BH Brixton Hill Tram Depot Brixton Hill was built as a tram trailer shed, but by the time it was completed in 1924, the LCC had decided to no longer use trailers. The depot became an annexe of the nearby Telford Avenue depot. It was the only LCC depot that didn't have a traverser. After the trams the building was used by the motor trade but is now used by Arriva. Extra parts are included to model it as an Arriva bus garage. So this fairly small building has been the site of some important transport heritage being the last home of the route 16/18 Feltham trams and 159 Routemasters. Price: B |

The remainder of the depot was hidden behind other buildings fronting the street. Camberwell depot was demolished and replaced by Walworth bus garage when the trams finished in 1952. Price: B |

All London double deckers had to undergo a 'tilt test' to ensure stability. The bus was loaded with a full top deck load (simulated with sandbags) and then tilted on the tilt table. It had to be able to be tilted to an angle of 38° with its wheels still on the floor. There were rubber buffers to catch the vehicle if it tipped but it was otherwise not restrained. This model of the shed and table actually works and an EFE or similar bus can be tested. Unfortunately because model buses are top heavy they will fail the test although a strategic blob of blutack will secure the model for photography. Price: B
