This is one of several board game shops that were operating in Prague in the early 2010's, where I would sometimes find useful teaching materials (I taught English at the time). This one was mostly of interest to an old friend who was travelling with me, so we stopped by to see if they were interested in anything. Pasaz Rokoko is actually connected directly to the complex of tunnels associated with Palac Lucerna, including Pasaz Lucerna, but for some reason is considered to be separate. What is true is that Lucerna is a much larger complex than is obvious from the street. It was actually designed by the architect Vaclav M. Havel (1897-1979), who was the father of future Czech President Vaclav Havel (1936-2011). According to Wikipedia, anyway, Palac Lucerna is still owned by the Havel family, specifically Dagmar Havlova, the younger Vaclav Havel's sister-in-law, rather than widow (they both have the same name).

I didn't end up buying this railroad-themed board game, but the name is obviously a reference both to "Mogul" meaning a rich business person, in this case a railroad tycoon, as well as to the 2-6-0 Mogul steam locomotive type under the Whyte classification system.

This sign is actually only the platform destination board showing what train is at the platform, so this wasn't taken in Munich at all. Instead, this was Mannheim, where I got my bus to Prague. This put my arrival time at 1618, hours behind the scheduled time of 0927. Controversially, however, CNL457 has since been withdrawn, as DB have decided to replace all their sleepers with ICE high speed trains. However, a number of sleeper trains operated by foreign companies will remain.

Unfortunately I don't have the number of this coach handy, but it was one of the old 1940's-era 4-wheel coaches pictured earlier. Note that in Europe even the steam excursions have destination boards!! :-)
