From 25 March 2024 the historic train will be waiting for you (also) at the Swissminiatur!The Swissminiatur, the largest open-air museum of miniatures in Switzerland, is enriched with an important new piece: the historic 1923 train of the Vigezzina-Centovalli railway. The work has been inserted in a new large area of the Park complete with a railway line, bridge on the Isorno, bell tower of Intragna and two stations, those of Intragna and Verscio.
The new model was made using a combination of artisanal and technological techniques. In particular, the interior of the train was produced using 3D printing, which allowed accurate details to be obtained using a state-of-the-art method. At the same time, the Intragna bell tower was developed with the help of computer-aided design and was subsequently milled to a scale of 1:25 with the help of milling. The project will be followed up: a small scale model of the new Stadler trains will be presented next autumn at Swissminiatur, which will enter service at the end of 2024.
