Just acquired a Red Kato Portram Trolley yesterday and at first glance noticed the sagging mid section. Even though I got to test drive it at the LHS I just wasn't happy with the middle looking like it drags. Other than that this little guy rocks! Bought it anyway and employing it for the vertically challenged counter top Christmas tree arrangement this season. Need to wire up the reversing module and get a few buildings to hide the module and store the trolley. The roof is where the two trolleys articulate. Anyone find a shim for the Center Black Strut or a manual to show how disassemble this and to add dolls?

Very interesting videos about the Soviet KTM-5 tram. Most look fairly rough but they're still running. Some in Latvia, shown around 8:30 in the first video, appear to be in excellent condition. Maybe @BalticRailways has ridden this model? Also at 2:30 in the second video, Perm's idea of a joyful train (tram)!

Hi, I'm new to this forum (live in the UK). I use Tomix wide tram track on a town layout I'm building and have just invested in a pair of Tomix controllers & two TCS units to automate the double track tram looped circuits to include a couple of tram stops on each circuit. I also have 4 of the short sensor track pieces. However, the instructions are all in Japanese and I'm having a devil of a job sorting out how to do the wiring to achieve this. Anyone got any tips or links that might help me?

Fukui and Echizen through operations started!
Kabutoni posted a topic in Japan Rail: News & General Discussion
As of this month, the Fukui and Echizen railways have through running operations on the Echizen Mikuni Arawa line from Tawaramachi to Wakazuka Haribara. This is done with modern low-floor trams. Our JNS member Ayakoi has made a front view video already! The whole ride is a wonderful mixture of inner city street running to an interurban experience through the rice fields. There is about one run per hour in each direction, but these are express services all the way from Echizen Takefu to Wakazuka Haribara: http://www.echizen-tetudo.co.jp/railway/transfer_fukutetsu.html It's quite an impressive and lengthy service for low-floor train operations, with mixed high-floor operations. IIRC, the whole Fukui Railway network has been transformed to low-floor operations, starting in 2006, while still having high-floor rolling stock in operation. Here a promotional flyer with timetable and statistical explanation for the through operations: http://www.echizen-tetudo.co.jp/railway/image/timetable_160327.pdf -

N Gauge Model of the Fukai Railroad Fukuram F1000
Concept Model Trains posted a topic in Trams, LRV's & Buses
As I was looking for videos of the Fukai Fukuram F1000, I came across the details of a N gauge version of this 3 section LRV. A modified Tomytec TM-LRT01 was used for the model. There is also some photos of a small layout that was made of the Fukai Railway. It would be great if either Kato or Tomix decide to create a version of the tram for commercial release. http://blog.livedoor.jp/hirokazuasa/archives/52093874.html http://blog.livedoor.jp/hirokazuasa/archives/52110829.html http://blog.livedoor.jp/hirokazuasa/archives/52110836.html -
