Very interesting. Please can you explain how the main power/brake controller is used? I assumed that turning the wheel to the right, into the blue, is power, and turning to the left, into the red, is braking. However the wheel is in the red a lot and the tram doesn't seem to brake until the wheel is in the second band. The blue band has speeds in kph listed, so do these trams have cruise control? Do these trams have Thyristor control or the more old fashioned cam-shaft control? Do they use regenerative or resistive braking? I am keen to find out. Sorry for writing in English but I tried to write this in German and it was a mess!

Yes, they use cruise control: The right side sets a lower, the left side an upper speed limit. On the right side the vehicle will accelerate to the intended speed, but it may exceed that speed if the tracks go downhill. In that case you need the left side, where the vehicle will decelerate to the intended speed and not exceed it. The yellow part of the left side is purely for braking, it includes 8 different braking levels including the emergency brake. They have thyristor control and regenerative braking.

@@zurichtramvideos5160 Thank you very much for replying, that's very interesting. Considering these trams date from the 1970s that's very sophisticated. Most other trams I have seen either have a "Notched" controller with something like 16 power settings, or they use a combined brake and power controller without cruise control. These trams look very well built and seem nice to drive.
