OcCre Istanbul – Taksim-Tünel tram with living city history
OcCre Istanbul is a wooden and metal model kit in 1:24 / G-45 scale, recreating the historic Taksim-Tünel tram. The model connects to Istanbul’s public transport history, from the foundation of the city’s tramway company in 1870 to the reopening of the Taksim-Tünel line as a tourist tram in 1990.
For retailers, Istanbul offers strong place identity and colourful urban character. The story of the line’s development, nationalisation in 1939 and return after the closure of Istanbul’s tram lines in the 1960s makes the kit easy to present to customers who enjoy historic city environments and public transport with personality.
With 912 parts and an estimated build time of around 100 hours, Istanbul is a manageable intermediate-level project. It suits customers who want to build something other than ships and locomotives, while still getting a wooden and metal kit with clear history, decorative appeal and a strong connection to a famous city.
