EXCLUSIVE FIRST EDITIONS Leeds Trams Fleet Focus

Click the "Leeds Transport" logo for pictures of Leeds Buses

Leeds was one of the last transport systems in the U.K. to use trams and their last tram ran at the end of 1959. The Horsfield design trams built from 1930 -1932 were popular and worked successfully until the end of trams in Leeds. During this period it is interesting to see how Leeds Transport modified and developed their livery and we have captured these changes in the trams that we have produced. This has created a colourful, interesting and very attractive collection of models, as illustrated in this fleet focus.

14303 Horsfield Tram
This early livery captures car number 157 on route 14 travelling to Pudsey via Bramley.

14301 Horsfield Tram.
This later blue livery captures car 161 on route 12 to Middleton displaying adverts for Stylo Shoes and The Yorkshire Post.

14302 Horsfield Tram.
Similar to 14301 but with adverts for Whitbread Ales.

13404 Horsfield Tram.
In the W.W.II Khaki green livery with white safety markings and antiblast shatter protection on the windows car number 223 is running on route 14 to Town End via Armley Road.

13405 Horsfield Tram.
A special Road Safety livery was applied in 1945, to car number 230 seen on route 3 to Oakwood via City Square.

13402 Horsfield Tram.
Later the livery changed to a dark red colour and car 194 is on route 9 to Dewsbury Road.

13403 Horsfield Tram.
In a similar red livery, car number 196 is on route 3 to Roundhay. An interesting feature is the replacement of the early pole pickup with the more convenient bow pickup on the roof.

13406 Horsfield Tram.
Our latest release is an experimental livery with no lining to the lower deck and blue-green coloured bands around the body. Car number 242 on route 4 to Kirkstall Abbey makes an attractive addition to our range.
