Modellbau Voth produces models for smaller scales as well as impressive bridges for gauge 1.

Properly secured, realistic loads mean an effort that not every gauge 1 operator wants to make. Removable loads are a practical solution.

The DB Museum is venturing into one of the last hardly explored topics in railroad history. Next Friday, April 26, 2024, the Nuremberg museum will launch the special exhibition “Under Pressure. The history of the train toilet”. In eight themed areas with around 150 exhibits, documents and photos, the development of the train toilet from its beginnings in the 19th century to the present day is recounted. Exhibits include the chamber pot from Chancellor Otto von Bismarck's drawing room carriage, a model of a faeces transport carriage, toilets in original and miniature size, a pioneering bioreactor and many stories to make you smile.

Jaffa's Moba-Shop offers a range of 3D-printed figures for gauge 1 that no longer need to be painted. This could be an alternative if you don't intend to portray the model people with a macro lens.

Sometimes you can't do without stations underground. A model for gauge 1 offers completely new perspectives.

Tractors are made by Schuco for collectors. As they are built in 1:32 scale, there is always something for model railroaders.

The Gauge 1 project list is growing, but deliveries are progressing rather slowly.

Proform is working on new gauge 1 models for narrow-gauge tracks.

The International 0+1 Gauge Days in Giessen were very well attended. A few figures.

Here are a few photos of the now painted and lettered hand samples from Gauge 1 Austria, which were exhibited in Giessen.

Two years ago, this large French O gauge layout was exhibited in Giessen at the International 0+1 Gauge Days. This time, a few new details caught the eye.

Dirk Becker exhibited his steam dairy in Giessen for the second time. The small 1:32 scale field railway system is well worth seeing.

At the International Gauge 0+1 Days in Giessen, a gem was almost a little hidden in Hall 1: the RhB station (Davos) Wiesen, a 1:45 scale operating diorama at the very highest level of model railroading. 36 photos in large format.

Downscaled models are known to be the bread and butter of all model railroad manufacturers. Märklin does it the other way round.

The international online magazine spur1info is turning twelve years old these days. Now it's time for the first gauge 1 model to be announced under the new spur1infoMAX brand. The ICE 2 is being developed in close cooperation with the market leader and is naturally setting new standards in every respect.
