Buenos Aires tram with fender (based on an OCCRE kit)

Dear All,

Occre has been producing a tram from Buenos Aires. About 2.000 trams ran in this city (This large number is about correct) have been produced by American, Elglish and Belgian companies.

The Occre model was operated by the Lacroze company has enclosed platforms and closed windows.

I have modified the kit in order to replicate the motor car 1055 from the Anglo-Argentina company.
The body with open platforms, fender and semi-convertible windows was made in Belgium. The truck was a Bril 21e

Here are pictures, including some historical research to get the right colours, numbers, type of windows, etc

See for history and process: https://www.tramania.net/albumModeleBuenosAires/index.html

The controllers are from HKW trams, the curtains from a piece of cloth found on eBay (with the right colours end size, ...)
The front of the car, the fender and decorative brackets for the platform roof are made of etched brass.
