Hy, friends of MRH. I'm an italian train modeler since 1980, pursuing the footsteps left by my father. After leaving to pursue other interests (I am a professional photographer celebrations, sports and aviation), I started in 2010 for a new modeling era (DCC, sounds and other news). Since that year I built two layouts and some diorama.
Today I show you some pictures as welcome.
Bye bye from Italy!
ANGELO

Mighty impressive!

That's some very impressive modeling, there. It's all very believable.

You've a good eye for detail!

Wow you Pennsy guys.....

Could almost...almost turn me into a prototype modeler!  That's a compliment by the way. Nice work!

Really nice all the way around. Welcome to MRH I hope you share your story with us. What got you started? Where do you get your supplies? Are there many others modeling the U.S. there? About where in Italy are you?

Many thanks!!!!!

I want to thank everyone for the compliments.
I'm a train modeler about american railroads since 1985. I have inherited the passion from my father.
I live in Milan, in the province and I purchase essentially from Model Train Stuff and Caboose Hobbies. I also bought from Dallas Model Works and Hobbylinc. Even in Italy there are some fans of American railroads, then become modelers. The most famous of all is Angelo Battistella (www.http://www.tallpine.net).
Likely that there is someone else, but I have not yet known. For now!

Thanks for the photos

Angelo, you have done some great work here.  I'm impressed with the details.  Maybe we could see a photo or two of the entire layout?

Your work looks great and I especially like the clutter in the second photo. Thanks for sharing.
