(...) Dear Paul, 7-wide trains are not really uncommon. Lately the focus here in Lugnet may have been on 6-wides again (due to the factory sets), but 7-wides are just the perfect compromise between detailing and reliable operational behaviour. (And (...)

(...) In my personal experience, most 7-wide trains run well on layouts with standard curves. IMO 7-wide is in a nice sweet spot between 6-wide practicality and the extra detail of 8-wides. On the subject of scale, 7-wides also blend in reasonably (...) (18 years ago, 27-Jun-06, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

(...) All your trams are excellent. I must confess I ripped off one of your Turin trams for my version of the Manchester Metrolink which is the same basic design. I also second Tim David about the gaps. Great work indeed. Tim (18 years ago, 26-Jun-06, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

I really like your trams (I think I might be beconing a bit of a tram-spotter :( ) I especially like the way you aren't afraid to leave gaps in your windscreens to get the right angle/shapes, and I think it works well. Tim (18 years ago, 26-Jun-06, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
