On the subject of Mulhouse museum - I visited Mulhouse 20 years ago
and was very unimpressed considering it was the French National musem.
The exhibits were cramped into dark halls where it was difficult to try
and take photographs. All I remember is lots or varnished wood
everywhere with the two high speed locos 9102 and 7107 hemmed in.

Fortunately, it was just a whistle stop on the way to the Rhaetian
Railways which were far more exciting !!!

The present musée is a new building but the atmosphere seems to have
been preserved!

The repair depôt at Culmont is far more interesting - they still use
the old steam shed turntable for the D-E and Electric shed;
