After the steam locomotives and their cabs in the first part, the second part is about Dingler's V 36 and what can be found and further refined under the hood and roof.

There are settings that you can't invent. Eventually you will find a believable accumulation of details that inspire a modeler to a diorama. Here comes a bridge scene for gauge 1 that has it all and could be realized on a compact footprint for epochs I to VI.

Only forty models of the exclusive Bavarian cogwheel locomotive PtzL 3/4 and the DRG and DB versions are offered by Fine Models. 29 photos show the details of the Epoch I version.

In 2016, the fantastic model maker Attilio Mari had recorded his life's work. Now he is retiring through age.

New projects and postponed deadlines: The current project list gives hope - and will disappoint numerous customers.

Some information from the world of gauge 1 for spur1info subscribers.

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.

Dingler received production samples of the passenger cars from BLS, SOB and SBB - and photographed them right away.

The Gauge 1 project list from the end of January 2021 gives a preview of freshly announced new products, some of which are seven years old and are about to be delivered at last. The number is frighteningly high, but completely unrealistic.

A journey into the land of fantasy and adventure that only Gauge 1 can offer.

Fine Models is just delivering the Bavarian open freight cars. 21 photos and a review of the E-car of the Royal Bavarian State Railways.

There is news for subscribers.

Gauge 1 users and collectors in Switzerland are likely to rejoice over the striking Ce 6/8 I from SBB Historic. For all other gauge 1 customers, Märklin unfortunately has little to offer in 2021.

The class ET 85 electric railcar from Wunder for gauge 1 is still to come. However, the EB 85 sidecar to reinforce the train consisting of powered rail car and cab control car is already available.

spur1info shows 59 photos of the two handbuilt samples of the Prussian T 3 in Prussian state railroad version and as a Bundesbahn locomotive, which might make you go weak. Because the three-axle cult tender locomotive is just too sweet! A detailed report describes the equipment of the gauge 1 model.

An established manufacturer enters the production of French freight cars.

The three-axle conversion cars of the Deutsche Bundesbahn were coupled in pairs. If you want to couple the new gauge 1 models of the 3yge cars from Wunder close to prototype, you have to plan a little and procure suitable couplers. There are several solutions, which are presented here.

I received the following message from MBW, which contains more details about the price and delivery schedule of the announced models.

From 2021, the two successors founded after the insolvency of Kiss Modellbahnen will go their own ways.

There is something stuck in the planned deliveries of gauge 1 models. The current status.

One year after the announcement of the novelty, Wunder has received the first hand sample of the classic express train car of the Deutsche Bundesbahn. The gauge 1 model offers superlative equipment, but will not fit on every layout.

You don't want to repack such a heavy gauge 1 model like the V 320 from Märklin. If you need to do so, I have a suggestion on how to do it without helpers.

Wunder systematically works off its backlogs. Exactly five years have passed since the announcement of the ET and ES 85/485 and 885. But now Wunder has received the hand samples. And they are already in the photo studio at spur1info.

Here are photos that whet your appetite for the attractive Gauge 1 models of the vintage railcar from the Reichsbahn era.

Just in time for the delivery of the Baden car kits from Dingler, Michael Wyrwich from Wyko-Echtdampf delivered the Baden IVg to his customers.

Peter Krattiger has photographed his model and is impressed by the quality.

Märklin's V 320 001 of the DB is a massive diesel locomotive. Spur1info was able to examine it as a pre-production sample. A gauge 1 locomotive with which market leader Märklin shows which impressive and enormously attractive models can be produced with zinc die casting. A few innovations are also included in the package.

A report with 84 photos showing every detail.

Modellbau Marcus Jaegers has built a Luxembourg Fads in 1/32nd scale for a customer.

Fine Models has received first snapshots of the completely new hand sample of the Siemens Vectron. The modern electric locomotive is marketed under the in-house brand Kiss Modellbahnen Deutschland.

After the interior and windows have been installed and the chassis has been completed, the assemblies of the Baden express train car from Dingler can be combined. But in the end there is still a hurdle to be overcome until the gauge 1 passenger car from 1903 is equipped with all the details.

Car kits for gauge 1 are rare and overstrain many model railroaders. Inspired by the requests of live steam railroaders from Switzerland, Dingler dared the experiment and published two kits of Baden cars. The baggage car offers hardly any major hurdles even for beginners - if they know a few tricks and tools. It is not a quick kit for three afterwork hours. But with a little patience and my detailed assembly instructions with 60 pictures you will successfully reach your goal.

At the end of the third quarter of 2020, it is worth taking a look at the current gauge 1 project list. Because by the end of the year a veritable flood of models has been announced, the likes of which we have never seen before. If it will not come otherwise ...

This week I received a sample package with figures for gauge 1, which belong to the top class and add unique motifs to the booming market.

Two CIWL Pullman cars and a baggage car from the luxury trains "Edelweiss" and "Gotthard Pullman Express" are presenting themselves before the camera. The first one is spectacular on the outside, less so inside. But in any case a gem for gauge 1 collectors with lots of space. Have a look and enjoy!

While packing the locomotive I discovered the two figures between the polystyrene flakes. They are cast out of metal and neatly painted.

The exhibition in Norway is featured in two videos showing the module layout in operation.

Take one! The plastic box, which will be empty at the end of the 2019 season on a pier on the Baltic Sea, ironically symbolizes a part of the gauge 1 market: Order something, we can deliver almost nothing anyway!

Now it's time to bet on the Zero.

Despite tha: the updated list of gauge 1 projects promises more deliveries for 2020 - and some more new projects.

SNCF's 241-A-65 is a Swiss-based heritage locomotive that leaves no one cold. As a Märklin model for gauge 1 it was worth 98 photos in large format. The pictures of this impressive French locomotive show its strengths and few weaknesses, the review is in progress.

Spur 1 Austria today presents a new steam locomotive and another new version. Besides status reports on the currently produced models there is a spectacular announcement: 0 Gauge.
