[Modelling Greek railways]

My two customized Alpha Trains ADtranz/Bombardier DE2000 locomotives on my small Greek themed layout. These were excellent models from this short lived manufacturer.

[Lockdown Liguria - Italian N]

I'm new to this forum, and I agree with the new-ish poster above - what a delightful layout concept and execution. I will follow with interest. The Italian railways  are so interesting both from a scenic and rolling stock perspective and you have done your corner of Liguria justice! Someday I'd love to tackle a small section of the Adriatic coast in Abruzzo, where my wife's family hails from. Hoping that selection in N scale will improve in time as H0 is not an option.

 

Best,

John

Hi John, thanks for your kind words. as they say, life got in the way and I haven't done anything recently to the layout. Your comment I hope to work as a wake up call!

It is certainly difficult to keep the momentum going especially in these challenging times - the reward of a functioning layout is certainly worth it though!

The main line between Athens and Thessaloniki is now double tracked and electrified and sees regular service, as do the various suburban lines. A number of secondary lines are in operation with more limited service. Unfortunately the metre gauge network in the Peloponnesus has been inactive since 2011.

I recently discovered your thread Manos - excellent work! And very inspiring - I look forward to seeing more of your progress!
