Tonytramman Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 (edited) 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 .. Edited October 18, 2020 by disturbman 1 1 Link to post
Tonytramman Posted April 30, 2020 Author Share Posted April 30, 2020 ..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 Link to post
Tonytramman Posted April 30, 2020 Author Share Posted April 30, 2020 I should have said that this early part is retrospective progression, so bare with it... Link to post
Tonytramman Posted April 30, 2020 Author Share Posted April 30, 2020 ..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 Link to post
Cat Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 Real trams have the controls on the inside too. : 3 Link to post
Tonytramman Posted April 30, 2020 Author Share Posted April 30, 2020 indeed they do, and to be honest I quite like them incorporated into the layout, but more on that later ... Link to post

Tonytramman Posted May 4, 2020 Author Share Posted May 4, 2020 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, 2020 Author Share Posted June 12, 2020 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..

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, 2020 by bill937ca 1 Link to post
