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 get the point right away.

Yeah~~~ I forgot to mention, The retro lines 41 and 42 aren't shown on that map I posted, but the retro line 23 is shown there.

Here you can read more about the retro lines 41 and 42 and see the map of those lines here as well (the webpage is originally in Czech, but I translated it for you): https://www-dpp-cz.translate.goog/zabav ... r_pto=wapp
If you want to make a very fast ride, just disable ATB/ZUB, put trottle to 1.00 and enjoy.

Erm... Okay.... But I don't see it.. The 23 line actually, there's so many lines it will be confusing

No, there is no specific museumtram route. The tram museum is open on sundays, and every opening day, they organise two trips (at 13:00 and 14:30) with historic trams. The trips start and end at the museum (no stops during the trip), and the destinations change each time, although you can look them up on the website (https://hovm.nl/uw-bezoek/hovm-bestemmi ... agsritten/).

The Tourist tram, running with historic PCC trams, does have a fixed route, and you can get on/off at every tramstop along the way. But these aren't operated as museum trams, but as "Hop-on/Hop-off" sightseeing tours (just like to double decker busses you see in large cities with lots of tourists). So you could say these trams are 'back in revenue service'.

Looks like a semi circle based off the look. I need to see this in The Hague! I wonder what makes this city unique from our cities in the USA. I'm starting to put things together! Your city has a lot of things Philadelphia has. Do the Sprinter, Intercity & Intercity Direct have a history.
