At HKTram, when one track separates into two tracks, there is a VECOM radio-controlled point machine and an Czech Elektroline overhead frog. The radio system identifies the tram about 2 metres before the switch. But when two tracks merge into one track, a spring point machine and a spring frog is used. They don't need to be operated, trams just go pass them directly. (There are still some manual point machines and overhead frogs in depots)
Thanks for the interesting video. Could you explain in more detail how the wheels change direction. I no the points give it direction but how do the wheels ride over the crossed lines. they make a lot of noise as the cross.
Is that a Maley-Taunton brake interlock? I just wonder how it works… The tram controllers in HK are equipped with Maley-Taunton brake interlocks but I can't figure out how they work
I would like to Start a Tram Company by Gifting two Season Tickets of my Tram Services so kindly suggest a suitable plan for me to start my Tram Company
@@ianpegge9967 The voltage remains 240vac and has not changed , the 230vac ' label' is just a E.U. fudge as some E.U. countries c have 220vac , 230vac and UK 240vac.

What an Amazing Video!, and very Interesting too.
Really interesting.
I hope to visit one day,
I also enjoy watching the live steam.
I like your video .😁👌👌
This is amazing video.😄😄
I am from India ,but unfortunately in india only two old tramway is available.
It would be nice if somebody produced some technical arrangements of the trams. :)
How do you slow down and stop? And what is the wheel for that a lot of Blackpool trams have that the drivers never seem to use?

Alternating Current changes direction in your case 50 times each second. Direct as a fixed positive an$ negative.
That was very interesting thank you

Same with train have a deadman devaice
I like to know how a gas tram works using gas.
I will never see you real in the nice UK
Mains voltage in Uk is 240V AC, not 230 vac.
Actually since 2003 230 volts AC is the actual supply voltage in the UK
@@ianpegge9967 rubbish, put a voltmeter in circuit.
It can be -6% or + 10%. But the nominal voltage since 2003 is 230 volts AC. And the supply on my property in Sussex is 231 volts AC.
