Description
English Electric 'Balloon'



The English Electric Balloon is a type of double-decker tram that is operated on the Blackpool Tramway. Initially brought into service in 1934, the Balloon formed the backbone of the Blackpool tram fleet until the tramway's conversion to a modern light rail network in 2012. Following the network's re-opening, nine Balloons were converted to meet the disability regulations to serve as a supplement to the modern Flexity 2 vehicles. Some of the Balloons have been retained for use within the heritage fleet.

NOTE

The tram catenary height is not changeable, it's locked away in the engine code. Maybe something for TpF2 perhaps?

Thanks for trying but I wouldn't know where to start.

@Cat I've had problems getting the tram to show up as a train in-game, although it will in the model viewer. It might require more work than I thought but you're welcome to give it a try if you want. :)

Any chance of getting this in TfL colours??

That would be awesome, thanks.

@Cat I can't see there being too much of an issue, and the gauges are the same.. I'll have a look over the weekend and see what I can do!
