Captain Green Hair Posted June 14, 2009 Hey i thought i show you this little tram i've been working on now for some time. It is a 1940's Amsterdam blue tram, this is the line 2 to the red light district hehe. I'm not completely statisfied yet and i need to make some decals, but here she is: It rides on 9V and has built in lights, there is no interior. Enjoy and as always, C&C is welcome!

mikey Posted June 14, 2009 A great MOC, the bowed out sides are excellent, the only thing I do not like is the front windscreen, but you probably did not have much choice to get that size. To be honest Amsterdam trams have always been a sore subject for me, to many near death expierences! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rijkvv Posted June 14, 2009 This looks great! I like the design of the pantograph and how you use that stretcher holder. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alex12 Posted June 14, 2009 It looks fantastic. Lego should do a tram for their new train range. Maybe you should design it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BillytheKid Posted June 14, 2009 Is this one for sale? Good work . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
legotrainfan Posted June 14, 2009 You built a very nice tram with some nice details like the signal horn on its roof! Are the pantographs of Amsterdam's trams really so long? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BlueBard Posted June 14, 2009 Great and fully-detailed creation, Cpt. Green Hair I really like the roof section, I look forward for the model with decals Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Captain Green Hair Posted June 14, 2009 Thaks guys! A great MOC, the bowed out sides are excellent, the only thing I do not like is the front windscreen, but you probably did not have much choice to get that size. To be honest Amsterdam trams have always been a sore subject for me, to many near death expierences! I agree on the front windscreen, but it was hard to make this size and keep it smoorh with the curved front. So after a few hours fiddling, i think this is the best solution for now. Is this one for sale? Good work . No, but it should be easy to copy i think? You built a very nice tram with some nice details like the signal horn on its roof! Are the pantographs of Amsterdam's trams really so long? They were in that day and age, nowadays they are a bit lower. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ralph_S Posted June 14, 2009 It looks a bit too short, but the length the model can have is obviously limited by the wheelbase of the train motor you've used, so there's no easy way of doing anything about that. Overall it's very nice. Nice shape, great detail and it's a great subject for a MOC. Cheers, Ralph Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bonaparte Posted June 14, 2009 It's got a great shape Captain! I like the very smooth way it becomes wider in the middle, nice technique. Would you happen to have a real picture on which you based this MOC? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Teddy Posted June 14, 2009 This is a great tram. Was this the one you were after? Kind regards, Teddy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Green Hair Posted June 14, 2009 Thanks guys! She's not final yet Ralph, i agree that it might look a little shoirt, but IRL it's not bad actually. Í'll propably update it somewhere in the future. This is a great tram. Was this the one you were after? Kind regards, Teddy Yes that is the one! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Captain Green Hair Posted June 16, 2009 Thanks guys! Really like your design! Can the doors be opened also? No they can not, but maybe with future changes i'll change that. I just went for looks on this one for now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Captain Green Hair Posted June 21, 2009 Would you like a medium blue one? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wout Posted June 21, 2009 Nice moc. With 1940 in the title, I almost immediately thought of some german soldiers who stopped the tram to get the driver out to confiscate it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
