References

I used many references to build the layout, modify the rolling stock, gather information on historic FS models, and more. In this section, I've listed all the main sources of information, divided into categories and arranged in order of appearance—that is, I've listed the ones I first encountered.

This section isn't intended as an advertisement; I simply want to acknowledge the sources of information and materials that helped me complete this project thanks to their passion and professionalism.
