Fulgurex

Fulgurex is a manufacturer of Brass models of railway rolling stock.

Fulgurex was created in 1947 as a specialized model train shop located in Lausanne, Switzerland by Count Antonio Giansanti Coluzzi, a tin plate train collector and the official distributor of the VB brand in Switzerland.

In 1962, in collaboration with Tenshodo, Fulgurex started to produce its own brass models.

In the 1970s Fulgurex produced 1/12 scale models of the Mercedes-Benz SSKL and Bentley 8 Litre.

[citation needed] A prototype of a Bugatti Type 59 was created but was never put into production because of the high price, which at the time was about US$895 ($5,068 in 2023 dollars).
