Until the 1970s, there were manually operated gantry cranes in German railway stations for reloading heavy goods from open freight cars to carriages and trucks - and vice versa. For those who don't necessarily need real action on a Gauge 1 diorama or at the loading track, Jürgen Hans offers an attractive alternative to functional models.

Märklin adapts to the market with the (spring) new products for gauge 1. Apart from the V 320, which has already been announced in detail at spur1info, there are reissued cars and a truck.

It couldn't be better: Yves Rittener shows how he built the vines for a 1-gauge club layout. The result is high-end model making.

On ne peut pas faire mieux: Yves Rittener montre comment il a construit les vignes pour un aménagement de club de voie 1. Le résultat est un modélisme de première classe.

Vineyards on Lake Geneva are the inspiration for an elaborate plantation on a Swiss club layout in 1:32. Part 1.
