The ends repainted otherwise very good ex-service condition. 19.5in. long. The Nottingham Tram System had single lines with passing loops. The sight of the staff would permit convoys of perhaps 3 trams to proceed in section, the staff retained by the driver of the last tram. This would then be shown to the drivers of the corresponding trams waiting in the loop and handed over to the last driver in the queue, and so it repeated from section to section. Sounds complicated but it worked! We are of course referring to the original Tram System not the current modern Super Tram! SOLD FOR
