19 October 2024
The popular Andeer Line is back at Pecorama on Saturday 19th October 2024!
Based on the Bernina Line in Switzerland, the Andeer line gives visitors the opportunity to see and operate a HOm scale model railway as if they were drivers on the real thing.
Using smart phones and tablets you can take a train from St Moritz to Tirano, stopping at a number of stations on the way. Watch out for the signals though! (Don’t worry full instructions will be given).
Operators will be on hand to answer any questions concerning the great hobby of model railways! (Entry is included in your Pecorama Ticket price). Come and visit us in the Gallery Lecture Theatre amidst the gardens….
