The '''AG Märkische Kleinbahn''' or '''MKB''' in [[Berlin]] is a German railway museum and heritage railway, founded in 1981, with legal status as a society since 1982. It has set itself the task of preserving historical railway vehicles and other items of railway technology (e.g. signalling equipment, communication and safety equipment) in an operational state or for museum display and to make them accessible to the public. Their centre of operations is the locomotive shed at Schönow.<br />
<br />
== Vehicles ==<br />
The MKB's vehicles, sites and special exhibits are maintained voluntarily by members. As far as permission for railway operations is required, the inspections required by law are carried out by the [[Federal Railway Office]] (''Eisenbahn-Bundesamt'').<br />
<br />
'''Operational vehicles which can move under their own power are:'''<br />
:MKB 01 – ''[[Kleinlokomotive]]'' Kö 0128, 25 PS diesel engine<br />
:MKB 51 – ''[[Rottenkraftwagen]]'' ex Klv-51, 75 PS diesel engine<br />
:MKB 52 – Motorised [[draisine]] ex Klv-12, 26 PS petrol engine<br />
:MKB 53 – Hand-operated draisine ex TCDD, human powered<br />
:MKB 55 – Motorised draisine ex MÁV, 14 PS petrol engine<br />
In addition there are various goods wagons (some still being refurbished), a ''[[Behelfspersonenwagen]]'' of [[Kingdom of Prussia|Prussian]] design and a railway post van (stored).<br />
<br />
== Other exhibits ==<br />
A ticket office based on a historical prototype, a ticket printing press, the training signal box "Frohnau" and the MKB's 'signal garden' give a glimpse behind the scenes of railway operations.<br />
<br />
== Operations ==<br />
The MKB is a co-user of the [[Zehlendorf Railway]] with operating rights on its former facilities. Rail services, as on other museum railways are not carried out by the MKB, whose operations are limited to shunting. Nevertheless, visitors may ride on the vehicles at the museum site. Each year in September the activities and progress with the society's work are exhibited to the public at an open day.<br />
