Alcanman Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Great pic Sivio. I'll be heading to Tuscany in the summer for my annual holiday to Bella Italia and I'll be taking my camera along for some railway pics. Here's a pic of a E656 at Vipiteno in 1989.

milkman matt Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Hi Silvio. Great pictures. I have been fortunate enough to spend time in Tuscanny (Castlenuovo De Garfagnana) and have done a modest amount of travel on regional railways. Here are a couple of my photos I Have of the slightly more interesting rail vehicles I have seen in my travels. Engineers loco? Interesting that it has spoked wheels. Didn't think anyone used them anymore. Not sure what they would use this for (Bridge repair?) but, it would be reasonably easy to model I should think. Hornby flat wagon with Matchbox mixer? Spotted this just out of Florence. Unfortunately, I didn't get the chance to find out more. Maybe someone here might know have some information.

trisonic Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Just one more question Silvio. The catenary system you use looks like the kit that “TecnoModel” advertise on their website. Can you tell me what the brand name is, who makes it? I’m not in Europe.... Thanks, Pete. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAtrains Posted October 14, 2014 Author Share Posted October 14, 2014 Just one more question Silvio. The catenary system you use looks like the kit that “TecnoModel” advertise on their website. Can you tell me what the brand name is, who makes it? I’m not in Europe.... Thanks, Pete. The catenary masts are mainly from LineaModel (http://www.lineamodel.com/palificazione-linea-model-kit-1-87.html). They are all kit, many of which are highly modified to give it the desired position. The big mast over the four-track is scratch-built. Bye! Silvio Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
