Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and all that.
Time for the Christmas gift, and it's a double bill this year. Presenting:
- The Wirral Heritage Tramway -
- Liverpool Bogie Streamliner Tram -
This was a bit of a chicken & egg project as I had the plan for the tram first, but built the route first as I had changed plan from my original route idea, thinking that it wouldn't be ready in time for Christmas. And as such the tram doesn't exactly fit with the route but artistic licence should make it fit.
The Wirral Heritage Tramway is a 1.1km preservation tramway (I suppose you could say in TS terms it's more of a diorama than a full route) that runs from the Wirral Transport Museum sheds to the Woodside Ferry Terminal, along Birkenhead Docks. It's been fully signalled with tram signals, I've done my best to get some townscape detailing in and though it doesn't come with QuickDrive owing to its small size, it should be an interesting run for some.

The Liverpool Bogie Streamliner tram is a facsimile of the Liverpool tram of the same name, based off of 869 at Crich. It drives pretty much the same as the Glasgow Coronation. It has cab/interior views, the trolley pole and seats turn to the direction of travel, and you can change the tram number in full and also the destination blind and route number using the autonumber (all listed in the manual). It also comes with headlight flares.
Requirement:

I have also updated the Glasgow Coronation pack with a fix for the banner glass flickering, and also added the same headlight flares as present on the Liverpool Bogie Tram.

In a couple of days time, I will see about outlining some of the plans I have for content over the next year and beyond.
Enjoy the trams and Merry Christmas all!
