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!

The former Ukrainian kit manufacturer announced figures and scenes from today's world.

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.

MiniArt will soon launch a kit of the Tempo E 400 high loader flatbed.

Hardly had MiniArt released a kit of musical instruments than the Ukrainian manufacturers added two pianos. More kits are flooding the market.

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.

MiniArt has released a new car kit that fits well to epoch III. And quite by chance we learn why a related Mercedes-Benz looked very similar to a Volkswagen Beetle - or was it the other way round?
