American railway models are admired worldwide for their independent technology. Märklin has now decided to adapt the Golden Spike Set for gauge 1 to honor the 150th anniversary of the Transcontinental Railway. This set will be announced shortly by Märklin. spur1info was exclusively invited to take a close look at the samples. 77 large format photos and the facts.

As a surprise and without announcement Dingler has produced another 1-gauge model of a modern hopper. spur1info had the car in the photo studio and exclusively presents 32 photos of the attractive model, which is internationally in use.

Dingler is currently delivering the new four-axle hoppers of the Falls type. Beside the famous "Weiacher" there are also other colorful models. I had the blue HASTAG car on my photo studio desk. 39 photos of the very attractive modern freight car.

One year ago the Tipo FF with long wheelbase from Lucchini Rail Models was announced here. The Italian freight car will be available in Sinsheim.
