Hi.
This is the first message that I send here. I'm Ivan Furlanis, an Italian tram enthusiast. I'm working on my first tramway route, called Bisuschio-Viggiù (SATV). It's inspired by the ononymous line that once ran in Lombardy near Varese. At present all the tracks is laid down and I'm finishing to place buildings and vegetation. I use as cars the T24 tram by Nandi downoladed from page:

This is a beautiful car, but it has a problem. When I use in the activities I cannot load and unload passengers stopping at platforms, I think because MSTS considers T24 an "engine" and not a "passenger car". Is there a trick to correct this problem?
Two words about my route. Actual SATV was opened in 1912 and closed down in 1951. It had a lenght of about 2 km and connected the little town of Viggiù with the railway station of Bisuschio/Viggiù. Respect to the real line, I added wyes at the termini to turn trams and a spur to a quarry in Viggiù. Actual SATV carried stones from Viggiù to the railway station but I don't know if there was a dedicated spur to load this freight.
In the shot, a car has just leaved the terminus in Viggiù. Most of the route runs in streets with car traffic, so it's possibile to race with it ;-)
Ciao, Ivan
