Re: HTM GTL8 tram

CKD Tatra T3. ;) It was based on the PCC, but for the eastern part of europe back before the 1990s. Exactly. It was just inspired by PCC. Tatra T1 and Tatra T2 can be considered direct copies of PCC. Just Google the pictures of Tatra T1 and Tatra T2, and look at their front mask. I believe, you'll ...

Re: HTM GTL8 tram

Wow! Prague has a losh darn lots of tram lines, how many are there? in Philadelphia, there are 6 tram lines in our city. Also, nice job on the project. I've always wondered to myself about these. You did a spectacular job making these! Normally, the Prague tram network has 26 lines. You can see the...

Re: HTM GTL8 tram

I'm afraid that these trams will not be operational after they will go out of service. They will be saved though. That because they want to increase the voltage on the overhead lines from 600V to 750V when these trams will go out of service. The PCC trams will have their transformers rebuild, so th...

Re: HTM GTL8 tram

The Prague tramlines mentioned use these trams: https://dopravnispony.s18.cdn-upgates.com/_cache/8/a/8ac42cc5168e11becadfe4c281f041e1-vyr-902-41-a-23-reklama.jpg These are not modern trams. They are old generation trams, saved for museum and touristic purposes. Exactly Sjoerd! To describe those tra...

Re: HTM GTL8 tram

Retro tram lines? Why are they named "retro" even though they are tram lines of such? Trams are common. Im not a European person... I need more info to complete this. It's because of the rolling stock used on those lines. The rolling stock on retro lines was used on regular lines in the p...

Re: HTM GTL8 tram

So it's a Hofstad food tram? Why would they do that, even though there are food places, our U.S has restaurants. Because it's not usual to have a restaurant tram in your city. Also that restaurant tram can be a good tourist attraction. It's not unusual, that transport companies uses some of it's ve...

Re: HTM GTL8 tram

This randomly makes me want to capture the GTL 8 on camera (I am a Train, Tram, Bus, Waterbus (Dordrecht), Metro & Plane spotter) Well then go ahead! I won't hesitate, if I were you. If I remember it correctly, Sjoerd mentioned, there are few last functioning GTL8 trams IRL and the Hague transp...

Re: HTM GTL8 tram

Those pantos look like diamond-shaped pantos used by Tatra trams, only they're black, not yellow nor orange. But looking at the real picture in the 1st post, I think they're accurate

Re: HTM GTL8 tram

Your 1st guess is wrong, this tram only runs at 600V. 2nd guess is correct, the rear panto is used when the front panto is damaged or sometimes the drivers just use the rear one instead of the front one. Oh I see. I guess, the spare panto may come in handy sometimes. ;) Also that 1st guess, was der...
