Trolleybus miniatures, models and the real things

By Ashley Bruce with Gottfried Kure

After four years of research, acquisition and compiling, collaborators Ashley Bruce and Gottfried Kure have produced a near definitive work on the obscure and yet surprisingly nostalgic subject of the Trolleybus in miniature. The book -
- covers why so many should find such a topic to be so evocative
- looks at the industrial relevance of company display models
- examines exhibition models in museums
- delves into attempts to recreate moving trolleybuses in miniature
- catalogues commercial motorised model trolleybuses
- includes 23 national trolleybus histories from 1882 to the present day
- references 226 full sized prototypes
- introduces 282 producers and makers
- and lists over 1280 marketed, adapted and one-off models from around the world.
The result is an encyclopedia of the worlds trolleybuses through the ages, seen as they once were and how they now exist in minature.
