Harry P. Posted March 22, 2016 Posted March 22, 2016 Same company (Occre) that makes the London tram I posted earlier. Same type of 1/24 scale multi-media kit (laser-cut wood parts, cast white metal, brass rod, wooden strips, plain paper "decals," etc.) This model represents the first electric tram in Berlin, it's route was actually in the West Berlin suburbs (Westliche Berliner Vorortbahn). It remained in service until 1943, at which point Berlin was basically a wreck.
Ramfins59 Posted March 22, 2016 Posted March 22, 2016 Very nice Harry. You sure have eclectic tastes in model building...... a little of this and a little of that...... All done very well.
Crazy Ed Posted March 22, 2016 Posted March 22, 2016 Another well detailed Wonder Harry! That'd look good sitting next to a San Francisco Cable Car. They share alot of visual features.
Harry P. Posted March 22, 2016 Author Posted March 22, 2016 Like one of these? Yep, it's my model. Same company, same type of model.

Cato Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 Beautify thing to see first time or multiple times. Glad to see you posting builds again! Boy these Occres should be in a BOOK Harry....

Jim B Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 Another cool tram car.I agree with you about Berlin in 1943. Not much left.
Plastheniker Posted April 10, 2016 Posted April 10, 2016 Another great model, I love it! IMO it is even more attractive than its London counterpart.Did you consider a vignette similar to the one with the cable car? A section of cobbled street, street car rails and tram wire would be rather easy to make and would look great.

I scratchbuilt the base on the San Francisco cable car... I guess I could do the same here!
Jim B Posted April 11, 2016 Posted April 11, 2016 Occre makes one for their Lisbon tram, maybe they'll make one for their Berlin tram eventually.http://www.occre.com/model-diorama/pack-diorama-lisboa.html
Harry P. Posted April 11, 2016 Author Posted April 11, 2016 Yeah, that's a pretty cool dio, I've seen it before. But I prefer the "DIY" way...
sjordan2 Posted April 11, 2016 Posted April 11, 2016 (edited) I managed to track down the original tram (triebwagen 40) at www.tramdepot14.deEvidently photographed at one point in its life with some sort of cow catcher. You probably already found it, but I thought there might be some cues there for a base. Edited April 11, 2016 by sjordan2
