A tram in a week! Well almost! I have got as far as I can for now. Unfortunately I got the geometry of the front windows a bit wrong so have included a revised version on the next etch which has been sent off. Also on order is an etch that has all the bogies and chassis for 16 trams. The wheels ,however, are a bit further behind although I have now finished the 3d printed masters which will now be sent off to our friends in Birmingham's Jewelry Quarter to be turned into Nickel Silver castings. Shapeways had a money off offer on Monday so several roofs are now on their way also. 

So, here are all the bits for the chassis frames and a few minutes later the assembled frames ready for their 3d printed springs and axel boxes fresh off the printer.

Here is a slightly novel use for the bending bars being very useful with a few magnets for keeping everything straight and level for soldering. And the finished frames, surprisingly sturdy.

A few bits to be added later - advertising boards and the controllers  And now the almost finished body, the block of wood is epoxied on to protect the undercarriage in the absence of anything useful like wheels!
