The extremely creative Michasdorfer Kleinbahn in 1:32 is constantly expanding its fields of business. Now it also runs at a paper factory. 34 photos with many details worth seeing.

Three interconnected gauge 1 layouts from the Netherlands were the main attraction in Hall 1 at the International Gauge 0+1 Days in Giessen. Model building at the highest level has been offered here. 36 photos in large format.

These narrow-gauge systems are still worth seeing, even if they have been exhibited before.

Frank Mäule and Alexander Lösch have created a diorama in gauge 1 to commemorate the remaining branch near Remscheid. Model building at a very high level, as was the case at the International Gauge 0+1 Days in Giessen.

Spur 01 Modellbahnen from Mülheim an der Ruhr surprised with parts of new locomotives and cars for the 0 and 1 gauges.

Gauge 1 Austria showed the Henschel-Wegmann train in two versions in Giessen: Deutsche Reichsbahn Gesellschaft and Deutsche Bundesbahn.

A super-fine overhead line for the RhB locomotive from Dingler is in the works. And something neat.

The new carbonic acid wagon from Steiner Modellwerke arrived directly from Asia. Pictures from the mobile photo studio.

AMJL has brought along three hand samples. The SNCF UIC cars are very detailed. 44 photos.

Trade fairs are good testing grounds for model ideas. What about the Breuer tractor?

The International Gauge 0+1 Days in Giessen were well attended and offered more than any other exhibition of the large gauges.

The three hand samples of the gauge 1 DB class 151 from Märklin made a very good impression.

The Donnerbüchsen are on their way, but have not made it to Giessen. Interest is being tested with an interesting model.

Märklin shows a hand sample of the Wismar rail bus for the first time. First pictures.

Some quick shots of the production model of the A 3/5 700 from the hotel room. The detailing speaks for itself.

In Giessen, Pesolillo is showing the first parts of a hand-built model of a Swiss legendary locomotive. spur1info readers will find impressions of a super model photographed on site, which will not only be enjoyed in Switzerland. Never before has such a gauge 1 model of this prototype been produced in brass construction in contemporary quality.

Steiner Modellwerke will be presenting tomorrow a new freight car as a hand sample for the first time at the International 0+1 Gauge Days in Giessen.

If you want to recreate the Länderbahnen or the Deutsche Reichsbahn in gauge 1 scale, you will occasionally find suitable accessories - even with steam propulsion. Some examples.

The more powerful version of Deutsche Bundesbahn's V 100, the class 212 since 1968, in pictures from a bygone era. And one that looks like new.

The International Gauge 0 +1 Days will take place in Giessen on March 23 and 24, 2024. With a total of 99 exhibitors and 35 layouts, the trade fair is well on the way to becoming the central event for 1-gauge. A preview of trade fair novelties and exhibits.

Märklin has published new delivery dates. There are hardly any changes.

The V 100 of the Deutsche Bundesbahn, the later classes 211 to 213, were not particularly popular because they replaced the steam locomotives. Today, every photo of this diesel locomotive is a joy to behold.

Once again I was drawn to the freight bypass line in the sunshine. 71 photos with ICE, freight trains and engines running empty.

The freight bypass near Hanover is usually very busy and always productive for photographers. A picture gallery with rare, new and old vehicles.
