Wow, A Must See. Street Car & Bus O Scale

Beautiful models, but definitely not cheap, especially when one considers the additional cost of powering them.  Still, I wish I had (and could afford) one of each of those wonderful Baltimore models.

I love the electric buses. They still have them in San Francisco. Don

I just found they have made Australian trams. I hope they are still available, very nice models.

Where are you folks seeing the prices on these fine models?

Potrzbe, I went to the authorized distributor (they are listed on the web site) yikes the buses are over $400. I think I will skip them for now. Don

One of the distributors is in the town where I do part time work.  400 is a fair piece of change for something made in Russia.  Perhaps they've improved manufacturing but their copies of Lionel accessories some years back bordered on pathetic.

The only ones I've seen are the bridge units and they were very good and made about ten years ago. This SF street car is at a hobby store now in San Francisco. It's very nice but at that price......As they say in Texas..El Paso. Don

still don't see any prices on that web site

I've followed a few eBay auctions for their Milwaukee Electric (TMER&L) cars and prices have been in the $200-250 bracket for secondhand, excellent to like new. I've thought about it, they are really nice models, but I have other priorities for that kind of money.

Yikes! Over $1200 for an Australian tram, they are resin cast, not brass, and are NOT powered, that's extra!

Not only the price.  I liked the old green and white livery and the old San Francisco Municipal Railway logo.  Matt

I love the electric buses.  They still have them in San Francisco.

As well as Boston, Dayton, Philadelphia, and Seattle.  They are aka "trackless trolleys."

The detail and painting are amazing.  My attention was caught by the Crown HYPO, since I own a restored 1960 Crown Supercoach school bus which I take to truck shows and parades.

This is a Corgi PCC that I powered using GHB 3-rail trucks.

I also added the passengers to the interior.

Yikes!   They cost more than some locomotives, and they're not even powered or lighted!

john,

where do you see the price's on their website.

To all:

just click on the model you're interested in....it will take you to a page where a box appears giving item picture and description....there is a link within the body of the copy that says available through....it will list USA/Canada dealers....click on that link and it will give your the dealers and their website links....where up on their websites they will tell you model costs, etc....

The better Trolley & Traction models are not "cheap".  Most are in low limited production numbers directed to what is a rather smaller segment of the hobby as a whole.  Factor in O scale and then the numbers drop precipitously. 

Ther are a number of brass trolleys and traction engines that I would like to have, but most are $400-$600 and unpowered (figure $300 for apair of drives) and unpainted w/o interior details (another $50-75) for the former, and the latter since powered are quite a bit more in price.  The cost of a quality paint job is not insignificant.

I believe the website Don has posted does not show priceing

1) go to the website in Dons 1st post

2) choose a collection,

3) then usually have 4-5 choices of different styles

4) click on 1 of those busses

5) that will click on a style, and in the description, you will see USA/CANADA Dealers

   click, on that , and you will get  your websites for dealers,  click on that   TA-DA !

Do I hear an echo?.....

They are somewhat far afield from model trains in my view, more like price inflated die cast transportation collectibles which I think Corgi is more in line with most budgets with a reasonable price to cover the addition of power conversions. For my tastes, they are overly priced dust collectors unless display only is your thing in terms of die cast collecting which more or less exists in it's own universe.
