| Leyland TS8/Coach: A few subtle changes to the EFE TS8 die-cast have provided another coach for the fleet. The coach would have been new to Richardson's in 1937 and, by 1950, would have seen use on stage carriage service, and would also work alongside the newer post-war coaches, when necessary. Simple modifications were the fitting of a coach door, modelled out of plasticard, and the addition of a sliding sunshine roof, provided by thin aluminium from a pop-can, and a couple of pieces of brass wire for the sliders. Not really based on any particular prototype, but fairly typical of its era. |
