Here are a few more photos of the Bavarian pointed-gable wagon Oq and two cranes from Fine Models for 1-gauge.

Voici quelques photos supplémentaires du wagon bavarois à pignons pointus Oq et de deux grues de Fine Models pour l'échelle 1.

At the French heritage railway, I found the counterpart to the hand-operated 5-ton crane from Bavaria, which Fine Models produced for gauge 1. It is over 110 years old.

If the substance of an old Gauge 1 model is good, it can still be refined and brought up to date even decades later. Bernhard Lindlbauer has reworked a 28-year-old Dingler model of the Bavarian 5-ton crane of the Deutsche Reichsbahn and equipped it with functional details.

Fine Models now presents an accurate model of the Bavarian crane car that was in service with the Deutsche Bundesbahn in Bavaria until the 1960s. The gauge 1 model is a mechanical masterpiece. 29 detailed photos.

The hand sample of the Bavarian crane from Fine Models in the Bundesbahn version is much more complex than the Länderbahn version.

Bavarian state railroad cars are ideal for gauge 1 because they are short and often have unusual shapes. Fine Models has now received the hand samples of the crane wagon and other models. I have photographed them in detail.

Spur1-Exklusiv has decided to make a special offer.

Until the 1970s, there were manually operated gantry cranes in German railway stations for reloading heavy goods from open freight cars to carriages and trucks - and vice versa. For those who don't necessarily need real action on a Gauge 1 diorama or at the loading track, Jürgen Hans offers an attractive alternative to functional models.
