Welcome to the official St.-Petersburg Tram Collection
website where we offer the latest information regarding our O-scale models
of the transit vehicles all around the world.
Our business philosophy is to design, develop and construct the most accurate
fully finished O-scale models of trams (or streetcars), trolleybuses (or trackless
trolleys), buses, rapid transit cars, racing transporter and Highway Post Offices
and offer them at price that is affordable.
The St.-Petersburg Tram Collection was established in 1996 to manufacture
tram, trolleybus and bus models from St.-Petersburg, Russia. Our first model
was an 1949 Leningrad LM-49 Motor Car with LP-49 trailer car (Ref.1 in our range),
now discontinued. As the demand for models all around the world grew, we added
more transit models to our range, which is now the biggest in the O-scale. We
offer the models in North American O-scale (1:48), European O (1:43)
and Japanese O (1:45) to meet the demand from all countries.
All our models are of limited edition series and they are authenticated by a
numbered Limited Edition Certificate. Once they are sold no more will be made.
We are always happy to answer to any questions, please don't hestitate
to contact us at any time.
Happy Collecting,
St.-Petersburg Tram Collection Team
