Welcome to the modelling page of the Swiss Railways Society website. 

This page has two initial purposes:

 - Somewhere to place background material for articles in Swiss Express;

 - A place for extra information that our members would like to submit.

  Your Webmaster does not do very much in the way of railway or tramway modelling, so any content needs to be supplied by you, the membership.

Whilst our name implies an interest only in railway, many of our members have wider interests in modelling things Swiss, so the main constraint will be 'Swiss', so articles on modelling tramways, buses, boats and scenery are all welcome.

If there is any information that you think should be on this page, submit it to the Webmaster.
