OO GAUGE FELTHAM TRAM. [Completed Kit, motorised]

COMPLETE WORKING MODEL OF A FELTHAM TRAM

OO GAUGE MODEL, Unsure of the exact kit involved though as I was born and raised in Feltham there is a connection there and nice to have a good looking model even if I never saw them run myself. 

There is a preserved Feltham Tram at Crich, and have visited their excellent tramway in the Midlands near Alfreton. Check out their website for more information at http://www.tramway.co.uk/ and arrange a visit for yourself. 

[HISTORY] 100 Feltham Trams (so named because they were manufactured by the Union Construction Company in Feltham) were built in total, 54 for Metropolitan Electric Tramways and 46 for London United Tramways. 

They started to enter service in 1931.

All the trams passed to the London Passenger Transport Board upon it's formation in 1933 and were allocated fleet numbers 2066-2165, the last examples were withdrawn from London services in 1951.

Most of the Feltham trams were sold for further service outside London between 1949 and 1951, a batch of 90 passing to Leeds City Transport where they were numbered 501-590 and remained in service until the closure of the Leeds system in 1959.

One of the three prototype Felthams built for Metropolitan eventually passed to Sunderland Corporation Transport in 1937, after the closure of the network it passed into the ownership of the National Tramway Museum at Crich, it's now been restored to it's original London Metropolitan condition.
