In this video, Claudio Pesolillo from Purasca in Ticino shows and explains to me a few details of his first hand-made model of his new gauge 1 locomotive model of the Swiss crocodile Be 6/8 II or Ce 6/8 II in a scale of 1to32. The model is to be produced in 15 different variants according to operating conditions from 1919 to the turn of the millennium. The locomotives, which are hand-made from brass, are to be delivered at the end of 2025. The video then briefly shows three models in gauge 0m and some accessories as well as the gauge 1 locomotive A 3/5-700. Then Claudio Pesolillo shows and explains how his transport box, which is included with all locomotives, works, using the example of the already sold-out SBB steam locomotive Eb 3/5 "Habersack". Finally, he also shows me a few details on the SBB covered freight car K3.
The video interview was recorded on June 29, 2024 at the Gauge 1 trade fair in the Ampflwang locomotive park of the ÖGEG (Austrian Society for Railway History).
The video consists of the following sections, which can be accessed directly with the mouse and can also be selected in the timeline:

After I am repeatedly asked in video comments about the prices of the new products I show - the price for the crocodile Be 6/8 II or Ce 6/8 II is not yet fixed.

Utterly astounding craftsmanship in every respect! The man is a true genius. Each piece is a true work of art that leaves one breathless with admiration.

Incredible models.

[@fotoaichinger8126]

Respekt!

[@jandoerlidoe3412]

The workmanship on these models is absolutely stunning and superlative.... how many hours wend into these ? not only the locomotives & wagon, but likewise the accessory's like that dining table, the bikes.. the harmonica's for wagon connection.
And last but not least that superbly crafted wooden box for that tender locomotive....
Imagine a diorama featuring these models.......

Auf seinen Website war mal ein Italienischer E 428 zu sehen in Spur 1. Ein Wunschmodell von mir.Sofort verkauft!😀👍

[@PeterPernsteiner]

Ich habe mal kurz nachgefragt. Die E 428 war kein Spur 1-Modell, sondern eines in Spur 0 und war dann wohl tatsächlich sehr schnell verkauft.

[@Bubensteyn]

Das sind technische Leckerbissen!

[@PeterPernsteiner]

Ja, diese Modelle haben mich in Ampflwang auf Anhieb fasziniert

[@dermusikhorerausleidenscha7632]

Die Modelle im 0m stammen alle von der Firma Ferro Suisse die von Persillo übernommen wurde.

[@PeterPernsteiner]

0m hätte aber den Themenrahmen des Spur 1-Interviews ein wenig gesprengt, deshalb habe ich die in der Vitrine ausgestellten 0m-Modelle nur mal kurz gestreift. Ich finde es aber schön, dass das Fortbestehen der Marke und Modelle von Ferro Suisse dank Claudio Pesolillo möglich wurde/wird!
