      it is so easy, isn't it?

      Yes, but also lacks challenge or sense of achievement. Great to help you ideate though.

                @jo-ke as a train enthusiast has 3D printing become the better approach to model making than buying kits?

                Those earlier prints look great.

                I know 3D printing has changed table top gaming. Is it the same for train modelling?

                  In 3D printing I am able to get models that don‘t exist. There are not many Tramwaymodels on the market and most time they are not good ones. Here I. Am get exactly what I want. But it is a lot of work and takes much of time.

                      I’m running out of accolades for your wonderful trains and trams. A simple fantastic will have to do. I’ve always wondered how difficult it is to acquire dimensional plans and drawings for these little marvels ?

                          @L-i-am it is just the simple Nano Banana on gemini.

                          i used that prompt:

                          "Photographic image of the interior of a tram in 1975, traveling through the vineyards between Ellerstadt and Gönnheim, smoking passengers, conductor with money changer and uniform checking tickets, keep geometrie, bright sunny day at fall"
