I'd quite like to see the Corgi diecast trams offered ready to run - at the moment you have to dismantle them and fit power trucks instead of the moulded plastic "rollers" they come with. Cost overall works out at about £40 assuming you have to pay full list price for the tram (£20, though you can get them for less with a little searching). I refuse to believe Corgi couldn't turn out powered versions to run on 16.5mm gauge track for around £25-£30 or so - Bachmann manage to offer diesel locos for less than this! <br /> <br />Having said that, reading the trolley modelling posts has inspired me to find the Corgi Blackpool "balloon" tram I bought a few years ago and find the supplier for the motorising kits. I also found somewhere offering the grooved rails needed for proper street tracks at www.modeltrams.co.uk though they only seem to have switches and crossovers at the moment, no standard rail. They used to offer it many years ago so here's hoping they start again!
