    Tatra T-3 Moscow Tram —Timothy Gould
   (2 URLs) BS> (URL) Flickr> My version of a (URL) Tatra T-3> tram from Moscow. This one has gone through numerous iterations to finally get it to look satisfactory. Apologies for the one blue window but I figured it was a replacement after some (...) (17 years ago, 25-Jan-07, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.announce.moc, lugnet.loc.ru, FTX) !

        Re: Tatra T-3 Moscow Tram —Jonathan Lopes
     (...) More real bricks!! :o) I just love the front and rear end. You've really gotten the rounded look in there quite nicely. Is there a reason for the compression in length? I am wondering how it would look with the doorways in 4 wide rather than (...) (17 years ago, 25-Jan-07, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
    
         Re: Tatra T-3 Moscow Tram —Timothy Gould
      (...) I do own some of them. Of course it was designed in CAD first ;) (...) The compression is to stop it overhanging on curves too much but perhaps a little overdone. It's for a planned diorama so I might see how it all fits together and adjust it (...) (17 years ago, 25-Jan-07, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

        Re: Tatra T-3 Moscow Tram —Bob Parker
     (...) Hey Tim - nice tram (as usual and real bricks no less!) but I was wondering about the spaces in between some of the parts...was that due to the fit not being right becuase of design limitations or that you just aren't used to having to press (...)

         Re: Tatra T-3 Moscow Tram —Jonathan Lopes
      (...) lol. I noticed the spaces as well but couldn't think of anything clever to say about them. Jonathan (17 years ago, 25-Jan-07, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
    
         Re: Tatra T-3 Moscow Tram —Timothy Gould
     (...) Don't get me started on those stupid bricks. They should fit. There is absolutely no reason for them not to but they don't fit quite right. A combination of the curves oversensitivity and the slight curve in the window parts. It took me ages (...) (17 years ago, 25-Jan-07, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
   
        Re: Tatra T-3 Moscow Tram —Luca Giannitti
   (...) Hi Tim, really a nice work (this is said from a tramways expert!). I like the front side that is typical of the eastern Europe old tramways. I would like to see a Praha (Prague) version, red and white, maybe with the trailer car. Think about (...) (17 years ago, 25-Jan-07, to lugnet.trains)
   
        Re: Tatra T-3 Moscow Tram —Timothy Gould
     (...) Thanks very much for the compliments. I also have a CAD version so I may be able to render a Prague version. I'll certainly think about it for when I have some spare time. Your Turin TPR-500 is probably my favourite tram made. You captured the (...) (17 years ago, 26-Jan-07, to lugnet.trains)
    
         Re: Tatra T-3 Moscow Tram —Luca Giannitti
     (...) Thanks for the compliments too :-) I know the Manchester tram. It is a different version of Turin ML 7000. The TPR 5000 has a very close design with the difference that it is partial low flor. The modern trams are most similar each others, but (...) (17 years ago, 26-Jan-07, to lugnet.trains)
    
         Re: Tatra T-3 Moscow Tram —Timothy Gould
      --snip-- Hi Luca, (...) Yes I completely agree. (...) I agree about the grey windows. Maybe black would work better for a non-transparent colour but dark grey looks too coloured to me for a window. (...) I love these ones. I stole the window idea (...)

         Re: Tatra T-3 Moscow Tram —Akos Kostyan
     (...) When I designed this tram, I had to make a decision: should I model the window frames or should I use standard windows? Since official LEGO models sometimes use non-transparent bricks as "windows", I thought I could do it as well. (Tiny Turbo (...) (17 years ago, 14-Apr-07, to lugnet.trains)
   
        Re: Tatra T-3 Moscow Tram —Jindrich Kubec
   (...) Hi Luca, I think that Prague trams are not exactly white. See this photo (URL) don't like trams so even though I lived in Prague for almost 10 years, I can count on my fingers how many times I used this loud beast :o) OTOH I know that getting (...)

        Re: Tatra T-3 Moscow Tram —Luca Giannitti
   (...) Look at that picture of one historic tram in Turin: (URL) above color is a particular green (a light "Veronese" green), but what LEGO color should I use? Not tan, because it is too much "yellowish". White? Too much bright... the perfect color (...) (17 years ago, 26-Jan-07, to lugnet.trains)
   
        Re: Tatra T-3 Moscow Tram —Jindrich Kubec
   (...) I'd like to use tan (because it's not as bright as white), but since the windows are hard to get by, I'd also use white. Bummer. Jindroush (17 years ago, 29-Jan-07, to lugnet.trains)
