The Black Country Living Museum has four working trolleybuses and another awaiting restoration - had a ride on one when I went there a month ago. Interesting vehicles - they'll take off very rapidly for a double-deck bus and are almost silent. Their website is http://www.bclm.co.uk/ though I'm not sure if they have photos up. <br /> <br />I think adding a magnetic guide wire would remove a lot of the fun personally - driving the thing while keeping both pickups on the wires was apparently a challenge for the real thing in public service, my dad can remember seeing them in action and said they used to cause traffic chaos when one or both pickups fell off. In model form it would be most entertaining!
