Dear international readers,

Welcome to spur1info, the world's only online magazine for the friends of Gauge 1. Gauge 1, that means museum-quality 1:32 scale models, mostly made of brass or die-cast, operating on 45 mm gauge tracks. Like the well-known garden railroads, but much more detailed, handcrafted in small series and true mechanical masterpieces.

Now that the Corona pandemic seems to have been contained to some extent, model railroad and model making fairs are taking place again. But what about next year?

In the 1970s, DB locomotive 85 007 stood in the parking lot in front of the engineering college in Constance. As a museum piece, it came to Freiburg under a shelter. Hans and Walter Ziegler have rebuilt it in 1:32 scale. A building instruction for patient model builders.

Surprise, surprise! An experienced small series manufacturer enters the gauge 1 market. spur1info knows the facts and exclusively presents three complete models with 84 photos.
