Field railway kits in 1:35 scale can be equipped with a motorized running gear for 16.5 mm gauge with little effort. Thomas Zeitz shows an example.

With the prototype of a Lasersachen segment turntable, Horst Göhr has built a nice module as the end of a branch line.

In part 2, Axel Kreidel describes the operating locations and self-built buildings of his gauge 1 layout.

And again there are more 1 gauge novelties.

The model has already been announced, now the hand sample is available: the MaK 600 D from Spur1-Exklusiv is nearing completion.

An interesting announcement for European gauge 1 customers.

With gauge 1, space is always at a premium if you want to do some operating. Axel Kreidel has equipped a room with a small layout that allows varied running and switching.

Part 1 describes the conception of his layout based on Bavarian motifs.

Now the price for the new Dingler hopper has been set.

Some novelties for gauge 1 and postponed delivery dates characterize the current project list. Much remains unpredictable.

You don't have to own the most modern locomotive to form an era-appropriate freight train with Dingler's new cars. First information and photos of the two hand samples for subscribers.

The E 03 001 with a TEE train was announced. But it was also worthwhile to be on the road with the camera. A picture sheet with 34 current photos.

At the end of May, the long announced TrainExpo.ch will take place in Birmensdorf near Zurich. In addition to the focus on 0 gauge, 1 gauge will also be represented.

From France we received photos of the SNCF covered freight cars for gauge 1.

MBW has initial illustrations of the class 64 and is working on a quick delivery date.

The Swabian narrow-gauge railroad Marbach - Beilstein - Heilbronn has been memorialized. A comprehensive book. If only layout and printing would be better...

spur1info readers have known for a while that it's coming: the DR's 02 0314 experimental steam locomotive for Gauge 1. And we have another idea for Märklin.

Photos come in from Austria of models of the ÖBB class 52 from Spur 1 Austria, which have arrived at a customer.

After a forced break due to Corona, the International Gauge 1 Meeting will take place again this year. However, not in Sinsheim as before, but in the Technik-Museum in Speyer, the headquarters of the Speyerer Veranstaltungs- und Messe GmbH. The date has also been changed.

Where I took pictures 55 years ago, I still make photos today. Photos from there and on the road.

2017 was a richly varied year for buyers of Gauge 1 models. A look back.

Many thanks for the condolences that have reached me from Europe and the USA.
