Very Great Comliment Mr. Darrington. I have also plan make the Self with my Berna Swiss Trolleybus. Sorry my Englsich, the Front weel found the way with magnets like Faller Car System ? This is also my Idee, but i dont com so wide. I make now my Movies, and when i See Your Eyes, when the Shine (sorry) you in the trolleybus world. Perfect, i must show my Vater, hi work also bei the Wini bus. And i look later what make your hess trolley. Thanks René
I loved your display. Just beautiful and most rewarding feeling after completing one by one. Good luck to make the Swiss Tram Trolleybus and thank you for sharing.
Where do I start? Its a very complicated process and a book is being written on this very subject! First step is to get plans and decide on your scale. I obtained plans of the Swiss Megatrolley from the Hess website which was very easy, the Bournemouth plans were from Terry Russell Trams. Chassis are brass square tube from Expo and wheels are Meccano. Mashima motor and Comet gearboxes complete the chassis.
Hi Robin, very interesting work with your scratch-builds! I saw an old plastic RT in something like 0 or 1 scale at a bric-a-brac fair and was tempted to convert it to a trolleybus; at the moment I am struggling to get a decent looking rear-roof section with my scratch-builds. I am going to visit my local MBF for help! Maybe see you at Sandtoft next year - if asked, I might bring West Porton.
Hi David, thanks for your comments! The roof is the most difficult to build, moulding plastic and much sanding, I am experimenting with car body filler which makes life much easier. I am sure Sandtoft would be pleased to have porton, there are so few model trolleybuses around. Best wishes, robin
outstanding! would love to see them in action in the flesh!

Wonderful video, and what beautiful buses you have made, It so nice to see creative people. It would be nice if you had street scape behind the road,
Have you ever thought of puting in a wireless video camera in the cab and seeing it from the drivers eye view
As I said simply Brililiant, I LOVE IT
Steve

If I can ask for an email adress? I started to build romanian model trolleybuses and I'll like if you could help me make it run on digital line.

Look forward to seeing your models at the Sandtoft model weekend then. What's the timescale on the book?

That's amazing if they're built from scratch!
I was wondering for a minute how the steering worked, but then I saw the steering track thingy :-)
