Rodolfo Bigoni Posted September 8 Share #1 Posted September 8 Dear modeling friends, I post below pictures of the construction of a carriage of the Italian State Railways: Railway carriage Type 1946, 3rd class - brown isabella, Scale H0 (1/87) Since I have no knowledge of technical railway terms in English, I cannot describe the step-by-step work, but the pictures should be sufficient. A description in Italian can be found here . Below are pictures of the carriage in its wholety: The coach pulled by a shunting locomotive: Coming soon, some more photos with further details.
