| Leyland TD1: …..The solid bulkhead partition on the platform was removed and replaced by plasticard with glazing and a handrail was also added. A handrail was also fitted to the stairs diagonally crossing the rear window. I notice, in early photos of TD1s, that the platforms were not fitted with a central stanchion rail but, as mine portrays a vehicle in its later life (around 1950), I decided not to remove the one provided by EFE. The upper and lower saloon was also re-glazed - which is an improvement on the EFE glazing. The EFE glazing to the cab looks passable so I cheated and decided to keep it rather than fiddle to replace it. I wouldn't say I am an over-keen 'decker fan (this is the first in my small rural fleet!), but the aesthetically pleasing lines of the TD1 are well captured by EFE, and it was one I couldn't resist. Now what was Dick Lindsay saying about the AEC Q? ..... hmmm..... maybe! |
