This research was very complex and difficult. Historical reconstruction of the 950 mm narrow gauge trams of the city of Modena.
This is the front-side right view of the 950 mm narrow gauge tram. The tram lines of the city of Modena operated until 1958. The last section of the line connected the two railway stations of the Ferrovie dello Stato and the Ferrovie Provinciali SEFTA.
The ATM company of Modena bought the motorized Brill trolleys and the tram body was built by CARMINATI and TOSELLLI of Milan and the electrical equipment by CGE of Milan 1912.

The tram engine with the sign ON TEST (IN PROVA) before the inauguration of the lines. The color of the engine was white and red, which was later changed to light and dark green, which remained unchanged until the day of demolition. In the background you can see the bogies trolley version of the tram of which there are very few photographs Not one of these trams remained.

As you can still see there were horse-drawn trams and behind the Edison-type tram engine. The tracks were then changed to the new version of the Phoenix-type rails.

The J. G. Brill Company manufactured streetcars, interurban coaches, motor buses, trolleybuses and railroad cars in the United States for nearly 90 years, hence the longest-lasting trolley and interurban manufacturer. At its height, Brill was the largest manufacturer of streetcars and interurban cars in the US and produced more streetcars, interurbans and gas-electric cars than any other manufacturer, building more than 45,000 streetcars alone.

This is a very nice model. No expense was spared on details. It's nice to see that the tram theme hasn't been completely abandoned in the ORTS. I'm looking forward to more! :rolleyes:

Brilliant design of opening post, don Stefano, Bravo!
Very detailed work.
Is compressor mechanical or electric?


The mechanical compressor is single and placed on the same axis as the engine one. STEVEN

I like "Don Stefano". Because my father was born in Catania in SICILY. The beautiful island that is at the foot of the Italian peninsula. Thanks STEVEN or Don Stefano.
