Corgi OM43509 Blackpool Balloon tram in "Eclipse 2" ad. livery

This item has a limited edition certificate included.

English Electric Balloon Car 720 was one of a fleet of 14 second series Balloon cars which entered service in 1935. Remarkably, all of these cars have remained in service to this day, the majority of them in their original form, more or less, the only great exceptions being cars 714 and 725 which were rebuilt into the two Jubilee cars 762 and 761 respectively. Differing from the first series by having all enclosed top decks, these cars did however have sliding sun roofs for summer use. Sadly, subsequent rebuilds have eliminated this unusual feature.
