Hi Luca,

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.

Yes I completely agree.

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.

I agree about the grey windows. Maybe black would work better for a
non-transparent colour but dark grey looks too coloured to me for a window.

Patrik Bosman's Amsterdam 3-axles-tram is very fine too.

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

I love these ones. I stole the window idea for the lower half of the middle door
in the T-3. It also inspired my Warsaw Tram. It is really not similar at all but
seeing how well he had got the angles inspired me to try for it.

(...) 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 (...) (18 years ago, 26-Jan-07, to lugnet.trains)
