- Rail transport modeling includes not only model trains or steam locomotives, but also streetcars and tramways. Therefore, when the world’s largest model railroad exhibition was expanded a few months ago with a new model railroad layout of Rio de Janeiro, model streetcars and model trams were also included. That is why an indispensable element of the South American model train layout is the famous Santa Teresa Tram, the historic tramway line of Rio de Janeiro in Brazil.
The old tramway connects the city center with the neighbourhood of Santa Teresa, located in the hills southwest of downtown. Today, the tram line is mainly maintained as a tourist attraction. Nowadays it is considered a heritage tramway system, having been designated a national historic monument in 1985. Having run continuously since its opening in 1877, it is one of the oldest street railway lines in the world. Having been electrically powered since 1896, it is also the oldest electric railway in all of Latin America.
The old streetcar rattles daily through the narrow streets and on the Carioca Aqueduct both in reality and on the model railway layout in HO scale. The scale models consist of two-axle railcars. Painted bright yellow, the trams are often overcrowded and passengers stand on the running boards. The replicas are open on the sides and offer about 30 seats on wooden benches for passengers. The model streetcar is regularly powered via the tracks, but the model trams simulate how the electric power from the overhead lines is picked up by pantographs.
Apart from the electric trolley streetcars, the model rail layout of Rio de Janeiro was built in perfect museum quality by the staff at Miniatur Wunderland in Hamburg, Germany, and by the family business Martinez, better known as United Scale Arts, in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The family business Martinez is known, among other things, for building the magnificent miniature world called Gulliver’s Gate near Times Square in Manhattan in New York.

Amazing old world layout , we are the inheritors not the constructors.
perfeito
Wundervoll einfach!
Das ist sicher aus dem Bessilien-Rio de Janeiro-Teil vom "MiWuLa"oder nicht?
Um dia ainda vou fazer um bondinho de Santa Teresa em HO para a minha maquete. Mas não vai ser com impressora 3D, como os alemães fizeram...
Andei muito nesses bondinhos, socam horrivelmente e volta e meia o pantógrafo sai do cabo e tem que ser recolocado. Eles tinham sempre uma corda pendurada na ponta para ajudar nessa hora. Não sei se ainda se faz desse jeito.
E esse Largo do Guimarães ficou perfeito!
I want to make a Santa Teresa tram in HO scale for my model railway. But it won't be with a 3D printer, like the Germans did...
I've ridden these trams and they bump horribly. Every now and then the pantograph comes off the cable and has to be reconnected. There used to have a rope hanging from the end to help this manoeuvre.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👍👍👍‼️
Es ist wirklich zauberhaft! Grüße aus Schweden!
Tack!
Красивые реалистичные макеты!
santa fe train on the freight lines???
Questo è il Miniatur Wunderland di Hamburg.
Si!
Is this a part of Miniature World ?
Not Miniature World in New York, but Miniature Wonderland in Hamburg, Germany.
They lost a opportunity (Frateschi's fault) to bring authentic classic trains of Rio de Janeiro, as the Santa Cruz Express, with Budd Cars pulled by an Escandalosa or FA-1, instead of an "out of context" AC44i with tank cars... Sad
