Hi train and tram folks,
I havn’t finished the advertising stickers jet but I wanted to take some pics of
my first 6-wide Train MOC ever: The old Stuttgart Tram “Linie 15”
The original is narrow gage so it was a bit complicated to hide a normal 9 V
motor and normal 9 V train wheels under the yellow cabin. My main aim was to
build a good looking and realistic model, rather then a good model for playing
and driving S-curves or points. And in fact the tram only runs on straight and
curved tracks.
As in Stuttgart my tram now can carry visitors up to the entrance of the famous
televison tower.
This concept picture shows the steering mechanism. Red dots are piviot-points,
red lines are the fixed axles.
The real one could be found in Stuttgart on only one more line.
My Tram without stickers ..

Does someone have another idea for smaller front lights? The white space-dish
(2x2) seems to be a bit to large.
Regards,
Holger
