(pics) How about something very different: O-Scale Toronto streetcar
These CLRV (Canadian Light Rail Vehicles) cars replaced Toronto's aging PCC cars in the early '80s, and they, in turn, have now been replaced by modern Bombardier light rail cars.
This 1/48 resin model was marketed by 'St Petersberg Tram Collection' many years ago, and I just supplied my own track base setup and display case. I have no concern at all about displaying it among my 1/43 cars and trucks

What great details! The doors, the roof mechanicals! Is it in a Toronto street scene?

I have quite a few of St Petersburg......
Buses and Trolley cars. All are vintage pieces. I will photograph them and post them on the Forum. These are really accurate and very detailed. I have one that ran on Snyder Ave. in Philadelphia right past my wife's corner when she was a teenager. I sold many of these years ago.

Those are PCC (Presidents Conference Comittee) cars, designed in the late '30s, and the ones........
that the CLRV streetcars gradually replaced beginning in the early '80s. Corgi has made a variety of diecast 0-Gauge PCC models using various liveries, including 'Toronto Transit Comission'.
