Hi Hsin,

For something a bit closer than Europe, you might try this retailer in Adelaide, Australia.
http://www.orientexpressmodels.com.au/FlexTram.htm

There are many manufacturers of trams in Japan, but I don't know any links to get you there.

Kimball

For masts and catanary, have a look at Sommerfeldt. Or at Hobbex

Special track systems are provided by Lunatram

Roco and Lima/Rivarossi have a few models of Düwag trams, which were typicall for Western Germany and Austria from the 1960s to the 1990s.

For Eastern European "Tatra" trams, MB Modely from Czechia is a good adress. Also Hermann und Partner from Eastern Germany are specialized on Tatra trams and special Eastern German models. The products of these two firms, however, are coming as kits.

British manufacturer "BEC Kits" provides a choice of whitemetal tram kits.

If you are interested, I could also recommend a number of small-series manufacturers.

Regards,
Florian

Hi Iamnotthecrazyone

Thanks for providing me with the good link but I still have some enquries confused for these products.

I reviewed this web and noticed the column displayed "without drive / with drive. For some " with drive " trams equip with digital interface (NEM 625), do these represent DCC READY ? Should I buy decorder separately ? What does "same with lights " mean ? No LED or bulb lumination inside the car ? Is the pantograph dummy or really available ?

I'll try to clarify altough some things may have changed since I bought mine. To the best of my knowledge the ones that mention the digital interface will have an 8 pin (I think) connector for you to buy your own decoder. When lights are mentioned (extra cost) you only get headlights and perhaps red lights (like in mine) but no interior lights. The panthographs are dummy, current is taken from the rails like in a regular 2 rail set up. You are likely to be able to wire the panthographs to use it but I think you could complicate things unnecesarily. In my trams the construction is mainly made in a push and clip basis, they are fragile but from the things I have seen they are among the most detailed and better looking trams. They also have a very large selection which goes from very early to modern trams. Since my layout is far from finished I have only tested the trams, they run very well and the mechanism looks well designed.

If they say without drive it is only a dummy, not a working tram.

here is another link to a manufacturer from Austria:

Thanks for sharing with your experience making me more clear for this scope.
To follow up the other maiin manufacturers' development like M / R / F the manufacturers producing tram models seems to have a long way to go.

Thanks for the link

I've review this web but no english translation found.

The startset in this product seems not to include tracks / catenaries or controler but a motorized car and a trailer.
