July 2024

The current project list shows some postponements and concretizations. A gauge 1 model is even due to arrive earlier than planned.

The white pointed roof refrigerator cars from Dingler form a contrast to ordinary freight cars for gauge 1. They were produced with and without a brakeman's cab.

Dingler is currently delivering the excellent refrigerator cars from the Italian FS. Only a few examples for gauge 1 are still available. They are worth every penny.

The first part describes a refrigerated car suitable for ferries with a reduced profile, plus 34 photos in large format.

Steam locomotives for field railroads are quite rare to find in 1:32. Three of them run on one layout.

Märklin is unboxing the Big Boy.

Good layouts, modules and dioramas often outlive their owners. Now a piece of Saxony's narrow-gauge railroad has returned to Horst Göhr for repair and redesign.

There are suitable tractor units and semi-trailers in high quality for the road transportation of containers in gauge 1:32. A report with 52 photos.

Since the 1970s, ISO containers have become increasingly popular in intermodal transport. Today, the majority of goods are transported in containers. Unfortunately, the topic was largely ignored in 1-gauge. But now there are inexpensive, modern containers and vehicles for road transportation.

Märklin is shipping the Union Pacific Big Boy #4014 this July. The gauge 1 model is large and heavy, which makes shipping somewhat more complicated.

The second part deals with the correct loading of a Märklin gauge 1 dump tipper with ballast or coal.
