sorry to continue in English. I feel happy to introduce myself, even if my Italian is less that functional. My name is Martin and I am from a small town near Munich. And yes, I run the Lima collectors website.
I´ve been in contact with Giorgio from Rivarossi Memory for quite a long time, and Giorgio already introduced me a while ago! Tanto grazie, Giorgio!
Actually, I really appreciated the steps into a Lima-Tribute website and I hope, that this project will start and be successful. In the 1970´s and 80´s Lima has been the biggest (and for sure, the greatest) manufacturer of Model Railways, and a website about it is a long and tough job! Good Luck, Mauro. If I can help, please ask!
Have fun! Ah, got some pictures, some of the rarest Lima models....
