Leyland Lion PLSC3 The Leyland Lion first appeared in 1925, in the form of the PLSC1, which had a 5.1 litre petrol engine, and was available with front, rear or dual entrance/exit bodies, seating around 31 passengers. One of the first undertakings to buy this model was Edinburgh Corporation, who bought 8, numbered 505-11 in their fleet. These had dual doors. Late in 1926 a slightly larger version, the PLSC3 was introduced, with seating for a possible 35 passengers. The model reigned supreme until 1929, when its by now rather dated appearance was replaced by the Lion LT1, which had a four cylinder T type petrol engine. Many PLSC1 and 3 models have been preserved and can still be seen today. Some of the preserved vehicles are the subject of models in this series. |
