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. We have made a special version, adding trees and dolls, and improving it to show the city covered in a light layer of snow as it starts to snow again.
This is the perfect piece to display and enjoy over the New Year's holidays.
