Dear all,

it's been a while since I didn't write here.
But now I have a proper content to post to your attention:
I realized, together with Paolo (administrator funivie.org) and Marco Chiappa
(great italian model builder and former Ambassador) a very unique technic
reproduction of the "famous" (at least to me) "CABRIO" Stanserhorn (Luzern,
Switzerland) Ropeway.
This ropeway it's unique by itsself, having 2 floors and the upper being without
ceiling, thus offering a unique view on the luzern lake.


I realized the mechanical part + NXT software, Paolo gave me informations on
technical details, while Marco made the architecture of the stations, where the
mechanical and structural part was integrated in a second moment.

Actually the challenge was to develop the model separately in 2 different
locations: I developed the mechanical part in Bolzano, Marco made the
Architectural part + Cabins (wonderful snot work - black belt!!) in Lecco,
supervised by Paolo. Then we met in Lecco and luckily the structure integrated
without constraints in 6-8 hours work.
