Simon Moore Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Hi all I've just been watching some great videos on YouTube of Domodossola station which is situated on the Italian border. The station is a main artery for freight into Europe & this got me wondering. As almost all topics or railway modeling is covered one way or the other surely there are some good italian llayouts out there. Are there any links or websites so I can have a nosey ?? Cheers Simon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alcanman Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Simon. Have a look at this thread here on RMWeb, this Italian layout is absolutely superb. I have an interest in FS/Trenitalia and I posted a few pics on the thread. http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/8335-the-italian-way/ Mal Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodshaw Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 There's one called Pusteria in the June Continental Modeller. There's also one called Tre Ponti which I believe is doing the exhibition rounds, but I don't have a web link for either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allegheny1600 Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 There is the Italian railway society too, http://www.italianrailways.co.uk/ It is a fascinating system! Cheers, John E. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karhedron Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 My family comes from Campania in Italy and the railway line snaking from Naples down the meditteranean coast is lovely and always reminds me of summer holidays. The line was doubled and electrified in the late 50s but was also realigned in some places so that you can see the remains of the old 19th century bridges and viaducts next to their 20th century replacements.A lovely setting to watch trains go by along the narrow strip between the mountains and the sea.

mickey9 Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 If you want some FS modelling inspiration (at least for the pictures,it's in Italian) go to www.scalatt.it (ignore the TT unless you're into that) it also covers HO.Click on 'Plastici' (note:plastico/plastici is/are the Italian for layout/s) select the HO section,click on each layout in the list and drool over the pictures.Highly recommended!
