Brill 27G Tramcar Trucks in 1:16 scale: Ashley Best describes the making of a Brill tramcar truck

摘要

The construction of a working 1:16 scale electric tramcar is a most rewarding activity for a model engineer. It principally involves work in metal and wood but other materials to a lesser extent. The finished model. might not be considered as comparable to pure engineering as exemplified, for example, by a model locomotive or working internal combustion engines; indeed a model tramcar fits more appropriately into the category of model-making. This is not to diminish it by comparison, but merely to point out an obvious fact. However the finished model is regarded, there can be no doubt that a considerable amount of proper engineering will have been employed.
