It's been a veeery long time since I posted anything here, but luckily I have been able to find some extra spare time in my daily schedule. I stumbled upon my trams which have been sitting in a box for many years and wanted to see if I could improve them, and create a 2.0 version of them one by one. I wanted to start with my absolute favorite - the tram from the coastal town of Dubrovnik - Croatia, to many known from the scenes in 'Game of Thrones'. Trams ran here from 1910 to 1970, and locally many people reminisce and feel a great deal of nostalgia for the tram, shops and cafes are often equipped with photos or memorabilia and it's a frequent topic however you put it, even after more than 50 years since the shutdown of the small system. This is my third version, with the upper half completely rebuilt, just like they used to do with the originals. The underframes of the motorcar and trailer are almost 15 years old by now. To add to the nostalgia, it is now permanently displayed at the local Maritime university in Dubrovnik, where many of the older professors used to ride on the real one in their youth, so it is very well looked after...

A bit further north in Zagreb I`ve decided to make every tram type that Zagreb used in its tram system so I decided to start expanding my collection with the very first electric tram in Zagreb - the Ganz T-50 from 1910. It`s standing next to the M-24 type tram I mentioned earlier in the topic. And in the end of this short report the type 101 tram also mentioned earlier in the topic but with its new - old trailer: It was quite common for kids in the early 60s to jump on the end of the tram and ride it on the outside so they didn`t have to pay for the ticket :)

Hello, hello! It has been quite a while since I was last here on the forum, but now I am back with more! :) The trams of Dubrovnik. I have never actually been to Dubrovnik but I like them so much I decided to build another one - the more the merrier!

Thanks. The locomotive isn't motorized, but it can be powered from the tender using the RC train motor.

Thanks :)

Hello, after quite a long time I would like to show you a project that I have been working on for over 2 months now. I present to you my Yugoslavian state railways steam locomotive: JŽ 22-077. This particular one used to work on a branch line near Croatia's capital Zagreb. It is made in accordance to the original blueprints of the locomotive and shaped by the many pictures of it, recently it has been restored and put in a museum so I took my inspiration from there. It features a Walschaerts valve gear that is still to be perfected. Here are the pictures: The cab is also detailed:

Yes, you're quite right, I will make a new topic for it, thank you!

The locomotive has been transferred to a new topic: Steam locomotive 22-077

That's a beautiful passenger wagon, I love the details on it! -
That's a really nice locomotive!

I really like it, the shape is captured very well and I like the fact that it has power functions. Keep up the good work!
