   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.

I think you have done this really well and I’m gald you showed some ‘how it works’ photos of the underside

   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.

I don’t see that as being a problem, you just have the tram track seperate from the rest of the track on your layout, the same as in real life.

I have to say this is definatly one to add to my favorites. I feel you have captured the look and propertion of the real thing pretty well and although the articulated section looks a little long it blends in well and you don’t notice it. It is a good solution for this part of articulated trams, its something that is always hard. I also like the structure and detailing of the tram stop, it makes for some great ‘minifig eye’ photographs
  
Does someone have another idea for smaller front lights? The white space-dish (2x2) seems to be a bit to large.

Looking at the picture of the real tram I think the 1x1 round chrome plate mounted stud in mentioned elsewhere would actully be about the right size.

   Regards,

Holger
