Peter Kazmierczak Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Never really been into trams all that much, but I can see that maybe they have an appeal after all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Devil Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Pics show both the earlier CR4000s and the later Variobahns (2554-2559). There is/was a CR4000 in HO from Halling in the previous livery, supposedly another run was meant to be happening but not heard anything more about it http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/43352-croydon-tramlink-model-cr4000-depot/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan J Kirkman Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Sadly nothing has materialised from the chap proposing a further batch or maybe a new version. Basically to get a rerun of the Halling model the order would need to come from the LT Museum who had the first batch made as they could use the LT Logo without paying small fortune in royalties they do not seem to want to do so despite how fast the first batch sold.The then Croydon Tramlink management wanted the first batch and were involved in setting it up, however things change. Now it would also be possible to do a Tramlink version on Hallings Variobahn body shell but all those problems arise. I did actually show the Halling Variobahn to the staff on the Tramlink stand at the Festival of Model Tramways in Croydon in July but while interest was aroused that was all.

The Bigbee Line Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 If you want a layout from boxes and have little space, the Kato tram system is very tempting.

Alan J Kirkman Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Not a 2EPB though is it No but having ridden and experienced the passenger levels on both an EPB between Wimbledon and Croydon and on Tramlink I think we know which the pasengers like! They're who matters! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
