Modular railway model of an industrial area in Arezzo in 1:87 scale

In this article I present the modular model in H0 1:87 scale that I made on commission for a client from Arezzo.

Modular railway model of an industrial area in Arezzo in 1:87 scale

The model is made of 14 modules with standard measurements:

Length 180 cm

Width 60 cm

Height of module coast 10 cm

Ground clearance 115 cm

Armament used Peco cod. 100

Digital electrical system with full manual control

The industrial area branches off from the main layout of the Arezzo model railway group via a switch that leads to the industrial junction.

The industrial connection begins with a large warehouse made of forex to store rolls of sheet metal and various semi-finished metal products.

Below are some pictures.

We see the module starting to take shape with the landscape and the tracks drowned in the asphalt.

With great calm and precision I prepare the cut wooden strips that will make up the concrete canopy wall.

We're also seeing the expansion of the warehouse for storing semi-finished metal products. It's made of Forex and features a custom "heavy haul" decal.

The large intermodal area measures approximately 8 square meters and is equipped with over 300 containers.

We reach the final section of the modules, the area with the silos for feed and grain. Rail transport has been implemented in recent years for the transportation of feed and grain.
