Madrid Light Rail trams, June 2024
Madrid has four light rail lines which serve districts not covered by the Metro, and intended to aid new development. They have modern tramway construction with grooved rails and 750v DC overhead electrification. They use Alstom Citadis 302 trams, built in 2006/7 as 5-section units, but with the intention of extending them as needed. Three of the routes are branded as Metro Ligero “light metro” with line numbers ML1, ML2 and ML3. The lines are entirely private right of way, but the rails are laid in hard paved surfaces. The fourth light rail line appears on the Metro map with a metro line number, line 12. It is a circular route serving Parla in the south of the city and is currently descr...

Trondheim Trams, Norway, Sept 2023
Просмотров 49710 месяцев назад
Trondheim’s tramway opened in 1901 as part of a municipal plan to bring electricity to the city. The existence of the once-extensive network became a matter of political contention in the 1980’s. The system was abandoned in 1988, with the exception of a short section from St. Olav Gate to the tram museum at Munkvoll, intended to operate as a heritage/tourist line. All the other street-running l...
Model Tramway rebuilt / Modell Straßenbahn im Maßstab HO
Просмотров 8 тыс.Год назад
This re-build of my HO scale model tramway in a bookcase was necessitated by a house move. I have retained most of the scenic features including the Four Seasons theme, but this time I made the layout free-standing so that it can be taken to exhibitions occasionally. The baseboard is 11’ x 1’4” (3.3m X 0.4m) in three sections designed to pack into the back of a small car. The track is Peco HO C...
Le Havre Trams, December 2022

Le Havre’s modern 2 route tramway opened in stages from 2012. As with elsewhere in France, the new tramway was part of a larger scheme of urban renewal and environmental improvements. The tracks are street-level, mostly segregated and laid in grass. The trams are 100% low floor 5-section Alstom Citadis.
Rouen Metro Trams, December 2022

Rouen in Normandy has a modern two route light rail/tram system which opened in 1994. There is some street running plus segregated grassed tracks at street level, there are also elevated sections and a subway under the city centre. Rouen calls its city railway a Metro but the engineering is definitely light rail: the trams are 100% low-floor 7-section Alstom Citadis from 2011-12 and run on groo...
Belgium Coast Tram, December 2022

The Belgian Coastal Tramway De Kusttram is one of three surviving sections of a formerly countrywide network of narrow-gauge light railways previously operated by the state owned Vicinal Company. The line runs for 67km along the coast from the French to the Dutch border and is the world’s longest single tram route. In 1991 ownership was transferred to the Flemish regional operator De Lijn, whic...

The complete rebuilding of central Rotterdam after WW2 facilitated the construction of an extensive 9-route street-level light rail/tram network. (The city also has bus lines and a 5-route metro linked to the Hague, all with integrated ticketing.) There is some street running in the suburbs, but the central area has segregated light rail lines, many are grassed. Intersections with cars and pede...

Valencia Trams ~ Tranvia de Valencia September 2022
Просмотров 3 тыс.Год назад
Valencia’s urban rail system started by adapting the local lines of Spain’s meter-gauge rail network. There are currently ten lines on the MetroValencia map: six metro lines and four light rail tram lines. The tram routes are mostly surface level, with segregated light rail and tram-only streets. L4 opened as Spain’s first “modern tramway” in 1994, followed by L6 and L8, the “trams to the beach...
Strasbourg Trams August 2022
Просмотров 405Год назад
Strasbourg’s 6-line modern tramway opened in stages starting in 1994. It is essentially a street level light metro. Tracks are segregated, with tram-only streets in the city centre, and much use is made of grassed track (this is brown in the video due to the 2022 drought). The system is standard gauge 750Vdc. Deliberately futuristic looking Eurotrams were built by the Italian company Socimi for...

Oslo has a modest 6-line standard gauge tramway operated by Sprorveien Trikken. (Trikken is short for elektrikk and is the colloquial Norwegian word for tram). The city public transport authority is Ruter, and time-based ticketing is valid across all their bus, tram, metro and ferry services. With many bus conversions and the new metro, the city council decided to close the tram system in 1960,...

Amsterdam is famously a city of trams and bicycles. GVB operates the standard gauge, 14-route city tram network along with the metro, busses (mostly electric) and ferries. Tickets are time-based and can be used across all GVB services. The trams are now all 5-section articulated units: 155 Seimens Combino from 2002 (all but 4 are uni-directional) and 72 bi-directional CAF Urbos 100 from 2020. T...

I would say madrid is one of the most modern cities in europe, infrastructure wise
What a beautiful layout. I love trams since my childhood. But what I find most impressive here are the little cyclists. The way their legs push the pedals. Simply amazing.
Thank you. It's the Dutch Magnorail system. I have a short video on here showing how it was made.
This is a very nice layout. Thankyou for sharing.
Did not just like it "LOVED IT". Beautiful movement of the trams and so well edited.
Thank you!
Sehr schön
🚅 don't you all enjoy railroad 🚈 trams, trains etc are just so cool 🚞 take a ride in my ''transportation'' folder, (folder 2 in my playlists) :)
What country
Italy
Fantastic layout . May i ask where you got the snowy mountains backdrop for the alpine section?
Thanks Dan. It's my own holiday photo that I edited and printed out using Microsoft Paint. The programme automatically prints the photo across several A4 sheets; if you know where to look you can just about see the joins. I used heavier than normal paper. For my first attempt I stuck the paper on with water-based glue and the ink ran. For the second attempt I used 3M Dry Mount spray which was great, because it also gives you time to re-position the paper.
@@michaelinlondon Thats really helpful to know, thank you kindly Michael.
Ist die Anlage Digital gesteuert oder Analog, gesteuert?
@@ZugStrab Hi there. It is analog. There are four block sections corresponding to the joins in the baseboard, so up to three trams can be "in service" at one time. Trams move in to the next empty block section. There is a pause and change-over relay for the current direction at each end.
Ein wahres Modell Wunder.....das muss man erstmal können.👍
Beautiful video 💯
Lovely scene.
Very nice tram video. I enjoyed watching it :)
The first tram station was Pont de Fusta, am I right?
Yes😂
I am a huge fan of LUAS
Nice train model.
Thank you very much!
A track plan, great! Wish more were provided with layout videos. Thanks!
Thank you for your comment. Yes, often when I look at a layout video I think a track plan would be interesting so I thought I'd include one. Even though the track plan here is very simple, I think it helps explain how the layout works.
Nice video and layout. Thumbs up!
Michael what is the name of this song
0:00
Hello. It is a traditional Irish jig called "The Boys of Tandragee". This recording is by a Belfast group called Darragh Folk who have since disbanded, so the link to their website in the video description may no longer work, but the tune is quite well known so there may be other recordings available.
Schönes Video. Liebe Grüße aus ❤Freiburg🌲 Schwarzwald🇩🇪 Deutschland
A system like this would be perfect for tapping into Cincinnati's untapped underground network for 100 years
What a delightful scene- well done. Cyclists running at a realistic speed too!
Thank you. Your MagnorailOz videos were a great inspiration and help.
Buen video de tranvias 🚈 de Valencia 🏙️ FGV lineas 4 , 6 y 8 series 4200 y 3800 estan muy chulos los tranvias 🚈 de Valencia 🏙️ FGV a ver cuando ponen tranvias 🚈 nuevos porque los tranvias 🚈 de la serie 4200 es del año 2006 y el tranvia 🚈 de la serie 3800 es del año 1994 así que tarde o temprano tendran que poner tranvias 🚈 modernos
A well-maintained tram can last indefinitely. Old age is not of itself a reason for replacing something. The longer a vehicle is in service, the more the environmental costs associated with production are dissipated over time. This is one of the reasons why electric trams are more sustainable.
@@michaelinlondon Maybe it's Spanish or Valencian regulation, but trams can't here can't be in use for more than 25 years, so the 3800 series has to be retired, because of that the company is hiring Stadler to build the new 4500 series.
@@josumds1896 That's a pity, and very wasteful. Elsewhere in Europe there are plenty of cities with well maintained trams that are way over 25 years old still giving good service.
Are there ever freight trains on that line?
Sadly there are now none, and it is a huge missed opportunity. Before Brexit there were three ferries a week from Rosslare to continental Europe; there are now thirty-four and the roads around Wexford are often choked with lorries. Many of the ferries carry unaccompanied freight (i.e. lorry trailers without cabs and drivers) so a ship-rail transfer would seem to be the obvious solution
Thank you for SHARING.
Thanks for watching!
This is awesome!
Thank you! (Sorry I've only just noticed your comment. RUclips quietly dropped automatic notifications a while ago.)

Very good idea and nice layout :)
Very nice layout. Four segments with four seasons , on a bookshelf - very interesting solutions, particularly in case of very small place. Very realistic configuration, whole model is great! Awesome work!

doe the tram go to Place Massena?
Not yet, but when the new underground section opens it will do; there you will be able to change to the existing line T1.
@@michaelinlondon Thanks. By the time I go in Serptember hopefully.
@@mikeos1 Us too. We are flying into Nice airport on September 5th. We were thinking about taking the Tramway as far as possible, then get on train to Villefranche-sur-Mer where we are staying. I am waiting with baited breath for updates on this so I can plan accordingly.
Wednesday 28 jeune 2019,thé tram will go go Masséna!!ans un novembre to thé port !
Very cool video
Merci de montrer ma ville d'une jolie façon.
Sounds like French trams
It's the better thing we've in Bordeaux, to travel across many little or big towns as mine CENON ( I live on " Ligne A " ), we're very lucky , 'cause the cars can stay at the garage : no more pollution ! I hope that many tourists will come in my so beautiful and practical town and use the tramway to visit all the towns where the tram is ! I'll be happy to meet them !
Nice video. I was there in 2011 and in 1998 ruclips.net/video/5-OLkxadWDs/видео.html ruclips.net/video/BV9jVZ9VPoo/видео.html

Excellent video. Unfortunately in that period the rail service on Line n.3 was replaced by bus. Tram service was restored on 27th August 2012
Lovely Shots and Train Journey Michael!😃.
beautiful ! congratulations ! which automatic control device for this miniature ? some explications? thanks
Thank you and hello. Sorry for the delay in replying, RUclips did not send a notification. Each end of the layout is automated by simple relays controlled by miniature reed switches under the track, triggered by a small magnet under each tram. There are two isolated a sections: the single-track reversing spur including the point, and the safety-stop zone for the incoming tram. A double-pole change-over relay reverses the current in the spur. The Hartel points are spring-loaded in favour of the outgoing direction of travel so do not need motorising. The sequence of operation is as follows: 1) The incoming tram trips the change of polarity in the reversing spur. 2) The incoming tram trips the current off in the safety-stop and the current on in the spur. The outgoing tram starts to move. 3) The incoming tram enters the safety-stop zone and halts. 4) After clearing the points, the outgoing tram trips the change of polarity in the reversing spur. 5) The outgoing tram then trips the current on in the safety-stop, the incoming tram starts to move. 6) When fully in the reversing spur, the incoming tram trips the current off in the reversing spur and halts. The length of the isolating sections and the positioning of the reed switches have to allow for the length of the longest tram. At the “winter” end, LED colour light signals are connected directly to the change-over relay. There is also a pause-stop on the curved section of the layout which I bought ready-made from heathcote-electronics.co.uk/ This is triggered by an infra-red detector which is normally mounted under the baseboard pointing upwards through the centre of the track, but I added it after the layout was built, so the detector is hidden in the tree next to the tram stop pointing down at the track and it works very well. I hope this helps. Actually, all the above should be written in the past tense. I have recently moved home and the layout is dismantled in packing cases, hopefully to be rebuilt some time in the future.
Thanks so much for your answer
Nice train trip - must do that section some time. From Bray to Wicklow Town and from Rathdrum to Arklow is really spectacular - those sections I did travel!

The tram of Tenerife began its operation in 2007 and joins the old capital of the island, La Laguna, with the new one, Santa Cruz. Both cities form the metropolitan area of Tenerife with more than half a million inhabitants.
español Die Straßenbahn ist als Konzept modern, effizient und nachhaltig, mit einer größeren Nutzerkapazität als der Bus und mit Umweltvorteilen wie einem niedrigeren Energieverbrauch, niedrigeren CO2-Emissionen und einer höheren sozialen Rentabilität. An dieser Stelle argumentiert niemand, dass eines der größten Probleme auf dem Planeten die Verschmutzung ist. Und aus diesem Grund können wir uns nicht vernachlässigen, es ist ein vorrangiges Problem der Gesundheit, für die Erwachsenen, die es provozieren, aber vor allem für unsere Kinder, die uns bald nach Verantwortung fragen werden. In den Jahren des Wirtschaftswachstums haben wir ein sozio-geografisches Modell von Inseln und Städten aufgebaut, das absolut ungerecht und dumm ist. Wir sind Sklaven der Mobilität geworden, wir leben weit weg von wo wir arbeiten. Dies bedeutet, dass das private Fahrzeug mehr als die Hälfte des öffentlichen Raums einnimmt und dass in Santa Cruz de Tenerife die Ein- und Ausgänge der Stadt mehr Fahrzeuge als in Madrid unterstützen. Wir müssen den von Tausenden von Fahrzeugen belegten Platz zurückgewinnen, um die Abhängigkeit des Privatwagens zu verringern und die willkürliche Verlagerung zu minimieren. Eine gute und effiziente Infrastruktur ist die beste Unterstützung für produktive Tätigkeiten und die Umwelt. Eine schnelle und sichere Kommunikation ermöglicht größere Möglichkeiten für den geschäftlichen und persönlichen Austausch, was einen signifikanten Anstieg der Wirtschaftsbeziehungen, die Schaffung von Arbeitsplätzen und die Verbesserung der Lebensqualität der Bürgerinnen und Bürger fördert. Ich hoffe und hoffe, dass die Linien dieses Transports in nicht allzu ferner Zukunft weiter zunehmen und sich auf alle Stadtviertel und Stadtteile ausdehnen werden. Es geht darum, Santa Cruz und seine Metropole in eine Stadt des 21. Jahrhunderts zu verwandeln. An einem bewohnbareren Ort mit Grünflächen und mehr Fußgängerzonen. Worauf warten wir?
