RMweb Premium PhilJ W Posted November 7, 2013 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 7, 2013 Looks good, where did this tram work and what type is it, if anyone knows ? Have you got a picture? Rodin makes a kit of a Russian tram in 1/72 scale. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigermoth Posted November 7, 2013 Author Share Posted November 7, 2013 No, but if you post the title into Google there's a lot of photos and description. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium PhilJ W Posted November 7, 2013 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 7, 2013 That is very like the Rodin 1/72 scale Russian tram. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alfsboy Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Trams like this were used in many European cities and will come in very handy in military dioramas .There are lots of pics of bombed out trams .I always thought it was amazing how quick the germans got their trams back running .Of course also the German offensive against Moscow came to a grinding halt at a tram stop .Imagine the whole German Army waiting for a tram and it didnt arrive .Bit like London really ,same thing would have probably happened there too .German general s consulting a time table and swearing ."Zinks ver diffrent in Berlin, eliektritsch trammenfahrtvolkskart alvays on time .".

glennofootscray Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 In Melbourne, the tram time table is just a suggestion. regards Glenn Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigermoth Posted November 7, 2013 Author Share Posted November 7, 2013 I'm looking for the type so far the closest i've found is a MAN/SSW . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hartleymartin Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 1/35 scale. 41mm for standard gauge and 30.5mm for 3'6" gauge. The next question is whether or not it can be motorised. If it isn't expensive, I can see a few 1/35 team layouts happening. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Joseph_Pestell Posted November 12, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 12, 2013 On the website, they say that the kit contains "tram supports" which turns out to mean posts for the overhead. It would be useful if they sold those separately as well as the moulded cobbles base. I think that Tigermoth has correctly identified the prototype. As now, there would have been some detail differences between operators. I may even have one of these among my collection of unmade HO tram kits. Edit: Just been on the Creative Models website. They do sell the posts and roadway as separate items: refs 35523 and 36040. Amazing range of buildings as well. Amongst the 1:72 stuff is a railway goods shed that would look fine on a 4mm UK prototype layout. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hartleymartin Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 I was using some of their plastic tram wire supports cut down in height for O scale. They are convincing enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigermoth Posted November 15, 2013 Author Share Posted November 15, 2013 Hope this helps, bottom picture is the same type but with six windows which i reckon is the normal configuration, the four window version being a modernised version, which will have some bearing if the model is built straight out of the box ?

Ohmisterporter Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 Did anyone ever build a kit and if so can it be motorized? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rue_d_etropal Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 I have one ready to build, well more to use as source of parts for a narrow gauge railcar. As kit is 1/35, it is for a non railway modelling gauge, as is also quite narrow in body, which is why I am planning to build something for narrow gaugr using it as parts. .

Nearholmer Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 Looks very interesting. Where are these stocked? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ohmisterporter Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 I found this on Amazon. Seems to be a reasonable price. I thought it not too far away from 1:32 scale for which figures, vehicles etc are available in addition to the Miniart figures also advertised. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Miniart-Tramcar-Strassenbahn-Triebwagen-Plastic/dp/B00IFUSMSY/ref=pd_bxgy_21_img_2?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=BZX03Z0XN43Y8B1DYXYW Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
