Vehicles in 1/76

[swampdaddy]

Hi everyone: I just received my diecast model of the Sunwin trolleybus in 1/76. What a delightful model; it has one of the best interiors I have ever seen including standee poles and overhead rails. No hanger straps but I suspect the prototype probably did not have them either.

Painted white with green & blue graphics that I have seen on photos of the real ones in Beijing, China. I sure wish this was 1/87 so I could order more for use on my layout.

It was a bit pricy, at $34 plus shipping. But I sure like the model.

I will post photos shortly in my album and then I'll put that URL here for others to see.

Have fun, Swamp Daddy

Hi all: Go here to my bus album photos for a couple of the beautiful Sunwin diecast trolleybus unit:

The only thing not up to par are the poles which are a one piece stamping and fixed in angle. but I suppose I could replace them with better poles from some British source as it is OO scale.

I sure wish this one was 1/87.

Hi all: Go to this link to see photos of the real size Sunwin trolleybuses in Shanghai:

Get both lines in your browser (if the URL shows up as more than one line). Go here to see the model in an album I have on Yahoo:

The etspe site is a very large and up-to-date site. And, it has many photo galleries of some of the wildest bus paint schemes around; many Canadian GMC new-looks still in use too.

Have fun, Swamp Daddy
