Harry P. Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Don't think I've posted this one before. If I have, I apologize. But maybe some of you will be seeing it for the first time. It's a 1/24 scale London double-decker tram. The kit is by Occre, a Spanish company, and is multi-media... laser-cut wooden pieces, cast white metal, brass rod you have to bend to shape for the handrails on the stairs and the guardrails on the upper level, aluminum sheet you have to form for the walls on the stairs, clear acetate for the "glass," etc. A little of everything. The "decals" are actually just printed on plain paper... you have to figure out a way to attach them! I used Future as the "glue," painted it on the surface and then embedded the paper graphics in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nacho Z Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Now that is pretty darn cool! Â I would like to see your models in person. Â That is probably what you would need to do to fully appreciate them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim B Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 That's a really neat tram.  Never heard of a kit of one of those.  Very well done.  Did it come with any tracks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeeBee Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Superb work, as usual Harry, I've seen these kits listed a few times, but never seen one built up, could be an interesting project, I always like to build something a little different ...

sjordan2 Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Very cool. I think you posted a similar bus before, not a tram. I bet others would like to see some shots in this thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTalmage Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 This is going to sound silly, but my favorite part is the first step into it is weathered.. Exactly what you'd see on a real mass public transportation vehicle. Beautiful work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Bacon Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 That looks fantastic, Harry!And what a coincidence -- that route ran right past the house I used to live in in South London in the late 80s (not that the trams, or even lines were still there, mind -- it wasn't the 1910s!). The depot that they started from was down in central Woolwich, and the power station that drove them was in this building:https://goo.gl/maps/ryzcGfFwsWG2which, by the time I lived there, had become one of London's first comedy clubs and a popular music venue:http://www.glypt.co.uk/tramshed/I saw Billy Bragg there, and Wilko Johnson's band played a storming evening...Anyway, enough of my nostalgia. Fabulous model, and probably rather large. Have you ever posted a picture of your "big Boyz" display area?bestest,M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry P. Posted March 22, 2016 Author Share Posted March 22, 2016 It's not really all that big... maybe 11-12 inches long. It's only 1/24 scale, not "big" scale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CometMan Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 No tracks.Harry, if you are interested in tracks, scenery, etc. for your trams or other railroad related subjects "G" scale electric train stuff measures out to 1/24, and is made by several manufacturers.
