In 2012, the Sapporo City Transport Bureau introduced the A1200, a three-section low-floor car made by Aruna, nicknamed Polaris (Polaris = North Star).
The A1201 has been modeled as a pre-painted model by Trolleyline, a local company in Sapporo, and I used it to create a scene of the Sapporo tramway.
The scene is set in December, just before Christmas.
The actual A1200 has never been a Christmas train yet, but we decorated the front with wreaths to give it a Christmas look. As it's winter, we've covered the cooler fans on the roof to recreate the look of only the units that aren't in operation being frozen.
The gambrel-roofed houses, which are now rare, were added to give the building a Hokkaido feel. The green house and the clinic-like building were both made by myself. This is the first time we have done this in Hokkaido.

This work was published in RM MODELS issue 233. It has been prepared with some modifications, including the addition of sagging paint on the Polaris windows.
This is a fun way to get a glimpse into the lives of those waiting for Christmas behind the scenes.
