Hallo Mick Duncan, I found my old diapos of 1977, with the derailed tramcar on the main intersection before Bochum railway station. You'll see that the Rescue...
HÃ¥kon, Very interesting low floor car. From the truck arrangement, it would appear that the car rides very smoothly and is comfortable for the riders. What ...
