Here is what Corgi has to say about the Birney Safety Trolley up for auction today: "In 1921, Chicago Surface Lines took delivery of six single-truck, single-door Birney Cars. They were the first modern one-man cars to operate in the city and were assigned to lightly traveled routes. But, even in light service, they were considered unsatisfactory due to the bumpy ride.The Birney car was an electric trolley developed in the 1910s by Charles O. Birney. The Birney was popular in small cities because they were economical for a system not needing large cars. For large cities, Birneys were used on lightly traveled lines where large cars were not justifiable." As with all Corgi collectibles, the most amazing feature of this Birney Safety Trolley: There is no way to truly appreciate the detail, beauty and realism of this Trolley without actually touching and seeing it up close.
