Where do I find RTR LRV models

[BVM]

After a house move I now have a much smaller space and am giving up OO modelling after 50 years.

 

My most likely next step is N scale continental railway modelling but having been involved with life size LRV/LRT systems in my former career I thought I would just try and find out whether there is a viable selection of LRV's in N scale.

 

I would be grateful for a list of manufacturers of such models so I can decide whether this would be of interest to me.

 

Internet searches seem to be dominated by KATO and Japanese models - nice as they are I am not sure that is my scene.

In N the Kato and Tomytec ranges are the biggest and several are good for European prototypes.

Tomytec need the chassis buying separately but it takes about a minute to fit.

Here's my effort using the Kato system but there's also the Tomix wide tram track range available from places like plazajapan

Thank you for the replies.

 

I think I will just stick with the railway option and perhaps add a small tramway feeder to the station if I have room.

If you are still interested, Lemke are releasing their model of the Duwag M6 sometime this month (or so I am told!) I saw a prototype at the Stuttgart show and it looked very nice! Here's a link, other liveries are also going to be available and, sometime next year, they are releasing a DCC version with sound fitted
