It's finally finished!

Luas full length by Duq, on Flickr

I've been wanting to build a Luas for a long time. I started about a year ago, when I got the general concept for the cars figured out, but then abandoned it for a while. Sometimes the inspiration just isn't there...
Anyway, over the past few weeks I figured out the cabin, the connections between the sections, improved the doors, which required a different way of doing the roof....

The middle section still uses the first concept for the roof, using brackets for the thin yellow line. The outer sections use flags instead, as the plate part of the brackets got in the way of the doors.

It's powered by a 9V train motor in the middle and it can manage the tight curves:

It does have a bit of an overhang, so don't park close to the tracks
