Narrow Gauge EMU/Tram?

[Isaacg]

Hello everyone

I had the privilege of traveling to Europe again this past month, and when I was in Rome I saw the Giardinetti line(my hotel was in Borghesiana just off the Via Casilina), part of the Metropolitane. It uses the old narrow gauge railway lines that connected Rome with different parts of Lazio. I thought I would try and recreate the line in Trainz just for fun, so I've been working on a DEM of the line from Giardinetti to Laziali/Roma Termini. They use two kinds of rolling stock; an older narrow gauge EMU that looks like a tram:

and a more modern narrow gauge EMU that looks like other Tatra vehicles found in Europe(I don't think that this is a Tatra model though):

Does anyone know where I can find an EMU or Tram similar to the older EMU? I think I've seen something that looks like it around but I don't remember.

Your photo reminds me loosely of the metre guage trams which ran in Belgium in the 1930s to 1950s. I made some (admitedly poor) models of these for TRS2004 although they are compatible with later versions. They are on the DLS - look for 'Diesel Tram ...' and 'Electric Tram ...', and trailers called (surprisingly) 'Trailer Tram' if you would like to see them. (Kuid 275817 ...)

I say 'poor models' because at the time I was using integrated graphics, 250MB, and felt that anything other than a simple model - reminiscent of a card cutout kit - would be too much for my then computer to cope with. As I needed them for my own use and to satisfy a long-standing interest, I was quite happy with them Apparently others have been, too, judging by the number of downloads! But I still feel a bit hesitant to mention them ...

Just trawled up an image - there are actually four different colour versions. This is a diesel tram - the electrics have pantographs and are in single and double-ended versions.
