Without concrete ties, not much can be done on the railroad. But how are they made and what do they really look like? Part 1 of an exploration.

IG-DU issued an invitation - and many visitors came to view the large-scale Gauge 1 layout in the making and to talk shop.

The Museum of German Inland Shipping in Duisburg held a well-attended model railway exhibition over the weekend. The IG-DU was there again. 24 snapshots.

It will take some time, but if there is sufficient customer demand, a gauge 1 model of the SNCF and CFL “flat-iron” will be available.
