Spur 01 Modellbahnen kicks off with a fireworks display of announcements.

Swing bridges, culverts for a dirt road or a country road, massive bridges made of steel, concrete and natural stones: Bridges lend themselves to layouts and dioramas in many shapes and sizes.

Brücken gehören zu den spektakulären Bauten der Eisenbahn. Als Fotoobjekt liefern sie Anregungen zum Nachbauen – als Diorama oder Teil einer Anlage.

The third part of Thomas Zeitz's building report on the kiosk of Jaffa's Moba-Shop is about the interior and the exterior of the diorama.

There is also a small gauge 1 community in Belgium, which, due to a lack of supply from the industry, helps each other to build models. This ranges from Belgian signals to rolling stock, which often had its own design language in Belgium or consisted of imported or licensed copied locomotives and cars. A gauge 1 friend builds bridges.

What is she like now, the 02 0314-1 from Märklin? The steam locomotive model for gauge 1 also has great play value.

100 unique photos in large format document the gauge 1 production model of the 02 0314-1 of the DR from Märklin, item number 55127. The steam locomotive model has an elegance all of its own.

The Märklin gauge 1 locomotive cuts a fine figure on the photo table. Here are the first pictures from a large series. Look forward to more!

Already for a few years there are little known meter gauge tracks with stainless steel profiles.

Finally, a few photos and impressions from the Spur 1 meeting in Speyer.

In Speyer, JoWi showed the day-and-night effect in wallpapers for layouts and dioramas. You can even take a look at the moon.

In Speyer, Spur 1 Austria presented a dewy sample of the Deutsche Bundesbahn's class 043, an oil-fired locomotive of the former class 44. In the photo studio, the model showed its qualities in detail. 53 photos in large format.

Spur 01 Modellbahnen has taken its website and forum offline at short notice today.

Ten hours later the world has changed.

The limited-edition passenger train of the Gotthard Railway is about to be delivered. Photographic insights into the luxurious interior.
