Italian Railways, FS

[Dimitris]

Hello.

Since no one have posted a section on FS, I will do it, if it's OK with all of you.

Bari Centrale, March 2000. A very big thanx to my aunt that made those pics, when she was there.

Great photos Dimitris, my compliments to your aunt!
I have only once traveled with the Italian Railroad from Perugia to Firenze in the summer of 1986. Unfortunately I had no camera with me

I especially like the FS, if some day I decide to model another railroad than OSE most probably that would be it.

Hi Panagiotis, and many many thanx.

The first photos of March 2000, were made by my aunt.

The rest in 2002, by me, when I travelled by car from Italy to England, so I had time to make pics of some stations and rolling-stock.

I also have a video of about 30min., between my travel by train from Abano Terme - Venezia. It shows exactly everything from the sart-station to the final station. It was so nice, I felt like a locomotive-driver. I wish, I could post it here.

Yes, me too, if I would made modules in P87, these would be FS ones, as they are very pretty railways - the italian ones.

Apreciate Panagiotis and the world railways followers.

Here we are in Milano Centrale FS, the gorgeous (and ultra fascist raising aesthetic) station.

Well, Panagiotis, let's begin..let's look inside and watch tains

Quickly, some high speed services, "FrecciaRosa" (red arrow) and "Freccia Bianca" (white arrow).

Two "FrecciaRosa" and "Freccia Bianca" consists ready to depart

A "FrecciaRosa" service from Venice Sta Luzia

A "Freccia Bianca" ready to depart. You can see it's made by a power head unit and UIC cars up to 200Km/h, but all coupled permanently

A double headed "Freccia Bianca" trains, not an undeformable consist but E400 serie locomotives and UIC cars up to 200Km/h
