Oh so I feel that I must post a Tram Pic.

Tatra Service Car in Dresden December 2011 above.

They were still running Rush Hour Extras and may indeed still be doing so. I have had reports that they were doing these Extras since my visit, but that information will now be a Year or two out of date.

Nordhousen, the blue tram is an electro/diesel and runs along the Harz rails for about 10 miles between service trains on it diesel engine. The yellow one is electric only and runs about town.

So if you're not careful, you can get trollied, lose your trollies, but struggle to find a real trolley to take you home

And if you don't have your trollies, you might not get on the trolley.....

That steam outline road train is truly horrible!!
YMMV, of course..

The harbour ferries were interestingly painted too when we were there some years back. Think I was still using celluloid back then!

Those things get everywhere. The one at the NRM York is missing a trick though. If they painted it in Green with German Type Smoke Deflectors, a well known Locomotive or Express Train Name and they could clean up!

yes, you could put a strap on it, and have it round the neck of a human-being, who could help with useful information!

That's a bit of a controversial idea!
