Salon car of King Ludwig II of Bavaria, built 1860 for King Maximilian II by Klett and rebuilt 1868 to 1870 with very expensive interior in gold, silk and marble, designed by Franz and Rudolf Seitz inspired by the castle of Versailles. The royal train was extended to eight cars until 1876, but not much is known about official travels of the royal court with the train; for safety reasons an "incognito train" was commissioned in 1876. Since the end of the monarchy the train is in the museum. Verkehrsmuseum Nürnberg. 2011-02-02.
