Through the windows it looks like you gave them interior details, too. Do the roofs come off? I guess I can check that (...) (18 years ago, 27-Jan-07, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

(...) Look at that picture of one historic tram in Turin: (URL) above color is a particular green (a light "Veronese" green), but what LEGO color should I use? Not tan, because it is too much "yellowish". White? Too much bright... the perfect color (...) (18 years ago, 26-Jan-07, to lugnet.trains)

--snip-- Hi Luca, (...) Yes I completely agree. (...) 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. (...) I love these ones. I stole the window idea (...) (18 years ago, 26-Jan-07, to lugnet.trains)

Thanks for the pics Luca! Interestingly enough this topic recently came up for discussion. I have a 1:87 scale car garage (first released November 1961) with a red door (Phil Traviss of UK also has one). Even though all catalogs of the early 1960's (...) (18 years ago, 25-Jan-07, to lugnet.trains)

Hey Tim - nice tram (as usual and real bricks no less!) but I was wondering about the spaces in between some of the parts...was that due to the fit not being right becuase of design limitations or that you just aren't used to having to press (...)
