The magazine "Gartenbahn Profi", which I co-founded in 2003, is ceasing publication after 23 years. A few memories and what comes next.

Le magazine Gartenbahn Profi, que j'ai cofondé en 2003, cesse de paraître après 23 ans d'existence. Quelques souvenirs et ce qui m'attend désormais.

In addition to the two Dingler 1-gauge production models of the Ka/Ks from DRG and DB, which I was able to show at the start of the fair, I had the opportunity in Giessen to photograph four more versions. 28 photos. Here they are.

En plus des deux modèles de série Dingler à l'échelle 1 des Ka/K de la DRG et de la DB, que j'ai pu présenter au début du salon, j'ai eu l'occasion, à Giessen, de photographier quatre autres versions. 28 photos. Les voici.

At the International Gauge 0+1 Days in Giessen, Dingler announces models of the SBB staff cars for Gauge 1. The Db-type cars, nicknamed “Sputnik,” were in service with several rail companies for nearly four decades. 55 large-format photos showing every detail.

À l'occasion des Journées internationales de l'échelle 0+1 à Giessen, Dingler présente ses modèles réduits des voitures de service des CFF à l'échelle 1. Ces voitures de type Db, surnommées « Spoutnik », ont été en service auprès de plusieurs compagnies ferroviaires pendant près de quarante ans. 55 photos grand format illustrant chaque détail.

Dingler will be shipping its battery-powered miniature locomotives for Gauge 1 in the coming weeks. I had the earliest and latest versions on the photo table and on the track. 52 large-format photos and information about the prototype and the model.

Dingler commercialisera ses locotracteurs à batterie pour l'échelle 1 dans les semaines prochaines. J'ai pu présenter les premières et les dernières versions sur la table de présentation et sur le circuit. 52 photos grand format ainsi que des informations sur le prototype et le modèle.

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.

Dingler is always good for a surprise. That is why the company is now launching unique locomotive models that are very well suited to the current 1 Gauge market and do not overburden customers either in terms of space or finances. Detailed information and photos of the two hand samples that will be exhibited at the International Gauge 0+1 Days in Giessen at the weekend.

Work continues on the Dingler class 87 for gauge 1. The steam loco with Luttermöller axles is to be delivered this year.

The white pointed roof refrigerator cars from Dingler form a contrast to ordinary freight cars for gauge 1. They were produced with and without a brakeman's cab.

Dingler is currently delivering the excellent refrigerator cars from the Italian FS. Only a few examples for gauge 1 are still available. They are worth every penny.

The first part describes a refrigerated car suitable for ferries with a reduced profile, plus 34 photos in large format.

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

Dingler produced eleven variants of the Wismar rail bus. The young Deutsche Bundesbahn version was on the photo table. 33 photos with all the details.

Dingler will soon deliver its superbly crafted Swiss beer wagons. Photos of all 23 versions.

Dingler previewed upcoming delivery dates.

Finally, a few photos and impressions from the Spur 1 meeting in Speyer.

On the joint stand of Dingler and Lokladen were some hand samples on display. Still a handful of the beautiful Ge 6/6 I of the Rhaetian Railway are available.

Dingler's side unloading cars (hoppers) for gauge 1 are now available. First photos of the production models.

The meter-gauge Rhaetian Railway already exists very successfully in all model railroad scales. Now Dingler and Proform are pushing ahead with the development of 1m models - a new subject with great appeal in the gauge 1 world as well. Swiss manufacturer Proform already has a range on offer that is even suitable for outdoor use.

Dingler is currently delivering the Ge 6/6 I electric locomotive for the Rhaetian Railway of Switzerland. Only a few copies of the small series are still available.

Märklin has specified its handsome delivery program for 2023. And there is good news from Dingler.

Dingler brings attractive gauge 1 cars for international traffic. First photos exclusively at spur1info.

The handbuilt sample of Dingler's Wismar rail bus is not yet complete, but demonstrates the quality and finish to be expected. 32 photos with interesting details.

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

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.

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

I received the following news about Bauma.

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.

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

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.

Informations about gauge 1 items.

Dingler has specified the model versions at the Rhaetian Crocodile. The meter gauge model for 1 Gauge is coming.

Dingler had the hand sample of the G 90 patinated. A few photos.

Dingler is presenting a two-axle freight car as the first new item in 2022 for Gauge 1. Not much time will pass until delivery.

With nice steadiness, Dingler announces new models in June and is able to show hand samples exactly one year later - usually this weekend in Sinsheim. Because the Spur-1-Treffen had to be cancelled again due to Corona, spur1info shows the photos of the picture-perfect cars.

Dingler will begin delivering BLS, SOB and SBB passenger cars tomorrow.

After the steam locomotives and their cabs in the first part, the second part is about Dingler's V 36 and what can be found and further refined under the hood and roof.

Dingler received production samples of the passenger cars from BLS, SOB and SBB - and photographed them right away.

Dingler is delivering the Italian pointed roof wagons these days. With them, Italian farmers delivered fruit and vegetables to many European countries until about 1985. The well-done freight wagon models belong in every freight train on gauge 1. A description of the two wagon types with 54 photos for connoisseurs.

The three-axle conversion cars of the Deutsche Bundesbahn were coupled in pairs. If you want to couple the new gauge 1 models of the 3yge cars from Wunder close to prototype, you have to plan a little and procure suitable couplers. There are several solutions, which are presented here.

I received photos from Switzerland of a long train with the cars from Dingler's kits, which are still being pulled by a Bavarian locomotive for the time being.

After the interior and windows have been installed and the chassis has been completed, the assemblies of the Baden express train car from Dingler can be combined. But in the end there is still a hurdle to be overcome until the gauge 1 passenger car from 1903 is equipped with all the details.

Dingler has produced various versions of the Baden express train cars from the turn of the century as partial kits for the target group of live steamers. It is partly already soldered, painted and printed, but it requires more experience and patience than the relatively simple assembly of the Baden baggage car.

In part 1 of the assembly description I show with 60 photos how to assemble the car body.

Car kits for gauge 1 are rare and overstrain many model railroaders. Inspired by the requests of live steam railroaders from Switzerland, Dingler dared the experiment and published two kits of Baden cars. The baggage car offers hardly any major hurdles even for beginners - if they know a few tricks and tools. It is not a quick kit for three afterwork hours. But with a little patience and my detailed assembly instructions with 60 pictures you will successfully reach your goal.

At Dingler, the kits of the Baden cars are currently being assembled on a trial basis. Here are the first pictures.

Dingler has now described the details of his 14 variants of the two-axle Prussian passenger cars and the mail/luggage cars in greater detail. And an addendum about the Wismar railbus.

Dingler has now set the prices for the four new projects.

With a focus on Germany, Dingler announces two novelty packages for gauge 1. Both projects close a gap just in time and will open new perspectives.

The International Spur 1 meeting in Sinsheim, traditionally held this weekend, had to be cancelled due to Covid-19. But you can find out here what Dingler would have presented there. The novelties are tempting and cover a lot of the scope of our hobby.

If you get desperate when coupling 1e narrow gauge vehicles, the model coupling is to blame. Now there is a solution that gives pleasure.

Dingler customers will not have to wait much longer for the bulk freight wagons Ktmm 65 and Ktmmv/Ud-73 of Deutsche Bundesbahn. We take a look at the hand samples. 31 photos and an animation.

Lokladen, Bingen, Germany, offers an exclusive gauge 1 model produced by Dingler: ETA 178 001 of the Deutsche Bundesbahn.

Dingler has provided us with photos of the Wittfeld battery-powered railcar 1-gauge model .

Dingler had some of his models of the Ae 4/7 of the SBB photographed.

A cohesive train appearance as with the prototype is a matter of nerves of steel with four-axle passenger cars on gauge 1. Even the fine motor skills of a surgeon won't get you far. But there are now practicable tools to solve these problems cleverly and to ensure an automatic connection of the cars.

Dingler has now the versions of EW 1 passenger cars for BLS, SOB and SBB.

Dingler's four-axle gravel cars from Switzerland have quite modern prototypes. A series of 47 pictures gives an insight into what the cars look like in operation.

As a surprise and without announcement Dingler has produced another 1-gauge model of a modern hopper. spur1info had the car in the photo studio and exclusively presents 32 photos of the attractive model, which is internationally in use.

It doesn't always have to be a steam locomotive, because there are more than enough of them for gauge 1. Dingler Präzisionsmodelle has decided on a model that actually ran on electric power. 6 photos of the handmade sample.
