San Francisco cable car by kgstakes - OcCre

[kgstakes]

Starting a new build this afternoon.  It’ll be a slow build since I have another winter project going as well (finishing basement) so this one might take awhile, but will be enjoyable to build.

 

i plan on powering it so I can have it running around the room (at the ceiling) in the hobby workshop.

I took the liberty of editing your title for you, since no respectable Bay Area residents I know of call a San Francisco streetcar a trolley -- they are cable cars. 😉

That is so true. And the cable is running below the surface of the pavement and rails. A very clever and advanced design.

Some work was done yesterday not much just enough to get me feet wet.

 

 

 

the seats are just sitting there not attached yet.

Little more progress today.  Been slow going but I'm also remodeling/finishing the basement at the same time so that takes priority over modeling.

Pictures show test fitting everything before I start on the "cabin" area (painting, windows, doors, etc.  Benches still need some touch up and finial coat of clear finish.

 

Been a pretty straight forward build - wish the picture directions were in English but with the text directions, I can follow and go by the pictures.
