Sérgio Posted November 26, 2012 (edited) Hello my friends? how are you? This is may next project (virtual yet) its just inspired by the portuguese articulated trams in lisbon beside the roof and the center all train its SNOT with close couple system (not tested yet) hope you like :) More pics on this folder http://www.brickshel...ry.cgi?f=516971 Edited November 26, 2012 by Sérgio Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Duq Posted November 26, 2012 You've got the shape spot on! Now let's see if it runs when you actually build it... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hrw-Amen Posted November 26, 2012 Yes those slopes are just like the real thing, it would be good to see the real thing running. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Player Nº1 Posted November 26, 2012 (edited) I see you used the image that I rendered. Gotta see if I do the same to the other side for you to add here. Edited November 26, 2012 by The Player Nº1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Dutch Guy Posted November 27, 2012 Great effort there. Would also love to see it realy build and see it it runs on rails. The SNOT is very well done. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alasdair Ryan Posted November 27, 2012 You made a good job on the appearance of it. However I am doubtful of the articulation of the middle because there is not enough room in the middle between the two sections. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lightningtiger Posted November 27, 2012 Excellent design, but now you must try and brick build it 'Sergio'......anyway we have similar trams on the city to Glenelg line here in Adelaide. Brick On ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Electricsteam Posted November 27, 2012 I like the use of the mini flanged wheels they are very useful in small steam engines and I believe they are under used in locomotives. Also is the center part of the train is there where the PF motor and battery box? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
twenty6twelve Posted November 27, 2012 That's some fantastic SNOT work as per usual, Sérgio. Having seen your previous MOCs I don't doubt this won't look just as gorgeous built in reality. I can't wait to see it constructed. Admittedly, yellow is not a favorite color of mine, but it looks great on this little tram! The pantograph is unique, too - all in all, great work. Good luck with your close coupling system! Also is the center part of the train is there where the PF motor and battery box? If you look closely, you can spot that he's got larger diameter wheels in the center, which I can only assume are small spoked RC train wheels, so I believe you're right..

monsinjor Posted November 27, 2012 Nice design, I like it. This snot technique fits very well, looks like the real tram. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sérgio Posted November 27, 2012 Thank you all :) Idea is to get together with elastic, split up in the corners and on the straights join again. Supposedly it is to walk with a 9V motor for me remains the most reliable Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Toastie Posted November 27, 2012 However I am doubtful of the articulation of the middle because there is not enough room in the middle between the two sections. Hehe, I'd challenge this - there is quite some space in the middle section - and there were some nice posts about how to realize close coupling in this forum ... - Sergio will make it happen, I'm sure.
