Geoff Simmons is a highly skilled modeller who produces exquisite large-scale models. Sankey Scenics is pleased to have supplied the adverts for this 1/16 th scale model of this Birmingham Standard Bogie Car of 1923. Number 661 runs on 2 and 5/8 inch gauge track and is about 2foot long, it has 2x 24 volt motors in the bogies and has internal lighting as well as directional lighting. It was Geoff’s first attempt at scratch building a tram and took nearly 3 years to build. The body is made entirely of wooden strips of various sizes, and thin ply of 1.5 mm and 0.8mm thickness. Glazing is all glass except for the pink tipper windows in the u/s which are plastic. The bogies are made from brass castings with independent suspension and the wheels are cast. The lighting is powered by onboard batteries and the lights are LEDs.
