Trams: Is There Much Tramway Interest On Here??

ciao, a little upgrade from my layout (tram, Italy): one side of layout is almost completed, on the left the track for (future) depot. A mix of LGB, 3d and traditional railmodel technique...

Lovely view brings lots of questions, particularly the superb grass effect by the roadside. Looks like static grass but am I correct?
 
Why is it that certain Youtube videos, posted here, will not play on my computer, even when I am signed into YouTube ?

Could be that the vid has been created as ‘not public’. Asking the user generally sorts it, I have been guilty of that misdemena myself!
 
A tram pic, copied across from David's Pic of the Day, 17.2.2025. Another view of a tram wending its way though the central square in Soller, en route to Puerto Soller, Mallorca, 16.9.2024.

I have posted a pic of the Digbeth Branch link but never got round to further investigation yesterday, a cold day!
 
This pic is copied across from David's Pic of the Day for 8.3.2025, as it may be of interest to tram fans. The photo was taken 6.3.2010, not G scale, but worth a look. It's a 4mm scale tram layout set in a delightful Portuguese townscape. Unfortunately I do not recall the name of the layout.

If any of you are in, or within range of, London this coming weekend, I can confirm that there will be G Scale at the London Festival of Railway Modelling, being held at Alexandra Palace on 15th & 16th March . . . in the shape of the Whiteleaf Tramway.

The London Festival of Railway Modelling 2026 | 25 Years at Alexandra Palace - World Of Railways

Celebrate 25 years of The London Festival of Railway Modelling at Alexandra Palace on 21st–22nd March 2026! Explore 90+ exhibitors, stunning layouts, expert demos, and more in association with The Model Railway Club and World of Railways.
www.world-of-railways.co.uk

This is the modular layout operated by the Buckinghamshire Garden Railway Society (affiliate member of the G Scale Society) and, this weekend, will use three of the "modules" from the selection available, together with connecting sections, to create a 53-foot long end-to-end tramway, complete with overrhead catenary.

While it will be operated using analogue control at Ally Pally (plus radio-controlled battery-powered trams), the layouts are capable of being run under digital control, with or without catenary, to offer a tramway, an electric railway or a steam/diesel railway, while its modular form allows a variety of configurations from 80-foot end-to-end (Ally Pally March 2023) down to a 17-foot by 9-foot U-shape (Wymondham, last weekend) or even a 7-foot high layout using a rack line (Ally Pally March 2024).

If you do come along, be sure to say hello. We are in the West Hall.

Future outings are in Southampton and Guildford, both in June. Details to follow

Best wishes

I was . . . and if I did talk to you, I didn't know it was you. One other forumite made himself known and we had a brief chat (though it's hard to have a "propert chat" when you are trying to keep thinks moving for the entertainment of the public).

Cheers

No, I didn't say who I was, 'cos I'm a bit of a nightmare - but I was chatting to somebody with an impressive beard.
