www.modeltram.amsterdamsetram.nl
has been updated.
Now you meet part 2.
-A cityliner of Rotterdam (1931) on a snowy crossing.
-A night view at a deserted tram-depot we meet again the 3
streetcars of the NZH.
-An Amsterdam snowplough (1906) shows solving winterproblems
-2 interliners meeting on the Line Den Haag - Delft, a kind
of "Interurban". the PCC. Introduced for the first time in
the 1950ties.
All the models H0 (streetcar, modeltram of
trolley-tram) you find them elsewhere on that site.
The site got a better intropage.New items in the menu -like links -
will follow.
I hope You are visting us again.
[#welcome]

It's nice to see another approach to model trains, I don't know if someone in North America could duplicate such a great layout as I don't know if there are that many companies that make that great a variety of trams(streetcars) here. The site is great, just how large is this layout?? About the winter scene, we just had a blizzard last night, minus 31c. with 60kph winds, it's warmed up tonight to -28c. maybe that's the reason winter scenes are not all that popular in Canada. For the Americans -40f. is the same as-40c.

My layout is not so big as I should wish. As I explained before. I put my collection in a (nearly) historical surrounding. We call that a diorama. It has to change everytime, while my cars are of every time. Not everything however is what it seems to be. Digital tools are helping me. The goal is to show the evolution of the the electric streetcar in Europe. I'm collector and builder. You find me on exhibitions, where my cars have the real space.
Sorry for the weather overthere. Here in Holland we are forgetting how it looks.Next time perhaps streetcars between palmtrees ? ;o) I do my best.

I'm working on the streetcars between palm trees! They aren't native to Sacramento, but they were all the rage on the West Coast in the early 20th Century, so even today there are a lot of palms around here...and they tended to put them in places where the trolleys ran.
