I do plan to make Konstal 105 Na, but maybe in a few months (I have some other trams that I will be making first, and I want to get the textures perfect, so I will practice on others first). If you could make the pantograph for 105 Na, it would be excellent.
I will try to unconvert the model and use it. Thank you! If I cannot achieve this, I will use a temporary pantograph which I have made (it isn't very good) and contact you so I can incorporate it when you are back in Moscow.
Thank you so much!
Kind regards,
PEWEX
so, if you can unconvert my model from CSL you are welcome to use it right now. If no, I will send you the model when I'm back.
1. Konstal cars had another kind of pantograph (more like Soviet KTM cars have), but if this ok, I will send you my model.
2. I am in Bulgaria right now, so I could send you the model when I back in Moscow. Please contact me after 6 of may.
also I can make you an original Konstal type pantograph for free if you promise to make Kontal 105Na car for Cities after N one =)
I am modelling a Polish tram (Konstal N), but I can't model the pantograph. Would you mind sharing your model so I could use it in my model? Thanks in advance.
Kind regards,
PEWEX
As for East Europe - some contries, like Poland and Czechia, expands and modernize their tramlines. Some - like Baltic states and Belarus - stagnating or slowely developing. Before the crysis our goverment had thrown us and Ukraine, there were more development on tram networks. Now it is degradating again. While in Moscow and S-Peterburg there are some good events like new trams, new lines and great plans, most other cities are closing lines, trying to survive or do nothing and die. Some monthes ago tram network in Dzerzhink city (known as one of the most poluted places on the planet) was closed. People there ralling to make local authorities to re-open it, but soon without any effects.
In Australia as mentioned earlier, every city had tram networks, and every city tore up their entire networks for buses, except for Melbourne and Adelaide, Adelaide had a large network, they tore most of it up and kept 1 line running, which is still running today and expanding. Sydney is currently expanding their tram network re-introduced in the 90s, to cover a much larger area at a great cost (they should have retained it) and Melbourne, well was one of the only cities in the western world aside from San Francisco, that bucked the trend and decided to retain its tram lines.

There are dozens of serial tram models, built in the "East Europe": Tatra, UKVZ (KTM), PTMZ, RVR, Konstal, Timis and dozens of unique models.
Yep Soviet Union had the similar problems. In the second part of XX century when most of USA's tram systems collapsed, France and Spain closed their lines at all, Sweden and West Germany - particaly, USSR become the largest tram operator in the World (86 in Russia, 31 in Ukraine, 5 in Cremea, 4 in Baltic States, 5 in Mid Asia State, 4 in Belarus - near 150 tram systems). From 1960 till 2000 the largest tram system of the world was S-Peterburg tramway.
But yes each continent had their own trams, technology and history, varied from the next.
I know you obviously like Alstom trams, as mentioned previously, if any interest, here are some Alstom trams operating in Melbourne:

As I know there are only three countries outside Europe, Post Soviet zone and North America, who has several large working tram systems in several cities: Australia, Japan and Egypt. Also there is North Korea, where thera two tram cities - both systems built in 90s, China (2-3 rudimental lines + Hong Kong), new-built tramlines in arab stetes and Ethiopia. And Buenos Aires. That's all.
I live in Europe and have visited many contries in this region, been in museums, red tonns of articles, books etc. But people here (not only in Russia - in Germany also) don't know a lot about Australia and USA. And vice versa.

This is in Memphis, Tennessee : http://jimbaux.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/040574-RGB-wjj-%C2%A9-streetcar-454-Memphis-Tennessee-USA-05-09-2008.jpg
This is in San Francisco, California : http://s218.photobucket.com/user/leopard1543/media/IMG_15480a.jpg.html
They also run in Rio Vista (California) Dallas (Texas), in Minnesota, New Orleans and Iowa.
Not quite the world, but defiantly in the US
For the US, trams/streetcars/trolleys are a novelty from a time gone by, in Europe and some parts of Australia, trams have been a part of the fabric of public transport from the early days till now. Anyways all good.
Saying about taste - for me as for Eropean A-class wagon is more common than W. And this new E-class is just... boring I must say? I used to Alstom trams, or, as a substitution, PESA trams, wich are built in Poland. You know Poland is still more closer to Russia than Australia, both mentaly and geographically.
So, to say the truth - an no offense - for me all they A, W and E don't look beautyful at all. But A-class at least looks interesting.

I don't think A-class is "ugly" or smt, for me they look quite fine.
I won't make E-class couse for me they seems completasly uremarkable and uninteresting. I'd rather prefer to make PESA or Alstom modern trams, wich are operating in Russia:

Спасибо за эту трамвае от Бельгии.
Но так как там КТ4 вымирающий вид, то тогда ещё и во Львов, но не в Житомир же.
Can. Barely will.
