Something different - a trolleybus model. This 1:13 scale model of a Skoda tbus is interesting at the end, when all the doors open which is a nice modelling feature.

The 1:1 scale ones are still very popular in cities such as Salzburg but haven't made a comeback in the UK yet. Systems are planned for Leeds and London, but nothing concrete to date. A fraction the cost of a tram system, every bit as green, but is still likely to get stuck in city traffic.

Wow pretty nice job, is the steering tied into the tram wires or do you think it's R/C?

Hi Tombsy,

I had a look and found a few other youtube clips of the model and in this one the operater is holding an r/c handset. It is only a very quick shot at the beginning - don't blink or you will miss it! Thanks for the reply to my post and the interest shown.

Out of curiosity I took a look on Wiki at the trolleybus systems in Canada and a system is currently in use in Vancouver. Operated by Translink this looks a good modern system.

One of my favourite sounds of all time are any big engines spooling up to full power, big (old) electric motors, jets, turbines...
I love those harmonics that the motor generates / passes through.
