ex DUTC CIE TIGER TS11 DECKER (R244)

[GSI345]

Yet another Adventurous & Brave undertaking which certainly tested by Patience. Amalgamating Resin & Diecast would usually be a "NoNo"! Using a TD5 Resin Body & Chopping the cab area from an EFE Leyland Tiger resulted in a CIE TS11 Decker.

Four TS11 Deckers were taken over from the DUTC in 1945 & were instantly recognised by the raked windscreen & lengthened first window bay, all four operating from Conyngham Rd Garage. Modelled here is R244 (ZD 927) on Route 25 - O'Connell Bridge - Lucan, withdrawn & Scrapped By November 1959
