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.

Gauge 1, the king of gauges, is certainly impressive. But it's not just loudspeakers and motors where larger volumes can make an even bigger impression – and give hobby train drivers unexpected riding pleasure. The prices for such trains are higher than for Gauge 1, but the delivery time is shorter. An old acquaintance from the industry offers them through his new company. “Railways in another dimension...”

Klaus Wagner regularly invites to his Gauge 1 meeting in the garden. Snapshots from the weekend.

MTH from the USA, also represented with "Railking" models in 1:32, will close business.

Garden railways need robust weather-proof turnout drives. Proform Spur 1 has developed a turnout drive for gauge 1 that can withstand rain and snow. The drive is also suitable for LGB tracks.

This year the summer novelties were not announced on the Intermodellbau. In May Märklin will try out a new format and present the new products online.
