Sweet little French tram...

[Tom Greensfelder]

For my last post of the year I thought I would share this electric tram from Jarville-Nancy. It probably dates from the turn of the last century.

My assistant, Alexandra, began the build and did and excellent job except for mistaking the steps for small gates. I corrected them and made a few other minor changes.

Happy New Year and let's hope it's a better one!

A very fine little tram. I like the look of it.

Happy New Year!

Hi All,

And hi, Tom and Alexandra. That's a fine looking tram you built there, Alexandra. While the publisher's application of watercolor looks like it was done after a fully equipped French lunch, those of us who appreciate vintage paper models always enjoy seeing these old kits given a new, well-built life.

The tram's Mairie-Place du Marche-Cathedrale route would have been quite short, as the three destinations are closely grouped together in the center of the City of Lights.

A Better New Year to Tom and Alexandra, and the same wish holds for fellow paper modelers around the world, too.

Score and fold,

Thumb Dog

Very nice looking tram. What are the final dimensions?
And yes, happy 2021!

Thanks for sharing your find. A very neat little build. I hope 2021 is less stressful for all.

Hi, Wire and Paper. I printed the scan of the original sheet at 125%, so the length of the built tram was just shy of 7 inches.
