Toronto TTC CLRV

Another project I am working on. When I release the Flexity Outlook, the "Toronto" package will also contain a second tram; the CLRV (Canadian Light Rail Vehicle).
As trolleys are not supported by the simulator, I had to install a pantograph. This is not entirely fictional; pantographs have been used on these trams during the early testruns; as the first few trams where build in Switzerland, using a pantograph was necessary in order to do testruns. The pantograph was replaced by a trolley before final delivery to Toronto.
For consistency, the Toronto CLRV has been fitted with the same pantograph as the Toronto Flexity Outlook tram.

Looks good! I guess we (almost) have more trams than metros by now

There are still a lot more metro's
At least the Toronto trams use underground stations too

These trams do not have couplers anymore (they were removed in 1988), but in case of a defective tram, you still have to be able to create an emergency coupling. These are however not suitable for use in passenger service....

Nice tram! It reminds me of Tatra T3 tram which sadly can't be included in metrosim (see topic "Rijndam" for more info).
Atleast this can be a good substitute tram for Tatra T3 tram.

Cool! I think this tram is the most realistic of MetroSim
I very very like it

See page 95 in this topic:

I'm gonna give the T3/T4 a try (while I continue to work on my national rail project) the model in the screenshot is the sketchup model. I will optimize it for the simulator.
