FRIDAY TRAM BLOGGING. You're looking at a very limited edition offering from the St. Petersburg Tram Collection.

The prototype is the Pacific Electric double-ended suburban PCC. During World War II, Pacific Electric painted two in Navy blue with recruiting slogans.

The St. Petersburg Collection has expanded over the last eight years or so. I'm not sure what prompted an entrepreneur in St. Petersburg, Russia, to produce and sell quite detailed models, initially of Soviet and Russian trams in 1:43 scale, later expanding to models of traction and motor transport worldwide, including an extensive North American line in 1:48.
