    The model trams at the 1.30. Mark are exquisite.

    A few years ago I built a 17x2 manx layout of the manx electric railway in n gauge including DCT horse tram 18 that worked

    I just wish I had the expertise to do model layouts, I tried with an N gauge layout but failed to get the scale right.....I leave it to the experts. Cheers, Alan.

    @1:15, that's a close call. You wouldn't want to be stepping outside at that moment. 😂 @2:19, indeed it is. I have a Corgi Paisley District Tramways model with Renfrew Ferry on the destination board.

    From New Orleans: recognised the two Perley-Thomas cars of the St. Charles Ave. streetcar line represented on one of the layouts.

    People who make model train sets seriously need to buy a book on basic electronics and read it from front to back. That investment in time will save you thousands of dollars and have a power distribution system that works great.

    I studied low voltage electronics but I must confess power electricity is a whole different ball game, best left to professional electricians....electric is faster than anyone I know

    Why is it that all the trams Go at break neck speed 😂Is it because if they Go slow they will stall.

    @@mixwizard2310 I'm reminded of my father and his flying airplane models. He never put a pilot figure in the cockpit and they sure looked odd without one, especially in an open biplane. One thing my N scale layout has is a big population- having people doing various things makes it a lot more realistic. Drinking litre glasses of beer in the beer gardens (there are four) for example- well it is a model of Germany after all. I may have been to the 2018 Tram show in Manchester, maybe the year before but anyway it's a great show.

    I had the same impression, how they stay on the track is a wonder but they do , so the quality of the construction must be good...Thanks, Alan.
