Register nowRivarossi is an Italian model railway manufacturer with a tradition going back to 1945. The brand is today part of the Hornby Group and is based in the United Kingdom, but continues to produce models with an international flair. The range comprises 1.666 H0 models.
Rivarossi focuses on international prototypes — especially Italian locomotives and coaches of the FS (Ferrovie dello Stato), but French, American and German models are also part of the programme. Rivarossi was one of the pioneers of model railroading and significantly influenced the model railway scene in Europe and the USA in the 1960s and 1970s.
Today Rivarossi offers a mix of re-releases of classic models and completely new designs. The models stand out for good detailing and solid running behaviour and are particularly valued by collectors of international railway rolling stock.
Rivarossi is part of the Hornby Group and offers models in the direct-current (DC) system. The brand is particularly interesting for modellers drawn to international prototypes — Italian FS locomotives, French and American models form the focus.
Many Rivarossi models are available as re-releases of classic designs, which are highly sought after by collectors. At the same time, completely new models with contemporary detailing appear regularly. The models feature NEM interfaces and are DCC-capable.
Anyone planning a model railway layout with Italian or international flair will find models at Rivarossi that are rarely offered by other European manufacturers. FS electric locomotives, Italian passenger coaches and historic steam locomotives expand any model railway collection with exotic prototypes.
