Thanks.
The windscreen give me the Idea to modelize the tram. I find this vehicule
had a nice design. I used small train wheels for the cabins and the 2
connection modules. The tram is 6 de large and the fairings is applied over
the modules, this trick allow to used this small wheels. That was not easy. I
post on brickshelf the underside.
This MOC is not motorized, but I think it's possible. Next I plan to work on
the motorization, and to construct the model (after I have the necessary
bricks).
