Street Car / Tram
I've been working on this for a while and to be honest I've struggled with scale. It started as a six-wide, got rebuilt as a seven-wide (fragile), then rebuilt again as an eight-wide (it looked enormous, but was structurally robust). Then I went back to a six-wide and added a 9v motor. I've also gone through a couple of iterations of window sizes - from 2x2's to 2x3's and back to 2x2's. But something still didn't quite look right so in the end I Bricklinked an order and built two versions so I could see them side by side and compare them.
Here's the 6-wide version. It's powered by the 9v motor.
Here's the 7-wide. It's currently unpowered and sits on a false bogie, but is easily modded to hold the 9v.
And here's a comparison shot of the two together.
So which one do you think I should send to the inventory bins? and which one should I use? Or should I scrap them both and start again?
Comments, criticism, and ridicule most welcome.
