Product description : LONDON 106 tram

Little by little, build this wonderful kit model of the London tramway. It will allow you to spend long and pleasant moments of creative leisure by building a faithful replica of the original tram with all the railway details.

This tram was built in April 1903 by the Electric Railway and Tramway Carriage Works company and was one of 100 Class "B" vehicles ordered by the London County Council.

It was used as a passenger vehicle under number 106 until 1925, when it was converted into a snow plow under the number 022. The 106 was taken in 1983 to the National Tramway Museum in Crich (Derbyshire), where it is still located, having covered more than 10,000 miles in passenger transport service.

It counted originally two Dick Kerr engines, type DK25A of 25 hp, which were replaced in 1927 by Westinghouse engines, type 220 of 42 hp. The vehicle is equipped with hand brakes on the wheels and a rheostatic brake acting on the motors. Magnetic brakes were installed there in 1980.

Be passionate and let yourself be transported back to the time when these marvelous trams circulated on the streets.
