OcCre San Francisco – iconic cable car with strong city heritage appeal
OcCre San Francisco is a wood and metal model kit in 1:24 / G-45 scale, recreating one of the city’s famous cable cars. The model draws its character from a transport system that has been a symbol of San Francisco since Andrew S. Hallidie introduced the first cable car line on Clay Street on 2 August 1873.
For retailers, San Francisco is a tram model with very strong recognition value. The cable car system is based on a cable pulled at constant speed along the route, with the car engaging the cable through a grip mechanism and stopping when the grip is released and the brakes are applied. This technical story makes the product easy to present to customers who appreciate historic vehicles and functional mechanics.
With 594 parts and an estimated build time of around 120 hours, San Francisco is a manageable medium-level project. The model reproduces car No. 60 of the California Street fleet, built by MUNI in 1998 and based on an earlier 1906 design, giving it both modern operating history and classic city-icon status.
