Some modelling and a few gratuitous trolleybus pics.
What's going on, two entries in less than a week! Mention was made of the modded PC trams chassis for a Corgi Feltham, so here it is in primer
And with the Corgi body fitted
The general idea behind this is to do with the proposed resin body kit for LCC1/Leeds 301 which if all goes to plan (yeah, right!) would feature an r-t-r chassis using the PC/Halling chassis as a base unit but with platforms/stairs/doors/bulkheads/controllers etc, basically fit lifeguards, bogie sides etc and body and you're ready to go. So the Feltham is a bit of a proving idea, it needed lengthening wheras for 301 bogie centres are good. Admitedly the Feltham uses max traction trucks and the Halling ones are equal wheel, I can live with that for the better performance/quieter running etc.
Mention of 301, well here's the first pic of a very 'rough' top deck, loads of work still to do, but it is sort of begining to look like what it should do (hopefully!), need to have something to work on whilst 600 is setting/drying etc!
On a completely differerent tack, I seem to pass the Trolleybus Museum at Sandtoft regularly heading down the M180 to pick my daughter up, so decided to call in on Sunday. I can heartily recommend it, whilst not a huge site it's pretty reasonable to get in (a fiver) plenty of trolleybus rides (included) a really good depot tour (free) and top quality/highly recommended onsite catering (2 brews, 2 sandwiches and 2 pieces of cake for just over six quid, bargain! God, I've been in Yorkshire too long, I'm turning into a Yorkshireman!!) So a couple of pics
Maidstone 56 and Cardiff 203 (this weekend was it's lauch after restoration)
Reading 144 and LT 1812.
