Hi, here's a 1/32 scale Lotus railcar. The car was built by G.K Jarvis; founder of Super Shells. The lotus is one of their first vacform bodies. It has a Triang mk 4 motor & eldi gearing. It apears in Roger Greenslade's book on page 28 (A History of Electric Model Roads and Racetracks).

Thanks,
Bernard
