Model Railroading, boats and oil painting,
AWESOME BUILD and a great break down of the construction,excellent!!!
There are a few, even a couple of Tram threads to feast your eyes on. This next one has been in the go for a while now.Now that is what I call inspiration, do we have many tramway modellers on here?

That's a nice looking car, I am pondering which one to get first.Love how you wired up the tram for light! I had this kit for years, started it and then left it in a box. However during the first lockdown I searched it out and completed it using a motorised spud (not a potato) so it would move. I didn't put the couplings on to avoid foul ups when running it on my layout... However I did add some passengers and a motorman / driver or whatever the equivalent is in Spanish.View attachment 280748View attachment 280747
The passenger figures were a mixture of LGB, Preiser and cheap ones from eBay. The driver is actually from a Bachmann model 22190 set of two figures; originally he was pushing a truck!That's a nice looking car, I am pondering which one to get first.
Where did you get the figures from?
Out of interest, what were you worried about the couplings fouling?
Does the kit come with any paint if not what did you use to paint/stain the model?

Thanks, help advice.The passenger figures were a mixture of LGB, Preiser and cheap ones from eBay. The driver is actually from a Bachmann model 22190 set of two figures; originally he was pushing a truck!
The couplings issue was only because I have tight radius curves on the layout and as they poke out and down I wasn't sure if I was going to have issues. I may add them in the future.
The kit does not come with any paint or stain. The wood you see is real wood strips that are provided as part of the kit and which you glue in place. I used a clear varnish afterwards just to seal them and bring out the wood colour some more. The orange ends come with the kit printed on paper which you cut out and stick in place.
