Hi Mr Paradise,Argyle Loco will soon have a 1:32 tram and trailer with live steam and electric versions available.

Battery/track power discussions have been on going since whenever, no doubt it will continue to be discussed for many years to come! Both have merits and draw backs. The main thing for track power is usually its put the loco on the track and it goes, downside is cleaning the track. Battery power usually needs modifications to expensive locos, and remembering to charge, but the track doesn't need to be cleaned as much.
Many moons ago a guy I knew in the Mill Hill and District Railway Circle of which I was a member, who built a Garden Railway using old Hornby Tin Plate Track. The last thing that one would think of using but he had lots of it available, he used to just give it an oil with a special wagon build for the purpose that dripped a small amount as it was dragged round the track by a converted Hornby (oh and yes real Hornby the Liverpool lot) Clockwork Loco. Great fun layout from the 60’s. All the stock was old Hornby converted with Cardboard to sundry Narrow Gauge vehicles as were the clockwork locomotives, needless to say he did nit run in the rain. Wish I had taken the odd picture now.
Sorry, should re-read my post before posting, stainless steel rail from Cliff Barker which he insists isn't difficult to solder feed wires too, I have tried it yet, that fun is to come.
Apparently the Argyle/Accucraft NSW steam tram is in final stages of costing with the manufacturer prior to production and some other models have taken priority so things are slowly moving forward although no ETA at the moment.
I think Argyle will contact those who have shown interest once things get underway.
Much Ta! Won't hold my breath but will keep an eye on the web site.

No timetable but If you wait long enough a tram will come along eventually.
To be totally prototypical, they'll come in twos
