TRAM SERIE 5000 - LEGO MODEL

This is my first attempt to build a LEGO version of one Turin's tramway. The model I've chosen is the "TPR Serie 5000", a tram that I like a lot. My target is to build a LEGO copy of each Turin's tram type. Before beginning the building, I studied the original projects and I made all the measuring for the Lego scale. So, I decided to make my tram scale compatible with the scale of the Lego 9V tracks.

The model is 10 x 73 x 17 Studs that means about 7,87 x 57,55 x 13,23 cm in an approximate scale of 1:33 (or scale 1). It uses more than 950 parts. The picture below shows a nice rendering of the model.

Here you can compare it to the original one! For more technical infos about the original tram, visit this page too. More pictures are available from my Brickshelf gallery. Here you can see the tram with its old colors:
