I found that they sit very nicely inside the groove of the LEGO train wheelsets very nicely in place of the standard traction bands. Hoping this helps. Ahh, fines, it will help by now. The Hungrian word "tömítés" means a water resist thingy you put by the joints of the water pipes, but I never thought that "O-ring" will be this. :D I'll look up in local stores to buy some and try it with the tram, really thanks for the advice!

I must have bought these sometime during 2016 off eBay, so even the purchase records have been purged. @Ashi Valkoinen You're most welcome. Hopefully it will help your tram's performance a bit. Looking at your photos I am wondering if perhaps you're getting a lot of unwanted additional friction, because the front and rear sections don't appear to turn as much as I had expected. I know that successful Talgo trains have been built which appear to use some species of steering linkage to ensure correct articulation, but I don't think there is quite enough space inside your tram to implement this without losing the signature low floor that I know you were keen to replicate.

Charzi the Builder Posted October 2, 2024 Posted October 2, 2024 I have a Question, could you say what Parts you have used, and what count of it? I would like to build it myself Thanks Quote

I'll try to look up for it, but will take some time 'til I get back to my homeplace where it is stored. You may find some photos at my Flick-gallery to get started - looking back at this tram it is quite easy design compared to my recent stuff. :) https://www.flickr.com/photos/150200265@N08/albums/72157700704620731/with/44498911334 Edited October 16, 2024 by Ashi Valkoinen Quote
