When the 16-ton tram came at them, those waiting at the Karlovo namesti tram stop couldn't flee- a barrier separating the platform from the street blocked their way. A 59-year-old man was crushed to death and three people were critically injured in the March 16 accident, while a 64-year-old woman standing nearby was killed when the tram flung her into the path of a car. City transit officials, however, point out that such accidents are rare and call Prague's 20-year-old fleet of trams safe. The crash, the worst tram accident in Prague this year, brought the death toll involving trams to four in three months. At first officials said track failure or a breakdown with the tram itself could have been to blame. But then witnesses said the driver had taken the 90-degree turn that leads into Karlovo namesti - heading westbound from the Stepanska stop - at an unusually high speed. The speed limit there is 15 kilometers (nine miles) per hour. Police later said the tram was going 32 kilomers per hour. The front car of tram 22 stayed on track, but the back car lurched off. An eyewitness told Mlada fronta Dnes that the driver "was going like a crazy man." The driver, only identified as Jiri P., had 13 years of experience without incident, said Michaela Kucharova, spokesperson at the city's Traffic Authority, and had passed his yearly "health, psychological and procedural" exams. He suffered a nervous breakdown after the accident, said Kucharova, and his license has been suspended pending investigation. http://www.praguepost.com/archivescontent/40781-trams-called-safe-despite-accidents-deaths.html

Sorted boss.

Yup, a Dapol C034 BP. The cut down is quite easy and I will add the detail to the instructions. I have 17 left, so with 1 at €7.50 or five at €32 first come...

Well, the etches arrived in the post today, so here's how they look. The side strengthening detail is easy enough. Hold down the angle length with blue tack, hold teh trangles with a tweezers, apply superglue and slot in the designated holes....voila! The hardest part was cutting the C034 chassi to size and making sure the solebars are correctly cut...
