Thanks for the compliments too :-)
I know the Manchester tram. It is a different version of Turin ML 7000. The TPR
5000 has a very close design with the difference that it is partial low flor.
The modern trams are most similar each others, but I like some of them, for
istance the ULF from Vienna or the GT6N from Munich, Berlin (and many other
towns in Germany).
About the GT6N, I've seen you made a good model but the nose can be better done:
it is too much flat because the real tram is more curved.
The perfect way to do it is to take inspiration from that picture:

Those curved 2x2 slopes are ideal in order to make the nose lower part of the
GT6N. I would like to make a my own model of the GT6N, with the Munich MVG
livery, but 8-wide.
About other trams found into Brickshelf. The Combino from MALUG
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=202031 is a good model but I
don't like the dark gray bricks insead the windows (a good effect, but I don't
love it very much) and the fact that it can run only on straight rails.
Patrik Bosman's Amsterdam 3-axles-tram is very fine too.

I like the way he reproduced the little windows on the doors.
Bye!
