The Strassenbahn has about 25 feet of elevated trackage running along the backscene. During 2010 we ran US stock, and an HLW interurban worked the 'El'. After mucho grumbling from the staff, 2011 will be a European year. Trouble is, theres nothing left in the stock cabine to work the 'S' bahn. After a trip on the old Lausanne Ouchy line, I rather liked the idea of a little box cab towing a coach or two. Anyway, years ago I was given a sawn off chunk of an LGB bogie coach, so I've started to recycle it into a Nonesuch !
This is as far as I got over the Christmas break :
The axleboxes are from Cambrian, the rest is knocked up from the plastikard offcuts pile. The mech will be a Playmobil block from my fast dwindling stash.
Anyway, for the New Year, I thought I'd blast it with the rattle cans and add a few stickers. Thus, it has become Cottam StrassenBahn Ge2/2 no 11.
There is still a way to go - lights, interior, and a bow collector for the roof, but it looks promising enough to carry on with.
