Tram or streetcar

[Kev Green]

Hi having rebuilt my layout I think I now have room to put in a tram or streetcar on a returning straight section. Because it’s returning I can’t use a pole so any suggestions for one with a pantograph?

Fit a pantograph to a Bachmann tram or fit a trolley reverser?

I fitted a pantograph to my Bachmann tram, so it was bi-directional....

You could of course fit a bow collector that could be made to flip over when the tram changes direction.

That's a bit woke

By Bachmann tram has a trolley-pole, but it swings both-ways!

This is the reason pantographs exist!

I expected this thread to be about terminology.

Very easy to fit a panto to a Bachmann tram. You can either raise the panto above the gangplank of cut the middle section of the gangplank out and screw direct to the roof.

You were right both ways, one shows a pic of the YT start to tempt us, the other just the link name.
