I liked that table with the green boxes. I’ve got a green boxed Bowser trolley. Had it plated silver to resemble Atlanta’s Marta felt of train cars. One of the highlights of my NDT career is going to Narta’s spacious repair facility to do a magnet particle test.
I'm amazed that time and time again, model makers do not run their moving trams trains and cars at a scale speed. With so much detail gone into making the models, the whole illusion is spoiled by train and tram speeds which are beyond realistic. Such a pity.
This is the most unusual departure from model trains I've ever seen. But why put up a blue sky backdrop when you're going to plaster stickers all over it? Defeats the purpose.
Vielen Dank. Fahrende Fertigmodelle kann man gelegentlich auf Ausstellungen, im Internet und im Fachhandel kaufen. Standmodelle / Bausätze muß der Interessent selbst motorisieren bzw. motorisieren lassen. Das Basteln sollte ein Teil des Hobbys sein.
A really nice video showing the amazing following trams have in the UK. Do we have anything like this show or model tram clubs in the U.S. celebrating the use of new trams in cities like Phoenix or Tucson (nearby to my home)?
East Penn Traction Club, Southern California Traction Club, Central Electric Railfans' Association, and a lot more. There are a bunch of pages on Facebook for the American traction fan.
An 00-kit (resin) of the Manchester Metrolink Ansaldo T68 articulated tram is available from Mark Hughes, details: glostransporthistory.visit-gloucestershire.co.uk/Mark%20Hughes%20Models.htm
Thank you, in UK you find the 'Tramfare'. It is the journal of the Tramway and Light Railway Society (TLRS), 6 issues the year. These magazines are for members free.
I see the same old story, excellent models but completely unrealistic as no drivers, conductors or passengers. Why go to so much trouble and not complete the job?
Since a while I add figures to my models, but there are reasons for to leave tram models without these tiny persons. A reversing double ended tram would show the driver at the wrong end - not very realistic. In old models we find often bulky traction units with no space for seats or passengers. My layout at home shows only 10% of my models as runners. 90% of my trams are stored in depots or in sidings. These models filled with passengers - again, not realistic. So whatever a modeller does, it can't be perfect. Such is live...
A lot of yellow-faced civilians hanging about outside the trams too. They all look like shop mannequins. Never understood why train and tram modellers go to such detail on rolling stock and buildings but then forget to paint the humans in a way that is even remotely realistic.
Classic. They’ve been saying since the 80’s the model train hobby will die out, because there are a lot of seniors in this hobby. There is a steady stream of new “old people”.

I can't tell you how much I truly enjoy watching the videos of the tram festivals. Thanks for shooting and sharing.
My favorite part of the movie The Bourne Identity was when it showed the streetcars.
Very nicely kept trams - well done. The filming was excellent too, thank you for sharing.
Thank you for the comment
