Martin_R Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 Apologies if this has been posted elsewhere but I have just noticed on the Bachmann website under 'accessories' there are four '00' 4 wheel trams listed : CE00607 Tram Car Blue CE00607 Tram Car Red CE00607 Tram 69 Birkenhead Corporation Tramways CE00607 Tram 70 Birkenhead Corporation Tramways Checking these out I found some pics of the Birkenhead ones on a certain Liverpool shops website - very, very nice! I feel a tram line extension coming on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HSB Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 These are basically their Hong Kong trams. The subject was discussed in the tramway section a few weeks ago. HSB Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JZ Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 Had a look at these in East Somerset Models last week. Quite fancy a tram terminus outside Tolmouth station. Does anyone know what radius these can get around ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold tetsudofan Posted June 9, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 9, 2012 Maybe best to ask this question in the Tramways & Tramway Modelling section of the forum - there's already a thread going on these trams. Keith Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevelewis Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 Had a look at these in East Somerset Models last week. Quite fancy a tram terminus outside Tolmouth station. Does anyone know what radius these can get around ? You will more than likely get these to negotiate down to 6" Radius curves!! Sound impossible but you could be surprised. Incidentally these trams have been available in different guises ( Colours!)for quite some time under Bachmann's Chinese range listings Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PLD Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 The Hong Kong cars have a relatively long wheelbase for a 4 wheel tram (8'6"), but the model will still comfortably go round curves down to around 4.5 - 5 inch radius. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
