The tour is reserved for little groups of enthusiastic people and for collectors. The visit at these vintage miniature trains includes some of the first spring model trains, then steam-powered and electric trains. Furthermore there are documents and cartographies dedicated to the construction of the railways and of the rail tunnels, technological innovations which thrilled our great-grandfathers as the models testify.<\/p>\n<p>More information on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.castellodipralormo.com\">www.castellodipralormo.com<\/a>[\/vc_column_text][rev_slider_vc alias=&#8221;il-castello&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] THE CASTLE Pralormo is situated in the centre of Piedmont, in a sweet hilly area where you can benefit from a great view of the Alps, from Monviso to Monte Rosa.
