ok im old and not tech savy at all.. 

but i have managed to work out that France is like a not welcome zone..

besides that.

im booking Zurich via Innsbruck then down to Florence.

my simple question is do i just need to reserve tickets on for example OBB  for the dome car 

between Zurich and Innsbruck or buy one there too?  ( both show up as no cost )

is the eurail the ticket ? and the OBB  i have now a reservation only ?

you can see why im bald   lol  it fried off

  

Eurail is always your ticket (which you show on the Rail Planner app as a QR-code).

Sometimes you need to add reservations on top of the pass (mainly fast/high-speed trains in France, Spain, Italy).

Spain is the worst country as some reservations aren't available online but you can still make it work. France works but you need to book in advance as trains sell out. Italy is easy : frequent trains, reservations always available on the day.

Most trains have optional/no reservations. Depending on route and day (for example Saturday mornings are busy) it might be a good idea to make one.

Have a look at these 2 links :
