The gauge 1 models of the ELNA 6 from Kiss Modellbahnen are about to be delivered. I was able to take a close look at the version of the Eschweiler Bergwerks-Verein. A review with 59 photos in large format showing all the details.

On the photo table was a hand sample of a wine barrel car of the "Deutsche Weinkesselwagon Gesellschaft m.b.H. Kitzingen". A gauge 1 model from Fine Models, this version fits very well with the other Bavarian freight cars.

Thomas Zeitz has taken on the task of building two kiosks simultaneously: one from Plus Models in resin and a laser kit from Jaffa's Moba Shop. First, a detailed build report on the refinement and finishing of the kiosk from Jaffa.

In English, one word can have many meanings. That gives scope.

Dingler hat eine Animation des kommenden Wismarer Triebwagens produzieren lassen. Einblicke in das kommende Spur-1-Modell.

Dingler has received the G 90 freight cars and is now starting delivery.

Going on tour with a speeder: For some, it's just another job.

On September 16 and 17, the German Federal Ministry of Digital Affairs and Transport is organizing Rail Days with the rail industry. The events are more inventive than the advertising logo.

During the Days of the Railway Friend at the German Railway Association (DEV) between Bruchhausen-Vilsen and Asendorf, freight trains ran on meter gauge. The oldest load on a 125-year-old flat car was a 99-year-old tractor.

As usual, during the Days of the Railroad Friend(s) at the Deutscher Eisenbahn-Verein, there is more operation between Bruchhausen-Vilsen and Asendorf on meter gauge than on the other operating days. But on the standard gauge line the "Kaffkieker" shuttled.

Today and tomorrow the Days of the Railroad Friend take place around Bruchhausen-Vilsen. There will be traffic on the meter gauge railroad, a standard gauge railcar and shunting demonstrations showing the loading of standard gauge wagons onto roller trucks and corresponding freight trains to Heiligenberg and Asendorf.

The remote-controlled tractors in 1:32 scale need trailers to fulfill their purpose. Here are presented some, part of which even have a servo drive and lighting.

For the operators of gauge 1 railroads of the newer eras, there are inexpensive remote-controlled vehicles that bring movement to roads and freight yards.
