Kato's "My Tram Classic" is a really good product, and I think the yellow and white version already looks vaguely like a Caixote postwar tram from Lisbon, as do the corresponding trailers:

Hello everyone. The results are in! :D

After collecting all the data from the different forums, servers and chatrooms, the most voted vehicle was the English Electric Class 1400 Diesel Locomotive!
In second place came the Pendolino Class 4000, and in third came the Class 2240 EMUs.

But the results change between Portuguese voters and non-Portuguese voters:
  • From Portuguese voters, the most votes went to the Class 2240 EMUs, followed by the Class 1400 then the Class 4000. The trams nearly got no votes at all.
  • From non-Portuguese voters, the winner was a tie between the Class 1400 and the Class 4000 Pendolino. Surprisingly, the Class 5600 Electric Locomotive got the third highest number of non-Portuguese votes!
  • The trams got three times more non-Portuguese votes than Portuguese votes.
  • While the Class 2240 EMUs had the most Portuguese votes, it got the least amount of non-Portuguese votes, being tied for last with the Porto vintage trams.
Considerations about this vote:
  1. Each voter was only given one choice, so priorities had to be taken into account when voting.
  2. Only currently active vehicles were up for vote.
  3. Only vehicles that run country-wide were up for vote, with the exception being the two iconic trams.
  4. The Class 2600 was completely overlooked, and I'm sorry if this was your preferred choice!
