Tonytramman Posted April 30 thought I would start a layout thread, it's an ongoing and sometimes slow project. I must be honest I love trams, didn't know a lot about Japan's until i discovered Unitram..! ..and so begins a journey .. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post
Tonytramman Posted April 30 ..then it grew a little, added some greenery and bit of a back scene that I had kicking around. the big warehouse building is HO scale but looked OK if at the rear. got a few more buildings so ditched the green for a while.. the journey continues.. 4 Quote Share this post Link to post
Tonytramman Posted April 30 I should have said that this early part is retrospective progression, so bare with it... Quote Share this post Link to post
Tonytramman Posted April 30 ..so the controllers, I ran out of space outside the layout area and so decided they will have to be part of the layout itself, so raised them slightly. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post

Tonytramman Posted May 4 got to do some actual modeling, simple tram stop at the front of the layout, on one system i have seen that there is just blue painted road ! I think a bigger type stop would work well next th the depot, also thinking of putting a high level rail line front to back over the open area's on the right of the layout to break it up a little. plenty of inspiration about just got to build some bits, also fancy a go at the stair crossings that seem to prevail in Japanese cities...

Tonytramman Posted June 12 you could be right, to be honest i'm not 100% sure, picked it up at an exhibition a couple of years back for £10, needs a paint job and it is part of my O gauge micro layout stock which is totally inappropriate for this forum.. Quote Share this post Link to post

No, this is not inappropriate for JNS. There is a Worldwide Models forum where you could post a thread. O gauge is not common in Japan, but not completely unknown. There can be something to be learned from modeling techniques in other scales and / or gauges. https://jnsforum.com/community/forum/52-worldwide-models/ Edited June 12 by bill937ca 1 Quote Share this post Link to post
