This model attempts to look a little like the Siemen's Eurotram. The real Eurotram may be seen here: http://www.railway-technology.com/projects/strasbourg/index.html http://www.railway-technology.com/projects/milano/index.html With a lack of enough of the same color...I got a little crazy with the color scheme. As you can see, the real life Eurotram is bronze(?), white, and black. Bronze!? From the photo of the real-life Eurotram, can you guess if I built 6 or 8-wide? I went 8 for the ease of hinding the wheels. No doubt about it. The added interior room in 8-wide allowed for dual wide seating and hanging "grab bars". (see photos via link below) I have copied the front windsreen and credit goes to Jerome Teissier for his use in his buses: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=1722 Here's my Eurotram in LEGO colors: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=1952 This model was definitely inspired by searching the Siemen's web site for their train photos, and by Jerome Teissier's bus window screen technique. Thanks Jerome! later, James Mathis
