Title: British trams
Post by: polo2k on September 19, 2015, 09:44:02 PM
Does such a beast exist in n gauge?
I know people used ro use a garish bogie under a typhoon body, but I'm looking for something a bit more accurate.

For total realism, just make sure your chosen mechanism can barely move itself and breaks down regularly...  ;) :P

Check out this thread (http://www.jnsforum.com/community/topic/10122-kabuto-models-details-for-your-layout/page-11) on the JNS forum (site is occasionally unresponsive at the moment); tram in question is Dutch but similar issues.

There a lots of single deck trams available but what we British modellers want is a double deck version similar to the Oxford models ones currently available.  I know some people have motorised them but it would be great to have one purposed design.   :pleasesign:
