jan_12 Posted April 10 Posted April 10 (edited) I made this model in 1:16 scale for the upcoming grand exhibition in Dubrovnik, Croatia, this summer. It will celebrate 115 years since the first ride of the local tramway in 1910. It's a model of tram no. 7, which arrived in October 1911. Today it's preserved in the Technical Museum in Zagreb. The photos were taken in our workshops, where we are currently restoring the real trams. The curators told me it's one of their favorite exhibits :) Edited April 10 by jan_12 Quote
Shiva Posted April 11 Posted April 11 That is quite good. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trams_in_Dubrovnik Quote
LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted April 11 Posted April 11 Wonderful tram, extremely well-finished in details ...an absolute work of art! The decals complete the work masterfully! Quote
idlemarvel Posted April 11 Posted April 11 Wonderful model almost perfect. Would make a great Icons set or similar theme. Quote

zephyr1934 Posted April 15 Posted April 15 Oh wow, the interior is very detailed, looking great Quote
lucajuventino Posted April 15 Posted April 15 Really a very great work! Very detailed and with realistic details of a historical tram. Quote
jan_12 Posted June 15 Author Posted June 15 (edited) I thought it would be a shame not to pair my tramcar with its trailer car; most older folks remember them fondly, as many rode them on the footplate as kids, sometimes to avoid conductors, others to enjoy the summer breeze as the tram trundled right along the coast from the port towards the Old town. There were eight trailer cars and 14 motor cars of the Dubrovnik tramway, built in small batches from 1910 up until the 1930s. The last batch of four tramcars arrived from Sarajevo, Bosnia, in 1962 and 1963, after being extensively modified to look similar to the trams that were at the time running in Zagreb. There are still a few details and a bit of lining to attend to, but other than that, it's ready to go. Edited June 15 by jan_12 Quote
