Model Forum / General / Models / August 2006cable car cobble
i finally found 2 of the hawk cabl car kits for cheap money. what i can't find are decent shots of dummies. mostly the interior shots. i suspect that the area where the gripman was would be more seats. i'd like pics of the style. i believe the hawk cable car is what's called a california car, that being two open platforms ends with an enclosed center enetered by sliding doors. short rides could stay on the platform, (and sometimes duck fares like we did as kids) or you could enter and sit. in shitty weather, inside would be bo city, (people STANK until the early 60's)and crowded. any pics anyone knows of? I think those hawk kits represent the San Francisco Cable cars including the ones they currently use. I may have a pic or two of those if you need them. If you google "San Francisco Cable Car Interior" and then click on the image tab, there are lots of pictures there (:> >I think those hawk kits represent the San Francisco Cable cars >including the ones they currently use.

Check this link.........is this what you are talking about? Sorry.....forgot to paste in the link......here it it (:> http://www.cablecarmuseum.org/archive/Histcars/Histcars.html > Sorry.....forgot to paste in the link......here it it (:> > > http://www.cablecarmuseum.org/archive/Histcars/Histcars.html Looking at the photo entitled: "Clay Street Hill Railroad train illustrates what open-grip car (dummy) No.8 with trailer No.1 would have looked like running on Clay Street." Well sir, Nitto made a 1:60 (IIRC) Horse-drawn Streetcar that looks a ~lot~ like the "trailer No.1" I have a copy that I was thinking of unloading on eBay. Let me via e-mail (so I could send you a picture of the box art) know if you're interested. The kit is somewhat toy-like (pre-colored, with some brass plating - too shiny) with no figures. The horses need some accurization as well and the kit needs some detailing (grips, brake levers and brake lines comr to mind). I repainted my copy, and added most of the things I could find on line. The copy that I'm selling would need those things added. >> Sorry.....forgot to paste in the link......here it it (:> >> [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] >I could find on line.
