Traveling on a meter-gauge railway through the French Alps in Haute Savoie is a delightful experience.

Come along and enjoy the photographic impressions.

If the substance of an old Gauge 1 model is good, it can still be refined and brought up to date even decades later. Bernhard Lindlbauer has reworked a 28-year-old Dingler model of the Bavarian 5-ton crane of the Deutsche Reichsbahn and equipped it with functional details.

Since the technical fundamentals of railways have remained unchanged for many decades, old regional railway chassis could be used to build work cars. Steiner Modellwerke took a similar approach with its gauge 1 models of DB X cars.

Colorful collections of cars and exotic locomotives are not uncommon on museum and tourist railways. But finding a large class 52 of the Deutsche Reichsbahn at a small French operator is a real surprise.
