Today I got this in the mail, straight from "the bay" - Dead mint BPW Trolley Bus with a nice D-type box, it has now joined my loose GPW Trolleybus on the shelve :woohoo:

Does anybody have a photo of the real Trolleybus ?

Fine model and Box Karl :thumbsup: I do think black tyres look right on this model and gray dont
The 1:1 (approx 1870 built) London Transport Trolleybuses were almost extinct after the 1959-63 scrapping program ,but 6 or 7 survive in the UK with one each in Spain,France and Ireland

With grateful thanks to Peter Quinn for this photograph

Thanks for sharing a great photo!
As I've never seen a real one, I suspected the model to be slightly to narrow, but it looks like Lesney did a fine job on this one too :thumbsup:
