Um. Ringhoffer? What's a Ringhoffer?

Ringhoffer, or full and formal name "Ringhoffer's factory" (or in german: "Ringhoffer-Werke A.G"). was a tram manufacturer making trams from 1876 to 1946. The manufacturer "Ringhoffer's factory" itself existed since 1853, but at first, it was making equipment for beer breweries and for sugar refineries, only after the year mentioned above, it started making trams. After 1946 "Ringhoffer's factory" was merged with Tatra company and renamed "Tatra Smíchov," and continued making trams untill 90s. In the 90s, Tatra Smíchov went bankrupt due to company's inability to withstand a huge competition in it's specialization (vehicle making), and Skoda Transportation took up Tatra Smíchov's job of making trams, which it does 'till nowadays.

The Hoftrammm interior is progressing...

I'm curious... does all the modelling of the interior props make this the highest poly count for a train in the sim?

[Sjoerd]

Yes, it will have a higher poly count, obviously, due to the knives, forks, spoons, wine glasses and wine bottles. But these items will only be rendered up to 30 meters viewing distance, and there is just one restaurant tram (vehiclenumber 3035); you don't have an entire fleet of them.

Will the Hoftrammm have a repaintable version so we can camouflage it to like the other trams?

[Sjoerd]

No, there will be no repaintable Hoftrammm.

Update: I just installed window wipers on all the GTL trams.

Oh okay! That's understandable.

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.

3rd: OG Tatra T3 uses carboard signs to show the tram line, which is serving and the terminal station, where it ends, and a sign which is placed on the right side of the tram, showing a summary of the stations on the line served by the tram. The sign showing a tram line is placed above the driver's cabin and it's a navy blue sign with the white number, showing the number of the tram line. The sign showing a terminal station is placed between the back of the dashboard and the windshield, and it's a white sign (orange sign, if the served line is diverted due to trackworks) with dark blue borders on each sides (black borders, if the sign is orange), with a blue text (black text, if the sign is orange) telling the name of the terminal station. The sign on the right side of the tram is placed next to the middle door, and it's a white sign (orange sign, if the if the served line is diverted due to trackworks) with a blue text (black text, if the sign is orange) showing a number of the served line and the summary of stations served by the line (bold text for terminal stations, italic text if the stations are on the diverted route, and the the logo of the Prague metro next to the station's name, if the passengers can tranfer to metro from the said station).
Note: On line 23, the side signs are secured to their holder using a padlock. This is because of the insubordinate tram enthusiasts, who had a cheek to take the side sign from it's holder and flee from the tram at the next station, taking the sign with him/her as a souvenir.

Is this what it looks like?

[RotterdamMetroLover]

Yup. BTW the 8000 series tram of Prague are called Tatra T3M. M stands for modified. These got thyristor drives in the late 70's/early 80's (TV1).
