The low quality model is just too low quality, and the interior is nothing more then a few very simple seats; not enough to combine the two models.

If the higher quality model was complete, I would have considered it, as I do like the design of the tram. ;)
Well it's shame, that there are no good models of it. :( Next time before I suggest some vehicle I should look up to the 3d warehouse sketchup for good model of it!

Yeah! Tatra T3 trams got reconstructed but their basic design didn't get changed, well they got digital board above the windshield and they sound different (Unreconstructed Tatra T3 tram only made a loud soft "click" and then made a near high pitched humming sound. Reconstructed Tatra T3 makes a high pitched wheezing and then the same near high pitched humming sound). There are also many different types of tram, but I won't describe them here. If you are interested, PM me.

I know it's a bit late, but HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
If you want to make a very fast ride, just disable ATB/ZUB, put trottle to 1.00 and enjoy.

Maybe we need a new Rijndam era to go with these trams, sometime in the 1950s or 60s, before the metro. :lol: ;)
Only the trams, the Noorderpoortlijnen and the rail lines from Central Station (maybe the line past Javeaplein as a freight line?) exist.

Also, to quote myself:

Damplein - Burcht - Nat'l Opera - Megastores
Javeaplein - Noorderpoort - Nat'l Opera - Burcht - Central Station - Zuiderpoortplein
Noorderpoort - Nat'l Opera - Burcht - Garenmarkt
Does that sound like a good idea to you guys?

Also, the turning loop at Centraal Station is annoying me by being partly under the rail line, even though I think there is enough space in and around the plaza area. :|

Here is some pictures to kind of explain what I want:

I have considered multiple idea's to build that turning loop. Doing it in front of the station building (starting from the 'old' tram platforms) did not work out; the turns would be too tight, or I would have to remove houses/buildings to make room.
I also considered doing a larger loop, like I did at the Station Buitenvelden terminus. That did not work out either, as I could quite fit in the needed turns at Stuyvesantplein (where you would return to the exiting line).
In the end, I found the room I needed under the station itself. At first, I tried doing it in a way that would make a tram station under the train tracks possible (with an open view to the station passage, or direct stairs up to the train platforms), but that idea failed too due to the tightness of the turns; the outside track in the loop is already against the back wall of the train tracks, so no room to add a platform there.
