Winter project completed!

All my illustrious readers who have visited Puerto Soller on the lovely island of Majorca will immediately recognize this....a model of a Soller Tram.

Early in the build.

The Tranvía de Sóller (Catalan: Tramvia de Sóller) is a Spanish heritage tramway serving the town of Sóller and the coastal village of Port de Sóller,  It is owned by Ferrocarril de Soller,  the same company operating the heritage rail line linking the town to the city of Palma.

Planking added...just like boatbuilding!

Roof planked ready for painting.

The Tranvía de Sóller is one of only two first generation tramways to survive in Spain, along with the Tramvia Blau in the city of Barcelona.

Running gear fitted

Getting close!

Building this model, produced by 'Occre' of Barcelona has certainly kept me occupied and at times, due to my increasingly clumsy nature,  caused much aggro and extremely bad language on many occasions,  for instance, after  knocking a container filled with minute bits off my worktable and on to the floor which is wooden with gaps strategically placed in between the boards...perfect for catching little parts!

Finished tram on the roadway.

'Rock hard' seating!

Anyway,  it is completed now after spending a couple of hours a day over almost 2 months......and now it is time that I removed and cleaned the Morgan's wheels plus giving the car a good valeting!!!
