    I could have mentioned already that we often use the nickname Piovarolo for Primolano, and Piovarolo cames from this movie and is a name that suggest that the place is very rainy. Indeed there is a reason why Primolano is so green

    and is because of the abundant rainfalls. But there's a place where this fluorishing vegetation is not welcomed at all since it spells damage, and that place is our railyard. Sadly we are not enought to battle Mother Nature alone and so we call professional to remove unwanted plants:

    More works today in Primolano. The last seats have been installed in one of the Corbellini coach saloon, that is finally complete. Furthermore works continued on the water crane. This time the swivelling part has been disassembled (not an easy job) and restored, and that keeps one step closer to install it WhatsApp Image 2025-04-19 at 19.03.08.jpeg

    All the seats are available now :) ! This is the first picture of the second saloon complete of al the seats.
