I was very much tempted by these tram kits when I had a garden railway at my previous house. No railway here now but I'll be following along with great interest.

Some of you may have noticed that I have removed one of my pics from Post #1. For some reason, this was causing me problems with editing. Chris

I've arrived at the end of this tram build so I attach the last few pics. Apologies for some of them being out of chronological order but I think you'll get the idea of what I've been doing.![](http://www.bpgrp.org/images/goddo/St-33.jpg) ![](http://www.bpgrp.org/images/goddo/St-34.jpg) Quite a few changes from "instructions" with the suggested methods and materials. The Trolley in the pic below bears no relation to the suggested one. It looked massive against the model so a bit of tinkering was done.![](http://www.bpgrp.org/images/goddo/St-36.jpg) ![](http://www.bpgrp.org/images/goddo/St-37.jpg) ![](http://www.bpgrp.org/images/goddo/St-38.jpg) ![](http://www.bpgrp.org/images/goddo/St-39.jpg) ![](http://www.bpgrp.org/images/goddo/St-40.jpg) ![](http://www.bpgrp.org/images/goddo/St-41.jpg) ![](http://www.bpgrp.org/images/goddo/St-42.jpg) ![](http://www.bpgrp.org/images/goddo/St-43.jpg) ![](http://www.bpgrp.org/images/goddo/St-44.jpg) ![](http://www.bpgrp.org/images/goddo/St-45.jpg)

Does this kit include a display base. One came with the London L C C 106 which I built a while ago. Must say I like the OcCre Kits. Their customer service is excellent. If you lose/break and parts they will replace at no cost.

As you say one comes with the London Tram but I haven't bothered to use it and have them displayed on "unused" bookshelves. I agree about Occre customer services as they are excellent and respond almost immediately. My one big gripe is the instructions/diagrams are not entirely in synch with one another and a bit of brain scratching is required but that's part of the fun of building these things. It would be boring if A fitted B as well as C fitting D every time would it not?
As I mentioned elsewhere, I now have the Lisbon Tram kit in my stash but I am defecting back to period ships for a while, so it will have to wait.
Thanks for all the kind comments from everyone. See you over in the ships section of the forum very soon.
Stay safe and happy modelling. Chris
