A record number of projects and an astonishing number of deliveries of some long-awaited 1-gauge models made up the year 2023. Things will continue at an even faster pace in 2024.

The brilliant Italian model maker and classic car enthusiast Attilio Mari is no longer alive.

spur1info wishes its readers, subscribers, advertisers, suppliers and friends all over the world a Merry Christmas.

There are always perfectly designed dioramas among gauge 1 model railroaders. But designing an entire layout down to the smallest detail takes a lot of time, a keen sense of observation, craftsmanship and the best materials. Accordingly, it is rare to find such detailed gauge 1 layouts.

The fantastic U-shaped layout, which spur1info will present in several parts with around 160 photos, is a perfect symbiosis of tracks, operating possibilities and a landscape that is very rarely found in this design quality on gauge 1 layouts. The theme of the layout is the transition from the Länderbahn era to the early Reichsbahn era.
