so I've always wanted a trolley for the Christmas tree. I'm on the fence about the post war lionel bump and go trollys. I was contemplatIPG getting a moder street car, but today it came to me and this is where I'm at. 

Ps I fell asleep watching train nights at Daves. Wonder if that had something to do with this??

theres still a lot of finishing work to do, but I needed to get it out of my mind and into something tangible. The one piece I'm basing this off of, is the headlamp that is used on a voltamp trolley. Very cartoonish and stylish. Looks like a candle sort of.

Hi Dan. I don't have a layout at the moment either but there are plans for a small trolley layout in a spare bedroom. It will be known as the Stannum Transit Company or the STC. I chose to do a tinplate trolley layout due to space restrictions. In the meantime I keep myself amused by experimenting with different ideas on an old shelf (see my photo). It is portable and allows me to test some of my tinplate trolley creations.

Cheers, Paul.
