[quote user="richhotrain"]I live in Vatican City, and there are no railroads to model.[/quote] Rich - I am sorry, but I stand to correct you! Vatican City has a reasonably well developed transport network considering its size (consisting mostly of a piazza and walkways). As a state that is 1.05 kilometres (0.6 mi) long and 0.85 kilometres (0.5 mi) wide, it has a small transportation system with no airports or highways. The only aviation facility in Vatican City is the Vatican City Heliport. There is a standard gauge railway connected to Italy's network at Rome's Saint Peter's station by an 852-metre-long (932 yd) spur, 300 metres (330 yd) of which is within Vatican territory. Pope John XXIII was the first Pope to make use of this railway. Pope John Paul II rarely used it. The railway is mainly used to transport freight. <img src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/5e/Einfahrt_Zug_Bahnhof_des_Vatikan.jpg/800px-Einfahrt_Zug_Bahnhof_des_Vatikan.jpg" alt=" " /> <img src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/67/Bahnhof_Vatikan_von_au%C3%9Fen_geoeffnet.JPG/800px-Bahnhof_Vatikan_von_au%C3%9Fen_geoeffnet.JPG" alt=" " /> Train service is rendered by Trenitalia.
