A while back in December 2024, my brother took 2023 set 60423 (Downtown Streetcar and Station) and recolored it in Studio into the classic red, white, blue, and light gray Metroliner (sets 4558 and 4547) color scheme from early days of LEGO 9V Trains. After seeing that image, I fell in love with it. So I asked him to take his model and tweak it a bit for me (as I don't use studio), with this being the result as built in real life.

(Thanks bro for all the work you put into this!)

I originally had a second middle car on this train, but the rolling resistance was so great it wouldn't move very far at all. So it was removed and scrapped.

Side view. I added a second pantograph to the model as it always bothered my me the 60423 set just has one, while the dual setup is much more common on real trams. As an additional measure based on real world practices, I spread the electric pickups out by placing them on both of the cab cars.

Inside view. The other drivers cab is not shown, but is identical to the one seen here.

Thoughts?
