2022

An unbelievable number of announcements, modest deliveries, and many problems in detail characterized the year 2022. Will 2023 be better for 1 Gauge? Probably not. And then there's a prize for excellence for the first time.

spur1info wishes you a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

The amount of new announcements and delivery postponements now overwhelms even insiders. Almost 200 Gauge 1 projects are currently waiting to be completed. And more new products are added every week. Collective insanity has taken hold in 1 Gauge.

The list of Gauge 1 projects is getting longer and longer.

Horst Göhr has completed and photographed the Neuendorf-Karritz station. The attention to detail is visible - and this is what the 1 gauge is predestined for.

Announced in 2021 by Studio Chilap, the DR battery-powered towing vehicle is now ready for production. The handmade model for gauge 1 has special features.

Unfortunately, in these challenging times, deliveries of 1-gauge models are sometimes delayed.

Once again, Gauge 1 suppliers empty their freshly replenished cornucopia and announce many new products. Here are the details.

There is exciting news.

Looking at the cabs of Wunder's E 93 hand sample makes you want to climb aboard. 52 photos show the qualities of the highly detailed brass model for gauge 1, which is scheduled for delivery in 2023.

Fine Models has received the first photos of two production models of the short Bavarian baggage cars.

Epoch IV has been gaining importance in Gauge 1 for quite some time. Now there is one more suitable vehicle from Schuco, the Mercedes-Benz Unimog U1600.

Small messages on 1:32.

"Vollendete Baukunst" - Perfect Architecture is the name of the large-format book by artist and model builder Volker Gerisch. The title could not be more apt, because Gerisch leaves nothing unfinished, he miniaturizes in 1:22.5 scale and goes to the limits of what is possible - occasionally even beyond. This has also resulted in by-products such as old-fashioned telephones and lamps in 1:32 for 1 gauge.

During Black Week, which is still in progress, you'll be pelted everywhere with cheap mass-produced goods from China or shop-wares from dusty corners of the warehouse. Everything has to go, even if the discounts were already valid before and will be even bigger at the beginning of 2023, because potential customers have good reasons to hold back. Without compulsion to buy and discount, there is also still next week a pretty figurine set of Wema-Manufaktur, which you can (let) give.

Not everyone has the space to document an entire station area in 1:32 scale. In narrow gauge, the stations are naturally smaller. Therefore, a masterpiece was created with the three structures of Ochsenhausen, which spur1info has the chance to show with 44 photos.

50 photos and a review of Wunder's distinctive Bundesbahn KKks and Tae(m)s 890 swing roof cars for Gauge 1.

The command car for push-pull trains is a hand sample from Kiss Modellbahnen with an interesting interior. 28 pictures showing all the details you haven't seen before.

Hand samples are the first attempt to put a model on wheels and are necessary to avoid errors in batch production. The Di-27 from Kiss Modellbahnen points in a good direction for the upcoming 2023 gauge 1 models.

The "Sour Cucumber" has grown. The Michasdorfer Kleinbahn, a somewhat obscure field railroad on 1f gauge, has been expanded by a module. 35 photos bring out the qualities of the layout construction.

Horst Göhr's rural station is nearing completion. Here are some snapshots of the building.

Yesterday, I was able to photograph a new field railway module of the "Saure Gurke" in 1f scale. Here is a little appetizer for some unusual photos that stand out from the photographic monotony in magazines and forums. Because it all depends on the lighting.

The outdoor grounds of the DB Museum in Nuremberg are home to some rarities. But the mechanical signal boxes are not to be sneezed at either.

A visit to Nuremberg is worthwhile, because the city has a lot to offer. The main attraction for railroad fans should be the DB Museum, for which you should take plenty of time.

MarGe Models is shipping some new trucks and tractors for the current epoch VI to fit gauge 1 models.

Klütz is known for its compact station with turntable, whose buildings also were available for gauge 1. The light railroad with 600 mm gauge of the Foundation deutsche Kleinbahnen offers interesting perspectives and some nostalgia. 60 photos.

New projects and updated delivery dates for gauge 1 models dominated the news last week.

How do you get the railroad and the solar eclipse in the picture at the same time? Tough!

The hand sample of Dingler's Wismar rail bus has arrived and was photographed right away. Here are the first photos of the impressive model.

Pictures of the two Gauge 1 hand samples of the G 3/4 from Kiss Modellbahnen.

Here come now the first hand sample photos of the Swiss beer cars from Dingler.

Once again, there is old in a new version.

Brick and half-timbering, a small footprint and a touch of romance: Horst Göhr builds a small train station in the Altmark region of northern Saxony-Anhalt that unfortunately lost its function 21 years ago.

I received the following news about Bauma.

Angular modern locomotives have their own appeal. The hand sample of the Gravita 10 BB from Spur 1 Austria could reinforce the trend towards 1/32 scale models of currently operating locomotives. 50 photos showing all the details.

The date for the 2023 Spur 1 meeting in Speyer is now fixed.

Two kits with small kiosks from Jaffa's Moba-Shop and Plus Models have been taken on by Thomas Zeitz and completed and refined. Part 2 of his illustrated report.

The Gauge 1 pioneer Bockholt has ceased production at the end of March 2022. That's what it says on the homepage since a few days.

Culemeyer road rollers brought freight cars and heavy loads to places where there were no tracks. RailAdventure has developed auxiliary bogies for transferring rail vehicles that work on rail and now also on road.

Steiner Modellwerke has added Bavarian whistle and bell signs to its program.

Flexible freight cars in all colors, new types of containers and lightweight construction, prototypes and new couplers: At InnoTrans in Berlin, you can experience the rail trends of the next decade. 58 pictures show where the journey is headed.

Locomotives made up only a small part of the exhibits at InnoTrans 2022. But there were spectacular engines among them that would also be eye-catchers in Gauge 1 scale.

More than ever, the future of passenger rail transport consists of multiple units. InnoTrans 2022 made that clear. But the drives are becoming more environmentally friendly.

The Austrian class 52 steam locomotive from Spur 1 Austria is distinguished by its rich detail and excellent sound. A detailed review and 74 large-format photos show the qualities of the Gauge 1 model.

InnoTrans, the world's largest rail trade fair, opens today in Berlin. 124 new rail vehicles will be presented on 3.5 km of track. RailAdventure has brought some of them to Berlin.

Märklin's gauge 1 locomotives of the class S 2/6 or class 15 have a coal load in the tender that appears to be decreasing. What is the technology behind this?

Märklin's fall novelties for Gauge 1 are big and heavy. In addition to the green Köfferli, there is also a German electric locomotive that is still in use today.

If you want to pass the time while waiting for the Märklin novelties, I have something for you. Alstom is currently touring Germany with a multiple unit train that draws its energy from hydrogen via fuel cells. As far as the hydrogen goes.

Exclusively, spur1info is showing 44 large-format photos of a release sample of Märklin's S 2/6 for Gauge 1. Except for tiny details that still need to be corrected, the sample shows the Gauge 1 model as it will be delivered in December 2022.

Usually, you see very little of the interior of an electric locomotive. Wunder's 151 for gauge 1 fascinates with a detailed replica of the engine room, where the bar is set very high. Exclusive pictures that fascinate.

Märklin has updated the delivery dates for gauge 1 models.

The Wunder stake cars for Gauge 1 that came onto the market in 2011 are still without equal today. Completely made of metal, with fold-down end walls. Gauge 1 friend, what more could you want?

Without loading, the Rlmms 56 looks cool despite the great attributes and doesn't really want to fit in with the other, partially aged cars. Therefore, the stake car received an adequate loading with fine track yokes.

Klingenhöfer Miniaturen expanded its extensive assortment with additional animal figures for Gauge 1. More dogs, rats, a swan and a brown bear are offered ready-painted to enliven dioramas and layouts.

Here are the factory images of all other versions of the ELNA 6 from Kiss Modellbahnen for gauge 1. The variety of versions of this compact tender locomotive is impressive. The French 040TX is also included.

Voici les photos d'usine de toutes les autres versions de l'ELNA 6 de Kiss Modellbahnen pour l'échelle 1. La diversité des variantes de cette locomotive tender compacte est impressionnante. La 040TX française est également présente.

The gauge 1 models of the ELNA 6 from Kiss Modellbahnen are about to be delivered. I was able to take a close look at the version of the Eschweiler Bergwerks-Verein. A review with 59 photos in large format showing all the details.

On the photo table was a hand sample of a wine barrel car of the "Deutsche Weinkesselwagon Gesellschaft m.b.H. Kitzingen". A gauge 1 model from Fine Models, this version fits very well with the other Bavarian freight cars.

Thomas Zeitz has taken on the task of building two kiosks simultaneously: one from Plus Models in resin and a laser kit from Jaffa's Moba Shop. First, a detailed build report on the refinement and finishing of the kiosk from Jaffa.

In English, one word can have many meanings. That gives scope.

Dingler hat eine Animation des kommenden Wismarer Triebwagens produzieren lassen. Einblicke in das kommende Spur-1-Modell.

Dingler has received the G 90 freight cars and is now starting delivery.

Going on tour with a speeder: For some, it's just another job.

On September 16 and 17, the German Federal Ministry of Digital Affairs and Transport is organizing Rail Days with the rail industry. The events are more inventive than the advertising logo.

During the Days of the Railway Friend at the German Railway Association (DEV) between Bruchhausen-Vilsen and Asendorf, freight trains ran on meter gauge. The oldest load on a 125-year-old flat car was a 99-year-old tractor.

As usual, during the Days of the Railroad Friend(s) at the Deutscher Eisenbahn-Verein, there is more operation between Bruchhausen-Vilsen and Asendorf on meter gauge than on the other operating days. But on the standard gauge line the "Kaffkieker" shuttled.

Today and tomorrow the Days of the Railroad Friend take place around Bruchhausen-Vilsen. There will be traffic on the meter gauge railroad, a standard gauge railcar and shunting demonstrations showing the loading of standard gauge wagons onto roller trucks and corresponding freight trains to Heiligenberg and Asendorf.

The remote-controlled tractors in 1:32 scale need trailers to fulfill their purpose. Here are presented some, part of which even have a servo drive and lighting.

For the operators of gauge 1 railroads of the newer eras, there are inexpensive remote-controlled vehicles that bring movement to roads and freight yards.

The model of the class 52 for gauge 1, which will soon be available from MBW, is something to behold. 72 first-class photos in large format and a review without whitewashing.

Now the details of Wunder's class 93^5-12 for gauge 1 have been finalized.

60 photos of the production model of the DB class 52 from MBW.

The International Toy Fair has ideas for the general public, who previously had to sneak in with dealer tickets.

There is no shortage of interesting trains in the east of Hanover even on Sundays, where the freight bypass and the main lines to the east and north meet. The most interesting train from RailAdventure came after sunset. 36 photos, some of them spectacular, with trains and traction units of all kinds.

Like the DB class 111, the class 181² is a timelessly beautiful locomotive. MBW has now announced that it will deliver the multi-system locomotive for the 50th anniversary in 2024. It will be able to handle international trains.

The International Gauge 1 Meeting in Speyer was a success. How does it move on?

Due to slow customs clearance, the two Donnerbüchsen hand samples from Fine Models arrived only today. 18 pictures of the attractive passenger cars for gauge 1.

A photographic foretaste of some gauge 1 exhibits in Speyer and unusual insights into Märklin's 02 0314.

The International Gauge 1 Meeting will take place next weekend in Speyer. The number of exhibitors at the new location has shrunk. But there are some new hand samples and novelty presentations.

There is news from the Gauge 1 scene.

In the third and last part of the report about Michasdorfer Kleinbahn, the viewer is offered many perfect details and an amazing track plan.

Part 2 of the Michasdorfer Kleinbahn leads through a forest in which some things are quite scary. 31 atmospheric photos in large format.

In Giessen, the field railway module boxes of the Michasdorfer Kleinbahn were constantly surrounded. I have photographed the layout in 1:32 scale at Micha Schmidt elaborately and captured many details that you can only perceive with the camera. 30 photos in large format.

There was an amazing activity in the first half of 2022 when it came to the delivery of gauge 1 models. A short summary and a look into the future.

The class 64, which is being realized by MBW as a gauge 1 model, was a beautiful tender locomotive. 30 photos from my archive, some of them more than 50 years old, recall long-gone Bundesbahn times and the uses of the compact steam locomotive.

Märklin announced today in a dealer newsletter that some gauge 1 steam locomotives are already sold out ex works.

At the International 0 + 1 Gauge Days in Giessen, Andreas Schuster from Atelier AnSchu had his latest creation on offer. This is a stock winch in gauge 1, applicable in workshop and for mounting on locomotives. A kit made of nickel silver, very detailed and - above all - immediately available.

In Annecy, about fifty kilometers south of Geneva, stands the magnificent Maison Gallo. A replica for 1 gauge.

Finally, a few snapshots and information from the International Gauge 0+1 Days in Giessen.

Wunder has now decided to produce DB's four-axle conversion cars.

Those who wanted to explore all the layouts needed a lot of time and were able to gain interesting impressions. The creativity of many layout builders was convincing. A picture gallery.

Among the many layouts, some already known, the O gauge layout Chemin de fer de la chapelle with a northern French SNCF motif stood out. 20 photos in large format.

The International Gauge 0+1 Days in Giessen were well attended. Do both Gauges fit together?

The three module boxes with a 1:32 scale light railroad, designed down to the last detail, were constantly besieged. It revolves around a sour cucumber manufactory in the style of the 1950s. The modules rightly received the attention, because the modeler works on a very high level.

AMJL had decided at short notice to exhibit in Giessen. And brought an interesting experience with them.

There was a lot on display at the large Spur 1 Austria booth.

Push-pull command cars dominated the scene at the Fine Models and Wunder booth at the International Gauge 0+1 Days in Giessen, Germany.

Snapshots from the International Gauge 0[nbsp] +1 Days in Giessen.

This coming weekend, the International Gauge 0 +1 Days June 2022 will take place in Giessen, north of Frankfurt. The focus is clearly on gauge 0. For the first time, gauge 1 is coming along quasi piggyback and on a trial basis in order to gather experience in the flood of trade fairs and exhibitions as to which might be worthwhile in 2023 - and which might not.

2018 was a colorful year with countless announcements of gauge 1 models. The spur1info project list included no less than 238 projects. Not much was delivered - except from Märklin - but there was something for most customers. Among others, they had the choice between models of the class 78 from Märklin and Kiss.

A few interesting versions for gauge 1 enrich the growing market of current rail vehicles.

The Internet is an inexhaustible source of information when it comes to the history and condition of locomotives and other rail vehicles. But you can't do without books, because reaching for the shelf sometimes provides faster orientation than confusing Wikipedia articles. Transpress has recently published inexpensive German language books on ÖBB and SBB locomotives and railcars that provide an up-to-date overview.

Field railway kits in 1:35 scale can be equipped with a motorized running gear for 16.5 mm gauge with little effort. Thomas Zeitz shows an example.

With the prototype of a Lasersachen segment turntable, Horst Göhr has built a nice module as the end of a branch line.

In part 2, Axel Kreidel describes the operating locations and self-built buildings of his gauge 1 layout.

And again there are more 1 gauge novelties.

The model has already been announced, now the hand sample is available: the MaK 600 D from Spur1-Exklusiv is nearing completion.

An interesting announcement for European gauge 1 customers.

With gauge 1, space is always at a premium if you want to do some operating. Axel Kreidel has equipped a room with a small layout that allows varied running and switching.

Part 1 describes the conception of his layout based on Bavarian motifs.

Now the price for the new Dingler hopper has been set.

Some novelties for gauge 1 and postponed delivery dates characterize the current project list. Much remains unpredictable.

You don't have to own the most modern locomotive to form an era-appropriate freight train with Dingler's new cars. First information and photos of the two hand samples for subscribers.

The E 03 001 with a TEE train was announced. But it was also worthwhile to be on the road with the camera. A picture sheet with 34 current photos.

At the end of May, the long announced TrainExpo.ch will take place in Birmensdorf near Zurich. In addition to the focus on 0 gauge, 1 gauge will also be represented.

2016 was a year with an unusually diverse range of models for Gauge 1.

Two Polish modelers were running PKP diesel and steam locomotives they had built themselves on a large gauge 1 oval. And Stangel had brought along new kits.

At the Spur1/Spur0 fair in Mainz, there were also unusual things to see in 1:43.5 scale: Narrow gauge with minimal space requirements. One idea could also be transferred to 1 gauge.

After the success of the well-attended fair at the beginning of April 2022, the date for the Spur1/Spur0 fair 2023 has now been set: it will take place on May 6 and 7, 2023 in the Alte Lokhalle in Mainz.

Due to age, the network of gauge 1 dealers is shrinking, but online retail with its tiny photos can only inadequately convey the fascination of gauge 1. That's why the leading gauge 1 suppliers have developed a new concept that brings their products closer to typical target groups.

2015 was a year of new Märklin products for Gauge 1, but other suppliers also came onto the booming market with attractive handbuilt samples and models.

There is news.

A large narrow gauge layout based on Saxon models has to be dismantled. For the time being, we take a last look at the gauge 1 module layout, which reproduces the flair of the Saxon narrow gauge railroads of the Deutsche Reichsbahn in the 1970s to 1980s like hardly any other.

Part 1 with 38 photos in large format.

A highly detailed Saxon narrow gauge layout is waiting for the detailed presentation. The first photos.

Gradually, some momentum is coming back into the Gauge 1 scene.

Since 2012, more than 2,000 articles and 25,000 to 30,000 photos have been published in spur1info. Since the Spur 1 magazine is running with a new, better software since November 2019 and the old archive will be shut down in the foreseeable future for software technical reasons, I am now trying to save what should be saved. With first success.

A new subscriber from South America builds French 1/32 scale townhouses at the highest level, inspired by Emmanuel Nouaillier. Miniature art at its best.
