In 1964, less than two years after their introduction, it was decided to give a face-lift to the RMC’s. The main changes were at the front where the wings were revised to give a smoother, deeper line, the brake vents were omitted and the registration plate was attached beneath the lower edge of the body. The “via” box was widened to match the main destination blind box and the lower half of the front ventilation grille was covered to form a continuous band between the two decks. The main livery changes included the disappearance of the main Green Line wording on the side of the lower decks and the use of decals for a revised roundel which was moved forward on the sides to below the first window of the upper deck. | |  more | Sunstar/Chrono 1/24 RMC2217 CUV 217C The Last Routemaster Bus (2914) more.. | |  more | Sunstar/Chrono 1/24 RM 1933 ALD933B 50th Anniversay of LT Routemaster Bus (2909)
The London General Omnibus Company was founded in 1855 to run the horse-drawn carriages in London . Following a merger in 1908 with the London Motor Omnibus Company, famous for its Vanguard buses, it was acquired two years later by the Underground Electric Railway Company of London Ltd. Manufacture of buses had started in Walthamstow in 1910, but in 1912, the manufacturing activity became the Associated Equipment Company (AEC) and the public transport operation continued under the name of London General. In 1933, all public transport was amalgamated under the newly-formed London Passenger Transport Board.To celebrate the 50 th anniversary of London Transport,in April 1983,
RM1933 was repainted at Chalk Farm Garage in the famous London General livery, a company which had played such a key role in the capital`s transport, as both operator and manufacturer. more.. | |  more | EFE 1/24 MCW Metrobus Metroline (98001)

Limited Edition 1947 Bedford OB Duple Vista - FDK571 Yelloway Motor Services (with certificate). more.. | |  more | Sunstar/Chrono 1/24 Bedford 1949 OB Coach Duple Vista Grey Cars (H5006)
Introduced in August 1939, the Bedford OB chassis was designed specifically for public transport. The off-set differential on the rear axle combined with the mounting of the engine and the gearbox at a slight angle permitted a sunken, central gangway for easier passenger access. However two months later, following the outbreak of World War II, production was stopped after only 73 chassis had been manufactured. In January 1942, production of a more utilitarian version known as the OWB recommenced.In October 1945, production of the OB resumed and the Bedford OB chassis went on to play a major role in the re-equipping of many transport fleets as demand rose sharply. Over 40 different coach-builders used the chassis, but by far the biggest was the Hendon-based firm of Duple, whose Vista body was to become synonimous with the OB coach. However, the Vista body underwent many changes during its life. Unlike the original pre-war and the first 46 post-war Duple Vistas, which had an entrance door which slid behind the main side body panel, the door on the following models slid open into an external recess. During 1947, the destination and fleet-name boxes were modified,a rounded outer edge replacing the earlier angular one. In 1948, due to material shortages, the characteristic side “flash” was omitted and replaced by a single aluminium bead about 3 inches below the waistline, and the operator's name plate box was removed from the rear. The original 4-spoked steering wheel was replaced by a 3-spoked version. In 1949, the side flash and the operator's plate returned. Later that year, the luggage door locks, which had been operated by a T-key, were replaced by a single locking handle and the rear direction indicator lights were changed. The large chromed bumper over-riders were removed, a deeper rear bumper/body trim was added which incorporated the wording Bedford-Duple and a Duple motif was added to both sides of the 1950. As an option for sight-seeing services, quarter-lights in the roof were offered which necessitated different, tubular luggage racks. | |  more | Sunstar/Chrono 1/24 Bedford OB 1949 Coach Royal Blue (H5008) more.. | |
