Subject: Ashton C. T. 52 (CTD 548) Chassis: Leyland TB6 Body: English Electric H30/26R Location: Preston, Dick, Kerr works Date: 1937
This was ordered as a TB4 but appears to have been built as a TB6 with a longer wheelbase and had chassis number 14195. Electrical equipment was by Metropolitan-Vickers and included an MV202FW 85HP motor.
New in Nov-1937 it ran with trolley wheels on the Hathershaw route when first in service although it appears to fitted with skids in this view.
