== Technical specifications == LVS-86 is a Russian gauge tramcar with six axles. Two equal-sized sections articulate around a central mm bogie. Each section has two electric motors which can also act as brakes, supplemented by pneumatic brakes and magnetic track brakes. The central bogie is not motorized. The motors are controlled by potentiometers or thyristors.
