RMweb Gold Re6/6 Posted December 5, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 5, 2022 (edited) There will be many on here who followed Grahame's thread. Sadly a lot of pictures are missing after the server change. Whilst sorting through his effects, we were given his beautiful scratchbuilt Italian buildings by Grahame's daughter which inspired us to build a layout that would do them justice. The 'thinking about it' stage has begun. It will be a single track line much in line with what he had started. It will be set in the 50s and 60s using elderly electrics in the brown 'Isabella' livery and some steam. We now have a good selection of stock but just need the layout to run it all on! It'll be set in a fictitious location, yet to be decided. One consideration might be that it will be set in Liguria on the Italian Riviera. Further inspiration from this image!

10800 Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 Thanks John - that last image of course from the TV adaptation of Philip Pullman's 'His Dark Materials' trilogy, of the town Cittàgazze. Apart from Grahame's collection, I have been buying coaches (Rivarossi, ACME) so we now have quite a selection from Tipo 1928 to Tipo 1959, in either Castano/Isabella or Grigio Ardesia livery.

RMweb Gold Re6/6 Posted December 5, 2022 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted December 5, 2022 (edited) More inspiration from the wonders of the electrified F.S. from Beppe Sartori. We now have most of the locos and some of the coaches shown on here. Edited December 5, 2022 by Re6/6 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Re6/6 Posted December 5, 2022 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted December 5, 2022 Sadly no trace was found of any of this when we sorted though Grahame's effects. We do know that he had a big interest in things Württemburg. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of Grahame's locos are DCC-fitted (and some with sound) so we will be keeping the layout DCC operated. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
