How UGears Tram Line Model Works
Tram car: equipped with an overhead pantograph for stepping it up to “drive” mode and a knob for opening and closing doors. Wind it up and watch it chug along the rails towards the Depot. Rotate it at a 180 degrees on the turntable and see it move to the end of the line. All the motion is powered up by a simple rubber-band motor.
Tram stop: placed on the platform and complete with a clock, a bench, a ticket booth and a removable staircase that can be placed at any part of the platform.Tram depot: featuring a gate and a turntable, Tram Depot is the place where the tram prepares for the next trip according to the route timetable. A turntable is equipped with a special “tongue” on its rails that stops the tram in a closed position, reclining after the turn of the turntable, allowing the tram to enter the return route.
