    Hi Terry
    Welcome to a great forum. It would be nice to see pictures of your trams, a subject we rarely see. The Bentley is an iconic kit.

                  Terry,
                  It's a very warm welcome from me. That is a great looking build I look forward to seeing you and your builds around the site.

                    Welcome Terry,
                    Nice tram! I can just remember the last tram in Sheffield - 1960! & several visits to the Tramway Museum in Crich
                    A bit of a change of scale, from 7mm to 1/12!
                    Dave

                      Hi Terry. Welcome to the forum. Lovely scratchbuilt tram, and great to see it weathered rather than museum condition. What is your material of choice for those?

                          Hi terry welcome to the forum , tram looks superb , excuse my ignorance but what would 7mm equate to in ratio scales ie. 1/72 , 1/48 etc ? Cheers tony

                            It equates to 1/43 scale. Always seems odd how metric and imperial are used together like that.
