My father was give 1 trolley coach in 1960 and never saw it run.
My son and I finally got the poles and wires and as of Dec 6 2011 my fathers dream came true of seeing this run....PS He drove Muni trolley coaches in San Francisco for 30 years...That's why it meant so much to us! cheers Ray

you have to get the poles perfectly straight and the catenary wires tight so you don't get that 'drunk driver' swerving. german toys are so cool. i have an eheim HO cable car setup and some faller AMS stuff that gets put out on the holidays. its got be 50 years old and still works well. i use that red model motoring oil on the drive parts, i love the smell of that stuff burning off the motor! (just like the aurora/faller pancake motors) if you look really closely at this stuff- it's well-made.

how many volts does it use?

@lazbuses The small train transformer I was using puts out a max of 12 volts. I'm not sure how many the bus was designed to run on, but as I recall, it didn't take much to get the bus going.

Can you buy extension power cables?
CarmichaelM 3 years ago
i think it was around $100. i bought it at a hobby shop though (not ebay) so no shipping costs.
extension power cables<--- the transformer I was using has a regular power cord running from the transformer to an outlet in the wall, and then 2 small wires running to the overhead. its easy enough to solder extra wire onto the smaller wires, or buy an extension cord.
