Hey, these look really good. And that Croydon looks better than mine, in my opinion. Although if I may criticize a little bit, I'd say that in the diagonal view, you do need something that at least suggests a window there, maybe just a 1-pixel column of window-colored pixels. Besides that, any more realistic and it would be stuck in traffic.

If that is supposed to be this, then I suggest you make the 1st, 3rd and 5th segment much shorter. As you can see, those segments have only two windows. You drew three, or even four windows there.
What you also seemed to forgot is that this tram has black window surroundings.
I kind of changed the graphics to let you see what I exactly had in mind
Thanks Bastiaan and Lewis, I will have a look at these in a month or so after all these exams are done, along with 101 other things I have promised to do.

I've been on that tram, and there are rubber connectors, they're also rarely in consists quite that long, normally the heads and between one and three carriages in between.

the baloon ones, so it just needed 2cc-ing.
Ive sent Ameecher them.
Needless to say they will be editted to make them actually look like Balloons since when I drew them first time round they were wrong.
To Supertycoon. As far as I know, all NET trams run as 5 cars but as Bastiaan and Purno have already pointed out (and I have already addressed) there are some errors in my sprites.

Yep. Definitely much more like the real life proportions. I don't know how difficult it is (codewise) to have different lengths of the parts of a consist, though. Maybe that should be checked first...

Of course they will. I just thought I'd get the shape first before going any further.
@ Anders, I'll have a check about that with Lakie or Steven, Thanks for the help.
Edit: added attachment of _ views of the 3 liveries that the Supertram has carried (excluding Advertising liveries which I will leave out from this set (except from Blackpool Trams)).
Edit2: I need to change those Pantographs, they are too obvious. Updated attachment.
Thank you people, now then I've just spent a couple of hours drawing the / | and \ views (note no texturing yet and also on one view the Pantograph is the wrong way round. But lets be having some opinions please.
Well, the new stagecoach livery is actually easier than the old one. Since the old one has 4 stripes that need to fit into the space of 2 rows of pixels, obviously something that doesn't work, but I managed to work round that and I'm quite pleased with the result.
It feels like the separation between the cars are at the wrong place in the diagonals. The middle car looks almost as long as the front and back again.
Aaargh, it's difficult with so few pixels. Maybe something like this:
