In 1940, a grinding car was built for the Aachen tramway by the Schörling company on the basis of an old railcar from 1895. The vehicle was designated TSS1 and was in service until the end of operation in 1974. The vehicle was also part of the farewell parade.
Except for the 2x2x2 roof tiles in orange, the model can be built entirely from original bricks. The model is not motorized. However, this should be feasible by means of Circuit Cube. Space inside is available.
Similar vehicles were in service in other cities, both standard gauge and meter gauge.
About the Designer:
Thomas was born towards the end of the 1960s. I work in IT for public transport. I mostly build in 1:42 scale for large radii. As a child I sawed, drilled, cut and painted bricks. Someone like that doesn't become a purist as an adult. If there are gaps in the abundant Danish offer, I sometimes print parts with the 3D printer or fall back on other manufacturers. My enthusiasm for railways was awakened and encouraged at the "Schwäbischen Eisenbahn" was awakened and encouraged in the 1980s. My workplace is in Aachen. All this is also reflected in many of my models.
