About IG Spur II e.V., domicile Berlin, founded 1985

Being part of a team, your hobby can give much more fun, so join in!

We deal with model railroads in 1:22.5 (G-scale), in Germany also named "Spur II". It is the ideal scale for lots of railroad ambience, and allows one to easily build things for himself. You are welcome if you are interested in actively discussing and exchanging your ideas with like-minded, knowlegeable conversationalists, and if you like comfortable gatherings in our regional groups with all kinds of fun and enjoyment based on our common hobby, model railroading.

There is room for you in our team, come and join.

Doing things together as partners, whether you model in standard, narrow, or "slim" gauge, we are open to discuss new ideas and more than willing to share what we know. Are you looking for like-minded modellers? Do you want to talk about your hobby? We are the "turntable" at the roundhouse full of ideas. As a member of our Club, you will be provided member listings and our brochure, the "Spur II Mitteilungen".

Unattached to industry and commerce, we are not an appendage to anyone. We like to operate sociably and uninfluenced with all parties. We understand our position as an interpreter between the customer needs and the manufacturers policies.

Our brochure "Spur II Mitteilungen" is brought to you 3 times a  year.  It is for you, the membership, to present your activities or to ask for help and advice on railroad-related subjects. There are always plenty of tips and tricks and you will be informed about meetings and other important dates.  Do you want to sell something, or are you looking for a special part? We will print your ad free of charge. If you are not used to writing articles, we will assist you. Manufactures are able to add an insert for a minimum of cost. A Membership costs EUR 40.00 per year. This includes the "Spur II Mitteilungen" free of charge and a current member list. Special low rates for members under 18 years.

Be a active part of our club, and enjoy together with us our fantastic hobby, model railroads Modelling in "Spur II" (G-scale) offers room for many diverse railroad interests. Our model railroad group focuses on three main topics:

• II - Standard gauge 1435 mm - 64 mm gauge
• IIm - Narrow gauge 1000 mm - 45 mm gauge
• IIe - Narrow gauge 760-750 mm - 32 mm gauge
• IIf - Slim and Industrial gauge less then 750 mm - 30/26,7 mm gauge

In addition we have also fine scale gauges that mathematically match the proto scales. Since everything works better if done as a team effort, we organize meetings and the attendance of other club activities. Our club members bring their own layout  modules, dioramas and rolling stock in the various gauges. Subject to the occasion and the local conditions, the modules are arranged into different  layouts. Your engines and cars are always welcome for a run at one of these events.

Besides our indoor activities we are happy to see a growing number of garden  railroaders. No matter if the models are operated with electric power or with live steam, our club is open to you, so try us.

We are more than happy to answer your questions. Please send an E-Mail to "geschaeft at spur-ii.de"!
