Close - but even geekier! For a couple of years I've been tinkering around with building a backyard AGT system. I think if I pull it off I'll be the only person in the world with one... I even got approval from the City of Kitchener for a "600 mm wide concrete garden path"

FLEXITY 2 is a European product - Freedom is the North-American variant with some changes focused more on differences between operations in Europe and North America. I was thinking Gold Coast was the only customer (G:link) and forgot about Blackpool. The Wikipedia article gives a pretty good overview. Keep in mind the name only designates the chassis and core design - the exterior is totally customizable per customer, so the tram in the photo above is just a concept photo, not one that any particular city has gone with. I'm personally not really a fan of any of the designs - G:link's is the best of the bunch, but I hate that teardrop shaped window in the driver's cab...
