The train maker Elettren is still in business so this is the history of Elettren “the first 75 years”; may many productive years follow. The book has a focus on the products made by Elettren through the years and also gives some sparse information on the history of the company of the Ravasini family. The first chapter describes the interesting facts in the history of the company. The chapters that follow discuss the products that Elettren has made. I have used through this book the arbitrary classification of Tinplate, CIWL/PLM and Finescale products.
To see some Elettren items moving around videos are available on the internet. Here is a page on my website where you can find some of these videos made by me with Elettren trains running in the garden: http://sncf231e.nl/elettren-trains/
