Raglan Hall's Tramcar trailer enters service

Very nice conversion, here is a picture of the Bachmann prototype, Jackson Sharp demonstrator 100, plus, a german car note the window layout .  Alyn

Like the bogie car (s) - what did you do with the Bachmann leftovers (assuming you used two 4-wheelers)? If you did, and had part of the saloon left over, then with the toastrack you could make a California car. Just thought.

Mick I have some pictures of Californian cars I know the body layout I will post a couple of pics in a minute. Alyn

Here are some more of the Californian style; as a thought, one could also chop to make an Australian style car.     Alyn

Great pics Alyn. Might have one for you if I can dig it out! I had the Manchester (UK) tram in mind when I commented on Syd's excellent work. Considering my interest in trams I realy ought to build some!

Leeds City Tramways' Brill Convertible car - No.49. Best of Both worlds?



A thought just occurred - Syd and Alyn - if you used a Bachmann enclosed, and a toastrack, you could have a pair of California cars and you wouldn't have to cut the rooves or worry about the motormen and conductors.

Here is another re-build...a Bachmann four wheel enclosed car extended and fitted with bogies.

That looks really Manx!  Nice job.

Yes that's the one Rob. Had a ride on it at Heaton Park many years ago.

I am pleased the thread has given you some ideas. I am currently making a works car from a Bachmann toastrack car, plus a couple of Bachmann repaints into Chocolate and Cream are in the paintshops.

Always had an interest in tram engines. Started off with the idea of overhead (I did it in N gauge once) and got as far as making two traction poles and then bought a Big Hauler - lost track somewhere?

Nice pics again Alyn (and nice models  too). Thanks for posting.
