In 2001/2, Citybus carried out trials with
Dennis Dragon 701, having converted it into a trolleybus! I was fortunate
enough to have a ride on the trolleybus when I visited Wong Chuk Hang Depot
in November 2002, and am very grateful to the two Citybus employees, pictured
below, for their courtesy, willingness to explain the complexities of the
bus and especially for allowing me to ride the test track.
This model is one of 800 specially commissioned
by 80M Bus Model Shop, and is based on the first Collector's Model 10.4m
Dragon, with the fitting of booms.
