History
[edit]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 the 1970s Fulgurex produced 1/12 scale models of the Mercedes-Benz SSKL and Bentley 8 Litre.
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).[1]
