In January 2008 Toei solicited the public's input on a new tram design.  The public was offered three designs and the results were announced February 28, 2008.

 

Here it is as it was reported in Rail.Hobidas.com:

Two of these designs are now known as 8800s and 8900s. The 8800s were delivered in 2009-2010 and the 8900s in 2015-2016.  The results were:

 

#1 (8800)  642 votes 51%

#2 (not built)  288 votes 23%

#3 (8900)  333 votes 26%

Here are the designs in service on the Toei Toden Arakawa line.

I'm hoping Modemo does the 8900s, too.

 

I've noticed it usually takes 5 years for Modemo to release these cars.  Why??   :pottytrain4:  9001 delivered in 2007 appeared as NT127 in July 2012. 9002 delivered in 2009 appeared as NT138 in April 2013. The 8800s delivered in 2009-2010 were released in September and December 2015. :help:
