Y3 - 1 1907 LONDON 'E' CLASS TRAMCAR
ORIGINAL VEHICLE

ISSUED  1956

DESCRIPTION

Scale 1:130

Last of the original 3 released. The model originally had 'thin' cowcatchers but this area was strengthened by adding a block behind  creating 'thick' cowcatchers. The first wheels were solid grenodised metal but changed to black later on and the baseplate that held them started as grey and eventually became black as well, grey versions are rare. The small area just above the 'Buy Lesney Toys' decal was originally open but flashing caused this area to partly fill in and eventually it was filled in completely. Above this there is the top deck access hole  and over time this was filled in instead of being open.

Last runs of the model can have the cowcatcher painted white instead of the normal grey and the small dot lights front and rear can be gold or silver. The early roofs are cream and eventually changed to white.
