What is the model?

Dundee 19 New

It is a Dundee Corporation Tramways tram built in 1930 by Brush of Loughborough. There were ten trams carrying numbers 19 – 29. I have chosen to build car 19 which was the first car delivered in 1930. The cars were originally planned to operate on the Downfield route, but were found to be too wide for the track spacing on most of Dundee’s routes. Instead they spent their life on the Lochee route, gaining the nick-name Lochee cars.

The model is built to a scale of 1/16 or 3/4 inch to 1 foot.
