| Hongkong Tramways
is one of the earliest forms of public transport in Hong Kong. The tramway
runs on the northern side of Hong Kong Island between Shau Kei Wan and
Kennedy Town, with a branch circulating Happy Valley. Each day 240,000
residents commute by tram. Trams in Hong Kong have not only been a form
of transport for over 100 years, but also a major tourist attraction and
one of the most environmentally friendly mass transit systems.
Several models have been produced over the years and these pages attempt to record them. It is far from complete and I would be grateful to receive any missing information or photographs. Please e-mail me if are able to assist. My special thanks to Andrew Shirley for his assistance in providing both information and photographs. Thanks also to Alan E Moore, Phil Allcorn and Stefan König for their help and information. |

The first new tram
models for over eight years were released in July 2010 by 80M Bus Model
Shop. The first three are actually based on the Peak Horse tram and carry
the inscription 'Peak Horse Toys' on the base plate. The fourth release
features a new casting.

| Bachmann China issued five 1/76th scale trams towards the end of January 2011. They feature a plastic body with a diecast bogie with one axle being motorised together with a working LED headlight. All appear to have been licensed by Hong Kong Tramways. |
