GreenLight has announced a new and unique 1:64-scale casting that will be available in early 2017. Check out the pre-production samples of the upcoming Wellington Cable Car No. 1 and No. 2. The new exclusives will be available only at the Wellington Cable Car Gift Shop in New Zealand.

I'm all for this! Too bad it's a NZ exclusive though.

How about some San Francisco cable cars?

Any other towns with cable cars come to mind?

I hope they release this with the 'South Lake Union Trolley' livery eventually.

:thumbup: Those are neat. Interesting that the first release will be for the New Zealand market. I used to have a contact in New Zealand in the old MCCH days but lost track of him when that forum shut down. A lot of cities had cable cars/trollies at one time - San Francisco would be a natural choice to me. The year I lived in the bay area the system was shut down for renovations. :(

Toronto still has them, I'd never take a TTC bus if a streetcar route is an option. :unsure:

Should be popular with the S-Scale train enthusiasts.

You know, GL should branch into the railroad scales of 1/87 (HO) 1/160 (N), and 1/220 (Z). It would do well.


Interesting piece. Curious what's underneath. Railroad trucks or tires.

Not one I'm crazy about--but a piece unique enough to get if it's got a more widespread release as a regular casting. Maybe GL will do emergency services agencies out of NZ later on.

Looking at the photos, you can see a bit of reflection on the surface which the cars are standing, and it appears to look like train wheels.

That will be a very nice cable car. Will be a "Must" for the collection! :thumbup:

Cool! Tomica has success with its trains in Japan, I wonder if there could be a market for some trains elsewhere.

Angel's Flight in L.A.

Not a cable car, but the old Red Car in L.A. would be good too.
