context_page_description: The Wiesloch Feldbahn and Industrial Museum is a narrow-gauge railway and industrial heritage open-air museum established in 2001, at Wiesloch, Germany. The museum is centred around the former locomotive shed of the Tonwaren-Industrie Wiesloch brickworks, and houses industrial equipment from large excavators to small machine tools, plus large and small locomotives.
  It is 650 metres north of Wiesloch-Walldorf station, lying between the River Leimbach and mainline Mannheim–Karlsruhe–Basel railway to the west, and the Bundesstraße 3 and REWE supermarket Group's south-west central warehouses to the east.
context_section_description: As of 2012 the museum collection included half-a-dozen cranes, diggers, and excavators, including an Orenstein & Koppel L 051 power shovel that arrived in May 2012. In 2014 a crawler excavator rescued by Walter Ofenloch was added to the collection.  By 2017 there were ten construction machines with eight restored and working.
  At the highest point of the museum there is a working bucket chain excavator built in 1948 and previously used by a mine in Wasserberg, Bavaria until 1976.  The bucket chain excavator arrived at the museum in October 2010, allowing the opening of a clay pit exhibition area in 2012, and is now operated by a three-phase electric motor. These machines can be used to demonstrate traditional clay, sand and gravel mining techniques.
  In 2015 Weiland Crane and Transport Group brought a Pekazett TK 5 crane owned by the Rattelsdorf Crane and Construction Museum to the site.
