At the International 0 + 1 Gauge Days in Giessen, Andreas Schuster from Atelier AnSchu had his latest creation on offer. This is a stock winch in gauge 1, applicable in workshop and for mounting on locomotives. A kit made of nickel silver, very detailed and - above all - immediately available.

I received photos from Switzerland of a long train with the cars from Dingler's kits, which are still being pulled by a Bavarian locomotive for the time being.
Baden express train car from Dingler assembled (2)
by Friedhelm Weidelich
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.

Baden express train car from Dingler assembled
by Friedhelm Weidelich
Dingler has produced various versions of the Baden express train cars from the turn of the century as partial kits for the target group of live steamers. It is partly already soldered, painted and printed, but it requires more experience and patience than the relatively simple assembly of the Baden baggage car.
In part 1 of the assembly description I show with 60 photos how to assemble the car body.
How to assemble the Baden baggage car from Dingler
by Friedhelm Weidelich
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.

EUR-Pallet Kit for Demanding Customers
by Friedhelm Weidelich
Accessories for gauge 1 are usually quite large. Kits can be mounted without magnifying glass and the secure grip of a four year old. The pallet kit discussed here is ideal for fun at the end of the working day - and the result is very close to the original.
Overhead crane from the Harz Mountains
by Friedhelm Weidelich
Until the 1970s, there were manually operated gantry cranes in German railway stations for reloading heavy goods from open freight cars to carriages and trucks - and vice versa. For those who don't necessarily need real action on a Gauge 1 diorama or at the loading track, Jürgen Hans offers an attractive alternative to functional models.
Mercedes-Benz Kit from MiniArt for Epoch III
by Friedhelm Weidelich
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?
Petrol Station for Epoch II

>A kit with German filling pumps for the period from 1927 to about 1948 is now available.

by Friedhelm Weidelich
After the Stangel's kit Dorfstraße 7 I decided to build Dorfstraße 9. The "work" progressed quickly, but here, too, you must find your own ways during assembly.
