ntramblog: T7B5 from Oslo: A unique prototype

http://n-tram.blogspot.com/2010/09/t7b5-from-oslo-unique-prototype.html

Sunday, September 12, 2010. T7B5 from Oslo: A unique prototype. On the Japanese Modelling and Japan Rail Enthousiasts Forum. Interesting for US modellers: Michal also does a Škoda 10 T ,. Which runs in Portland, Oregon and Tacoma, Washington. If you click on kolejiště, you see some pictures of Michals very cleverly designed tram layout. The order finally went to Ansaldo/Firema, who build 32 articulated low-floor trams, the SL95 series. The T7B5 was used for a couple of years, after which it was converted...

ntramblog: January 2011

http://n-tram.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html

Sunday, January 30, 2011. One of the great things about building a layout in modules is that it allows you to change your mind during the build. I've never been the kind of guy who comes up with a plan and than spends years realizing it, so you'll guess what happened. ;). My initial plans were to build a tramway located somewhere in northern France, but when building the first module, I've gotten rather inspired by the tramway systems in the former USSR and eastern Europe ( this site. The right loop will...

Thursday, September 30, 2010. A couple of N scale tram-related products I recently learned about:. New from GHB International. Is this model of a Birney Streetcar. Does these brass N gauge tram rails. Both in a NEM (=N standard) and finescale variety. A package costs € 23,-, which is enough to make a meter of track. Not a bad price! Note: the cobble stones have to be ordered separately. Speaking of tram track, Tomix Wide Tram Track. Is slowly becoming available in online stores. Hobby Search. The easiest...

ntramblog: July 2010

http://n-tram.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html

Monday, July 26, 2010. And another new model! According to Kato's production scedule. This cute little tram should be available soon. Apparently, Kato is re-releasing their Pocket Line series, giving it a fresh new look here and there. The toy-like model could be an interesting base for kitbash projects. Unfortunately, it uses the 2-axle tram chassis, which is not know for its good performances, but then again, the retail price is just under €30,-! Thursday, July 22, 2010. Looks a lot more European to me!

ntramblog: October 2010

http://n-tram.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html

Thursday, October 28, 2010. Ah, some progress! It's been one of those good days: a day off from work and plenty of time to do some modeling. A nice day to make some progress on the road and trackwork of the downtown module :). My initial plan was to use ballasted Tomix Finetrack, but as the new Tomix Wide Tram track was released recently, I decided to go for that. I gave the rails a dark brown coat of paint. The surface will get concrete colour at a later stage. Friday, October 15, 2010. And then there's...

Monday, June 28, 2010. And they are out! Tomytec's Tetsudou Collection CENTRAM model appears to be another gem. The motorized model is available for little under €50,-. A bargain for such a great running tram. The CENTRAM is available in white, silver and black. Available on eBay through Plaza Japan. Tuesday, June 15, 2010. A peach from Tomytec. A little package from Plaza Japan. Arrived today. It contained this beautiful model of the Okayama Railway 9200 series ´Momo´ (which means peach. A couple more d...

ntramblog: Auhagen Platz (2)

http://n-tram.blogspot.com/2011/01/auhagen-platz-2.html

Friday, January 28, 2011. I've spend a great day making some good progress on the 'Plattenbau' today. Where the window frames look quite good, the original door (at the right) is a different story. It's just too course and there's no frame around it. So I used a door from a Faller kit, which was shortened in hight a little to fit. I also made steps from styrene plate because the ones provided in the kit are too high for N scale. Using those daily would be a good exercise for the residents though ;).
