museum once, probably about 20 years ago. Absolute wonderful collection.

There is a similar museum very nearby in Speyer, called, you guessed it! Speyer technik museum.

https://speyer.technik-museum.de/en/

You can buy combination tickets at either museum or online. They also offer hotel arrangements and entry to both museums.

Thank you moderators for appending the appropriate title, moving the thread to the appropriate location, and also for the inputs on helping me post my lengthy photologue.

Felt extremely humbled on receiving my first feedbacks on this post from BHP'ian - V.Narayan and BHP'ian- Jeroen, for whom I have a lot of admiration - Big Thank you!!

[supermax]

Lovely thread. @admin, could you please correct the title? Tankers are vehicles that carry milk, petroleum etc. The heavily armored military vehicles are tanks, hence the expression, 'Built like a tank'.

Thanks for the great memories. Visited the museum in 2017. To be inside the Concorde is definitely a surreal moment. What a funny seat layout it has

The original seat layout was 2x2 throughout. I guess, in this demo model, some of the seats have been removed to allow visitors to move around freely.

I visited here during 2011 and even after so many years, most of the exhibits are felt like seen yesterday
Having almost similar photos in my Google Album!
No words to express about the feeling of entering the iconic Concorde and Tupolev Tu144. Especially the cokpit with full of analogue dials and controls everywhere, including the roof, side walls etc! Masterpiece of 60's and 70's.
Amazing place to visit in case if anyone going to Germany.
