A deliberately complex industrial narrow gauge railway layout in 1:32 scale, and I’ve already snapped 50 photos—that is, captured them on my camera’s sensor and memory card. A lovely layout from Saxony.

Un réseau ferroviaire industriel à voie étroite à l'échelle 1:32, délibérément complexe, et j'ai déjà pris 50 photos — c'est-à-dire que je les ai capturées sur le capteur et la carte mémoire de mon appareil photo. Un magnifique réseau originaire de Saxe.

There are only four weeks left until the International 0+1 Gauge Days in Giessen. As in previous years, a new 1-gauge diorama of the Michasdorfer Kleinbahn will be on display and surrounded by visitors. That's why I took some photos of it in advance. 34 large-format photos.

Il ne reste plus que quatre semaines avant les Journées internationales du voie 0+1 à Giessen. Comme les années précédentes, un nouveau diorama à l'échelle 1 de la Michasdorfer Kleinbahn sera exposé et entouré de visiteurs. C'est pourquoi j'ai pris quelques photos à l'avance. 34 photos grand format.

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.

The smallest gauge 1 layout at the International Gauge 0+1 Days in Giessen was easy to miss and the stand was only one meter wide. Kim Marsh from Australia presented a very compact scene from his homeland – with an operational field railway!

An Austrian logging railroad with charm runs on narrow modules and 16.5 mm gauge. Many self-made switches and self-built vehicles make for interesting operation.

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

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

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

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.

The Toury sugar factory in France, founded in 1875, once had an extensive narrow-gauge network for beet transport and factory traffic. Uwe Haas has set up a monument to it.

The Michasdorfer Kleinbahn has been completed. The light railway layout has now been extended by a corner module, which is again characterized by the near-natural design.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The modular field railway layout of Thomas Zeitz has already been presented with many pictures. Here now his description.

Thomas Zeitz presented his versatile 1/32nd scale field railway at the Spur1/Spur0 Messe in Mainz.

In 2014 I showed a nice field railway from Denmark in scale 1:35. In the meantime the model maker has changed to a larger scale. A good reason to have a look at the old module layout again. 50 pictures in large format.
