50 years ago, back in the days of the Deutsche Bundesbahn, events were possible that are no longer feasible today due to a lack of switches, tracks, and staff. Here are a few snapshots from August 28, 1975, which include a long-decommissioned Bavarian S 3/6.

Il y a 50 ans, à l'époque de la Deutsche Bundesbahn, des événements qui ne sont plus possibles aujourd'hui en raison du manque d'aiguillages, de voies et de personnel pouvaient encore avoir lieu. Voici quelques clichés pris le 28 août 1975, sur lesquels on peut voir une S 3/6 bavaroise mise hors service depuis longtemps.

The gauge 1 models from Markscheffel [&] Lennartz, built by Bockholt, Pein, Gebauer, Schönlau and Hübner, remain legendary to this day and were technical masterpieces since the 1970s. A brief company history, a brochure, and a discovery.

Let's take another look at France: at details on the tracks and the freight cars with more than a hundred years of history.

2017 was a richly varied year for buyers of Gauge 1 models. A look back.

2016 was a year with an unusually diverse range of models for Gauge 1.

2015 was a year of new Märklin products for Gauge 1, but other suppliers also came onto the booming market with attractive handbuilt samples and models.

2014 was a eventful year for Gauge 1 and the reporting of spur1info.

A steaming Märklin novelty marked the dawn of Gauge 1 in Göppingen in 2013, live steam models rolled between high-quality brass models.

At the beginning of April, spur1info will be ten years old.

A good occasion to look back on how Gauge 1 and spur1info have developed.

Shortly after the Second World War, people in Germany had other things to worry about than building model trains. With the Flying Hamburger on a self-built track system, there is a history that should not be completely lost. Especially since there were already functions built in that do not exist in gauge 1 to this day.

The Wunder gauge 1 models are being delivered these days. About 35 years ago, the DB cars were phased out. What did the passenger trains with conversion cars look like back then, what is also important in the models? 35 photos I took about 50 years ago, when the 3yg(e) cars were commonplace.

For five years a hardly known railroad company existed in the French occupation zone in southwest Germany: SWDE.

The current EK-Special 138 describes the complicated railroad history after the end of World War II.

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?
