I came across this in the middle of one night when I couldn't get back to sleep, and couldn't find it later. I thought maybe I'd just dream it. The dream is real! Your layout is boss.
Dear Craig, a few days ago I posted this video ruclips.net/video/bFMCNQCfbuY/видео.html in which I explain the work I did on the Bachmann PCCs to allow them to travel along very tight turns, which you also like much and which make tram networks in historic centers so special and interesting. I hope this video will be useful to you. The overhead line system and the tracks are original materials of the 'Rivarossi Tramway System' produced in the 1960s. Hello, Gianluigi
Yes, they are H0 scale. The curves radius is 10 cm, about 4 inches, that is equivalent to 8,7 m in reality. The tracks are 60' production by Rivarossi 'Tramway System'. I had to work very hardly on PCC Bachmann under frames and trucks to obtain they swivel on these radii well. Thank you very much for watching my videos and for your question. Also tanks for your videos on San Francisco's PCC where I have seen my favorite Peter Witts of my city Milano...Gianluigi
I saw in some comments you mentioned you had to do some work on these to make them run on such tight curves. What did you do exactly to make this work? I'm looking to adding a trolly route to my Pittsburgh section of layout and would like some pointers.
Dear 2011 scuba, I'm sorry if I am very late in answering your kind question about the work I did on the Bachmann PCCs to allow them to go through very small radius curves, but I hadn't looked at the posts on my youtube video anymore. Now I have edited this video ruclips.net/video/bFMCNQCfbuY/видео.html which I hope will be useful to you. Ciao, Gianluigi

Dear Gleiswanderer, I bought the trolleys from EATON CUSTOM ENGINEERING (Rich Eaton-120 Ness Rd-Castle Rock, WA 98611-9398 US). The ebay site is: richeaton. Operating Trolley Poles come with Wheel or Slider and Hold down hook. I have tried many different brand trolleys, but these are definitely the best and work great. Ciao and tanks for watching.

You're right! Bachmann should have mounted operating trolleys on his PCCs ... and installed bodies lower on the trucks, as I had to do by working on the frames and interior of the bodies. Thanks for your comment and for watching. There is a video of mine on Bachmann Peter Witts on which I also installed operating trolleys instead of the unsuitable originals due to the wheel too large.

Those are extraordinary turns..gotta be what 5 degree...I'm building a septa 40th st portal with flex track atlas 25 degree crossovers and in catching he'll with ihp k car turning radious..nice job..
Yes, it is the old Milan livery (till '70) in two green tones: down 'verde vagone' and upper 'verde Veronese'.In '70 the Milan livery was orange and now returned the '20 livery: down yellow and upper creme, but only on 1500-2002 (Peter Witt) and 4600/4700. Thank for your question and watching. Gianluigi
The tilt effect is due to a little bit of interference between the body car and the trucks frame supports. This happens only on 'Rivarossi Tramway Track System' having a 10 cm radius that is in reality 8 m! The cars on a little as soon as larger corners does not tilting. Anyway thank you very much for watching and your specific question.Gianluigi
Dear Gus, I have not used flexible track, but the original modular track, switch, crossing ad trolley wire pole by 'Rivarossi Tramway System' production in the 1960s. If you are interested you can see web-site Rivarossi Memory Tramway. Thank you for watching.

Dear Chistopher,
I thank you very much for the nice comment you wrote to me and I am very pleased to be able to make you dream a little ...
Gianluigi
very cool looking little street car route and downtown... only wish there was more "sparks" but really it's so perfect.
cool video, seems so realistic of a real operation, great job..
Thank you for watching. There are other videos of my streetcar layout. I found very interesting the videos of your playlist. Ciao
Very nice video and layout... ❤
Thank you very much for compliments and for watching. (There are other videos of my streetcar layout). Ciao
Thanks for posting! Any insight on how you did the overheard work? Those hangers look very interesting! Love the tight turns!

Great streetcar video! Tight turns! What is the radius of the turns?

How much did these cost?
From wich manufakturer are the trolley-poles (can you tell me spare-part-number or order-Number?)? Thank you very much!

Wow great vidio how did you get those bachmann trolleys to turn so tight good job!!!!

Очень круто!
Спасибо за оценку и за просмотр. Gianluigi
Bachmann really should have installed current keeps in these. Plenty of room.
You're right! Bachmann should have mounted operating trolleys on his PCCs ... and installed bodies lower on the trucks, as I had to do by working on the frames and interior of the bodies.

very neat whats the radius of those curves please?

@@angelamosee8338 I'm hoping to see it!
is it the Milano livery on these cars?

Why do the cars tilt when they go around corners
The tilt effect is due to a little bit of interference between the body car and the trucks frame supports.

Ah now I see. Very cool layout. Do you intend to expand it??
I drive trains everyday and normal trains dont tilt but trolleys do
Beautiful!! Have you used flexible track to make such tight turns?

Dear Gus, in this other my video you can see how I worked on PCC cars to allow to negotiate tight curves. ruclips.net/video/bFMCNQCfbuY/видео.html
@@gianluigi6380 Thank you very much for your help. I have watched the other video and left my comment too. Greetings from Argentina!
@@gusneax8756 Thanks to you.
Route 1, only one streetcar. Route 2, with two streetcars
Um... How and why did I get here?
If you do not know it, I do not know what to tell you. Anyway thanks for watching, Ciao!
