FIMF Federazione Italiana Modellisti Ferroviari (Italian railway modellers federation)
TIRRENO Group is situated in Italy , in CARRARA.
Our seat is in a Traffic Command Station, not more in usage, allowed us by Italian railways. We have executed remarkable works of restructuralization on it.
In the assemblies hall there is a large window from which you can admire the below railway.
We have a wide space for our plastics. So we have decided to build a great social plastic worthy to be visited.
Decision to reproduce faithfully the close railway "Pontremolese" has so arrived natural, almost a challenge to capacity of group and a homage at a rail line with a story and importance worthy of note.
