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.

When I designed this tram, I had to make a decision: should I model the window
frames or should I use standard windows?  Since official LEGO models sometimes
use non-transparent bricks as "windows", I thought I could do it as well.  (Tiny
Turbo sets, for example)  I used dark gray for the tinted glass because the
window-frames are black.

As for the runs-only-on-straight-rails assumption: this is not quite the case.
Currently it does not run on any kind of rails at all.  :-)  The cars are still
not coupled together.  Actually, if I set up the tram to have a motorcar at the
end it can push the train through curves and switches as well.  I want to add a
coupling solution based on what can be found here:

(...) 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)
