Description
Double decker tram from 1860s
The Mekarski system was a compressed-air propulsion system for trams invented by Louis Mékarski or Louis Mékarsky in the 1870s.The system was promoted as being suitable for use in congested streets and in tunnels, as compressed air produced no smoke or flames, and thus would not disturb horses or fill the carriage with soot and sparks like a steam engine. The system was tested in Paris in 1876 and introduced to the tramways of Nantes in 1879. It seems to have been a success at Nantes with a fleet of 94 trams in 1900. The Mekarski tramcars continued in use there until 1917, when they were replaced by electric trams.

Okay, I do not see in any of the links provided by Grazeit how to build the tram tracks without a catenary
REV0  [author] 10 Jun, 2019 @ 1:53am 
no it's a tram
Taner 9 Jun, 2019 @ 7:28pm 
So without the catenary, is it only decorative?
