I am delighted to announce a new product today that will give the gauge 1 market a much-needed boost.

Preiser has unexpectedly released a set of legendary figures for Gauge 1. The molded parts are unpainted.

Occasionally, it is enjoyable to create a simple photo setup for a gauge 1 model. Here is an example.

Like so many new announcements from Göppingen, the Edelweiss Express in gauge 1 has already stirred up its share of dust even before it rushes over the model tracks. Well-founded comments on the historical train model by Ern Hettinger and more information from Belgium.

Märklin lieferte als erste Version des Wismarer Schienenbusses den VT 88 902 der Deutschen Bundesbahn aus, alle weiteren kommen momentan in die Läden. Das Spur-1-Modell kann sich sehen lassen, man muss nur genauer hinschauen. Ein Vorstellung mit 57 großformatigen Fotos, die auch die sonst kaum sichtbaren Details zeigen.

The paper mill with narrow-gauge railway, exhibited by MKB in Giessen in 2024, has been expanded – and, like last year, was constantly surrounded by crowds.

Thomas Zeitz exhibited a small diorama in Giessen with the theme of market day. The scenery is set at a medieval city gate, but it could just as easily be in France.

Not everyone will want to buy the 1:1 gauge model of the 403 from Wunder or doesn't have the space for a four- to five-part multiple unit.

The not-so-old book about this beautiful DB train, which also ran for Lufthansa for a long time, is now available at a clearance price.

In uncertain times, Märklin is focusing on luxury in gauge 1.

Two news items from the world of gauge 1.

In Giessen, he finally showed up after all this time, the kit of an Art Nouveau kiosk in 1:32 scale. The interior design has turned out well.

Le diorama de Jean-Ville de Jan van Remmerden a impressionné à Gießen par la richesse de ses détails et la reconstitution d'un village de montagne français ou corse dans un espace réduit. 28 photos grand format.

The Jean-Ville box diorama by Jan van Remmerden made a big impression at the Gießen show with its wealth of detail and the scenery of a French or Corsican mountain village captured in the smallest of spaces. 28 large-format photos.

An outdated homepage, no response to e-mails. But at least it was possible to take a few quick photos of the current new releases from AMJL.

Today, spur1info turns 13 years old. It is still the world's only online magazine about gauge 1 and has been on the market longer than any other gauge 1 related medium. Since 2019, also continuously in English.

Since April 3, 2012, I have published over 32,000 photos and almost three thousand articles. spur1info has been clicked on several million times.

In Hall 1 of the Spur 0+1 days in Giessen, two different gauge 0 layouts were in operation. One came with some local, world-famous art from the Netherlands.
