Bin gerade durch deine anderen Workshop Objekte gegangen. Du hast wirkliche viele Straßenbahn Assets. Hast du vielleicht die Straßenbahn aus Bremen? Ich bin mit diesem Asset voll zufrieden aber das kleine bisschen Detail wäre super!

Danke! Aber in Bremen fahren die definitiv nicht, die sind da nur ähnlich lackiert.

Vielen Dank für dieses Asset! Ich glaube die fahren auch in Bremen.

Wie geil ist dass denn :D

Das ist richtig, die normalen Kreuzungen sind dafür zu eng - bzw. strenggenommen die Art wie sich Züge in CSL allgemein verhalten. Wagen mit Gelenk in der Mitte mag es nicht so gerne.

Hannover und Braunschweig hat aber andere Wagen, die hier gibt's nur in Köln, Bonn und Manchester.

ich find die wirklich toll (in hannover und braunschweig fahren die auch rum....glaube zumindest dass es die waren bin nicht allzu oft da^^) allerdings sind die nicht wirklich für die engen tram-kurven in C:S gemacht oder? die reißen sich teilweise komplett auseinander wenn sie in eine normale kreuzungskurve gehen

Sounds like a mess! xD We're slowly fasing out the old soviet-looking M28 trams from the 60's with the new order from bombardier

An interesing story about the trams here that was made to save money was with the old M21's. They consisted only of two carriages with indoor stairs and where orderd in the 80's.
At the turn of the century, more capacity was needed as well as a more sustainable tram for wheelchairs and strollers, thus they rebuilt the M21 to become M31. What they did was to plit the two highfloor carriges the tram consisted of and build a lowfloor carridge inbetween. The new cart didn't need any more axels and so a lot of space was saved....

Well we didn't change many stops here as well actually. Such a transition doesn't happen over night, and at first, all the classic trams were still running, on the same rails. They still needed the old, low platforms. So the LRVs were built with foldable stairs at the doors that could be raised or lowered as was needed. Then in the 90's, railway manufactures became able to produce low-floor trains, which were purchsed from then on to replace the old trams and keep able to use the old platforms. So today, we have our network seperated into bundles of highfloor and lowfloor lightrail lines.

Thats really interesting! Thanks for that! I guess it would have been to much of a hastle for Gothenburg to change up all the stops as they were quite cramped and used by buses too. Nice work and keep at it!

Ah, Göteborg :-)

Well these lightrails came to be from the 70's, when some cities in Germany went to gradually turn their tram systems into something that's more like a metro, including doors without any stairs. Only, low-floor trains like the one in your picture were not yet invented back then, so the only option was to raise up the whole train and the platforms. That way, there was also more room for the bigger and more powerful engines they needed, because they were also meant to go faster than classic trams.

The K5000 came when some of the classic trams still running on the lightrail reached the end of their lives, and some more when the first generation of dedicated lightrail trains was mostly retired.

They go just about anywhere. On the streets, on their own tracks - sometimes parallel to a street, sometimes completely independent, underground, elevated...

I hope that clears things up a little :)

Huh interesting. Im only used to those in my town where they lowered the ground clerance for that sake at the expense of indoor room. https://i.ytimg.com/vi/2N8ebhaE1gU/maxresdefault.jpg

Yes. It's a lightrail ("Stadtbahn") vehicle, it combines features of a tram, a metro and a train. As far as hitting pedestrians goes, I would assume these are actually less dangerous than typical trolleys - more survival space underneath.

Is this a tram that traffics roads with pedestrians in reality?? It just feels quite dangerous with such high ground clereance if that is the case
