The Frankfurt Feldbahn Museum is on the edge of a public park which was once the city's airport and Zeppelin base. It is reached easily from the city centre by suburban tramway service.
There were three steam locomotives in service and there were also some diesels and a battery locomotive in use. The line forms a letter T shape. It runs from the depot between allotments to the park where there is a triangular junction giving rise to the cross piece of the T. The restored steam locomotives are beautifully presented and two more are close to completion.
