A Tram (also known as tramcar or streetcar) is one of the oldest types of urban transportation. A famous San Francisco cable car was put on rails in 1873 and works to this day! UGEARS tram on rails is inspired by the first streetcars and funiculars, and is probably the most romantic model in our portfolio – apart from a ton of built-in retro flair, it can carry a love message to the other side of the table!
The model is propelled by a rubber band engine (tram mode) or can be pulled by gravity (funicular mode) when one end of the rails is tilted up with a special lever. Levers on both ends of the ‘road’ can be used to elevate the model above ground, creating a ‘bridge’.
Tram’s pantograph functions as a lever which pushes out the wind-up wheel of the rubber band engine. There’s also a start lever, direction shifter, a brake lever, and even an emergency exit to the roof. And of course, as in most of our models, there’s a storage space for something special for a person on the other end of the route.
The size of the model with the rails: 30.2*2.9*6.3 in (76.7*7.3*16 cm)
