das heizhaus eisenbahnmuseum strasshof

Had a fascinating day out at this railway museum. An amazing amount of engines and rolling stock parked on miles of track.We were able to wander around at will and climb on several of the exhibits.As it was a 'steam day' we also had a brilliant hair raising footplate ride! The lady at the ticket office spoke excellent english. The lineside vegetation was interesting as well - lots of wild flowers. If thinking of going from Vienna (which is what we did) then take the underground u-bahn to Florisdorf (end of line on u6) then catch a regional train on the s-bahn line s1 to Silberwald (If you get off here rather than Strasshof it is a shorter walk to the museum).Turn left out of the station and walk along the road approx a quarter of a mile looking for a turning on the right- Sillerstrasse- then carry on for approx another quarter of a mile and it's on the right (there are a couple of signs on the way)
