MODEL TRAMS

 
 

 

Two commercially available 4mm (1/76th) scale 'white metal' kits of Blackburn trams have been produced by specialist model tram kit manufacturer TRAMALAN.

These are: 'Milnes' enclosed bogie car and 'UEC' enclosed single deck bogie car.

The 'masters' to make the model were made by myself for TRAMALAN and, naturally, are my favourite tram kit.

I have used several TRAMALAN kits to produce other variations of the prototype, which are shown here.

Also in 4mm scale TRAMALAN produced a model of the DARWEN streamline car, again with 'masters' for the kit made by myself.

No models have been produced in other scales, though specialist 7mm scale model manufacturer Terry Russell was commissioned to produce a model of an enclosed Blackburn 'Milnes' car, images of which can be see on this page.
