HI,

I am Adrian from Turin in Italy.  After 20 years in the UK I came to Italy and have been here for another 20.

As on another post I built a very minimal cost 5" line in the UK.  Now I am wihout a fixed line here as another house move is on the horizon.

5" is used a fair bit here and there are some very nice private tracks.  We have get togethers now and again.  The next one is over near Venice where Alberto is building a Big Boy....

His web site has gone off line at the moment but it's a superb set up.

Most of my stock is packed away including a few 5" locos.  One day I will get time to unpack and use it

Its a very nice looking railway. I particually like the way he has stuck with scale buildings.
