The GLR Tram Mod is an extended, modified and enhanced version of the original Light Rail Mod, created by daeley and mikeseith. There are four different tram stations included for each set. Each tram station has a different color (blue, green, red and yellow), which spawns tram automata of the same color. With this setup, it's possible to create four different tram lines in one city by using a specific tram station color along each line. There are three sets:
- regular GLR stations (3x1 tiles)
- regular GLR-avenue stations (2x2 tiles)
- GLR-avenue roundabout stations (2x2 tiles)
The GLR-avenue stations are new. The regular GLR stations have not changed from the previous version published on SimCityPlaza and SC4Devotion in 2007. They differ from the original version published on Simtropolis and SimsZone in 2005, though. If you are still using this old version, please remove it from your plugins folder in order to avoid malfunctions. Note: If you build railway tracks parallel to the GLR tracks, it is possible that trams are showing up on these tracks as well. This is something that cannot be helped, so try to avoid building these two networks too close to each other.
The GLR tram stations work the same as the in-game el-rail stations and will also be visited by regular el-trains. Depending on the el-train skin that is installed, this mixture between el-trains and trams is probably unwanted, so a controller file is included (BSC_SFBT_glr_light_rail_no_el-train_automata.dat), that supresses the in-game el-train automata completely. However, this is only a visual effect, the el-rail stations itself still function as normal, transporting commuters etc. If you have long stretches of el-rail, you may notice that they seem to be empty, but querying them with the route query tool will show you that they are used as before. Since the trams use the small green "track checker" model as a base, this one will be supressed as well - that shouldn't be an issue for most players, though.
All four tram vehicles can be used in "U Drive It" mode, too. To distinguish them from each other, the control panels are color coded with the respective tram color. When you installed the el-train automata supressor file, the UDI icon for the standard el-train that comes with the NAM will be removed, too. If your build railway tracks parallel to GLR tracks, it is possible that the UDI trams are showing up on these tracks as well. In this case, quit the UDI mode with pressing [ESC] and try it again. Attention: Please also note the hints in the "Compatibility" paragraph of the readme file, otherwise errors may occur, and the mod might not work as intended!

crotalusco | Love the look of these and the color options, but the other two models need a high capacity fix | 2011-12-13 |
tarmiji | thanks | 2011-11-10 |
Gurning_Chimp | I love the fact that you can come up with your own lines, however in UDI you can\'t drive the trams through the stations | 2011-10-07 |

simbenfica | great mod | 2011-02-04 |
gecko001 | these are excellent stations;the high capacity plugins for the regular in-avenue stations are very nice; wish there were high-capacity dat files for the roundabouts. good work! | 2010-07-27 |
MrKevin1a | I like this mod as an ad on to the one in the NAM, because of the colour coding. It is so much more realistic to have to think out lines, than to have the game come up with them itself and have all the trains look alike. | 2010-05-01 |
Andreas | @Warrior5: Just download the current version from the LEX. All new versions are backward compatible, of course. | 2009-12-14 |

ccs | this is sweet ive always wanted a tram system | 2009-04-21 |
MelloHero | Slight problem for me... nobody comes to them save those who live within a two-minute walk. Bus networks be damned; no one will use my trams except the neighbors and workers at the station. Plus it crashes now and then when trying to work with puzzle pieces, but that\'s hardly your fault. | 2009-03-09 |

Vulpine | When I try to use the Avenue and Avenue Roundabout stations, the props (walls, people etc.) all show up but there are no ground textures (road/tracks) so they won\'t work. I have both dependencies and followed the readme instructions. Please help. | 2008-10-31 |
