8404 Tram vs 7937 Platform?

[President of Brick Town]

Hi, I recently added the 2011 train station (7937) to my collection but the only train I have is Lego's first tram from 8404. When I put the tram to 7937's platform the tram was too low and the doors hit the studs. My solution is to add 1x4s plates on the bottom of the tram wheels and it worked fine. Any other solutions? I want to try something different.

Perhaps you could raise the track height one plate relative to the track height. That way the tram would still look normal on the street (an added plate, IMHO makes it too high off the road for a tram) and the doors could open at the station.

Yay! it's Jay from Upside Up Productions! My favorite brickfikmer from YouTube. Thanks, when I see the tram from mini figure view it is looking awkward. I'll try to make a BL order soon. Any other solutions?

The solutions I use are to either build lower platforms or just imagine that the doors are actually sliding doors like they would be in real life and live with the fact that minifigs have to step up at that station.

So far so good, I wouldn't go for solution #2, AussieJimbo, but I am not that kind of a MODding person.
