Right, we'll at least give this a look.

Just create a new thread to promote the idea a bit more.

We shall see.

Well, make something like this possible.

anyways, new trams are always welcome

This is a great idea, i can probably provide RAW images of a tram from blackpool but i am no good at drawing or coding.
Tuturing wellcome though

Post by **Dave** » 23 Mar 2006 20:51

Dude I'm no better than you are.

I have to try though, since I brought the idea up.

I'm thinking mostly the every-day use trams, and then - as maybe a refittable livery (if this is possible

) a novelty tram with many of the special setups of Blackpool's Trams in the Illuminations season.

I dunno how many different trams it would incorporate though - I can imagine very few - there are still some uber-old trams running along Blackpool beach - so they're not replaced with new models very often.

How many do people think are necessary... three? maybe four?

If we can't get enough trams from the Blackpool era, what about other tram/metro systems in the UK... I know the West Midlands has one (The Midland Metro), and I know Manchester has it's famous setup.

I dunno... Just throwing ideas onto the table at the moment - this may not go anywhere. Or it may. Who knows...

Well i have at least images of four Trams from blackpool on my pooter.

Most of them are old ones but they do have the images on them from illuminastinos and advertising events.

Here are a few of them

I can also provide estimated speeds and capacity of some Blackpool trams.

So if its all right i will sign up and help with this project.

Your help would be appreciated, for sure. You're in

Trouble is I'm not sure I'd be very good at drawing trams and stuff. I don't want to end up just orchestrating things - I have to try. I think it would be better if we had a decent artist on-board though.

Will the real jamesvassie please stand up? If he's still interested that is

I'll give some graphics a shot.

Now I'm in 3 projects, new record for me I think!

Born Acorn · Post by **Born Acorn** » 24 Mar 2006 00:59

Well, the Blackpool Transport Company's colours are Green and Cream, so 2cc is a must

lws1984 · Post by **lws1984** » 24 Mar 2006 01:04

Yes, it will be nice to have some trams in 2cc now, I wish we had 2cc LVs and stations/

Redirect Left · Post by **Redirect Left** » 24 Mar 2006 08:11

Another tram which we could include within the set.

Post by **Dave** » 24 Mar 2006 08:46

That's a good pic.

Heheh, the Chuckle Brothers.

Do we want a tracking table for such? I'm afraid so the only place I've got is on my website, unless someone else has a better place - so basically a scrap of paper would be better

.

Anyhow, I'm muchly excited bout this.

I'll try drawing that tram later - and then you can all laugh

If we can get everything together it should be a great set, i think we might need to setup a website of something to help keep track. any ideas

jvassie · Post by **jvassie** » 24 Mar 2006 16:25

Great then, thanks in advance

Redirect Left · Post by **Redirect Left** » 24 Mar 2006 20:12

Just got my hands on some new pics and specs, so when you are ready to try drawing, let me know.

Post by **WWTBAM** » 25 Mar 2006 01:27

Dave dont forget you dont have to link to the tracking table from your main site if you dont have a ttd section, just link to it in your signature until it your ttd site gets done. It wouldnt hurt to leave it in your sig after the ttd section went up anyway. Some of our users do it this way. Dont forget that if there's a table of information and people can easily get to it, then people will be more likely to join the project.

Ta for that tip robotboy. I shall certainly look into it, and probably have something done in the next couple of days. I'm rather busy at the moment.

I was up north yesterday, near to Blackpool - Preston in fact - but I saw very little of Preston (*whistles innocently*), so Blackpool was definitely out.

I'm gonna go hunting for specs and such today - if I have time.
