The great inauguration of the Extended Passenger Service in presence of all authorities.

In this parody video I am paying homage to the Fantozzi films, that represent a fierce caricature of Italian society and authorities. In particular the first three films, based on the books by Paolo Villaggio, the actor who played the role of Ragionier Fantozzi Ugo.

Your appreciation is much appreciated the Director General Commendator Cavaliere di Gran Croce Lup. Man. Figl. Di Put. Generale Pierfrancesco Guidobaldo. He is ready to come to Ireland to set up local production of the aforementioned DMUs in Irish broad gauge.

🤩If it was in my power, I would give you at once the rank of Cavaliere di Gran Croce - plus a beer, as bonus. As I don't have the authority to do such thing, I wholeheartedly thank you for this video, as I also love the "Fantocci" movies, may God bless the soul of mr. Villaggio. The inauguration day of the little great automotrice is a brilliant idea, and I just have a warm smile remembering the Italy's no.1 ragioniere's adventures with some trains or inaugurations. Once I said to my girlfriend that I'm her Ugo and she's my Pina, she didn't laugh, but told me I'm an idiot - she might be right, dunno, but I'm OK and safe, she's the one being with an idiot, not me! 😁😂 Thank you for the video, Patrick, have a super Sunday!

@@Cristake1974 I took inspiration from the second Fantozzi film, when they launch the ship. I'm making a post with the film right now.

Hi, Patrick, I like your track plan, It looks like you have a lot of options for running and shunting.

@@jetmec Hello, at the moment I have two circuits: the external mainline with the station sidings and the internal sidings that double up as a turning Y. I'm planning to add a modular outer line and to isolate the different station platforms. But I want to keep it as simple as possible.
