European Transport Museum
Ranco, Lake Maggiore - Italy

Map
The European Transport Museum was established in 1954 by Prof. Francesco Ogliari. Two hundred years of transport are displayed here including the Scharette coach of 1820, the Wurth, and the Utreth Car (favoured by Dutch families around 1828). The museum details steam trains and electric traction engines, a Fiat bus from 1912 and the underground railway, complete with stations, from the 1950s. There is also a wind powered railway from 1858, a funicular railway functioning on the principle of water counterbalance, a balloon, and a cable car.
