Here are four more bus models for you to look at, each very different from the other, including two oddities. One is the Chester Foden and the other is a model of one of those ill-fated Accrington Wulfrunians. I thought the livery would make the bus doubly interesting. Sorry one or two details are misaligned, such as the pole on the rear platform of the Southdown I hadn’t noticed this particular fault until after I took the shot. Looking at the livery on this vehicle, somebody missed a trick by dumping such a beautiful combination of colours.
Despite being in a display case, glues can deteriorate and let go, the London Transport Trolleybus model clearly illustrates this phenomenon and illustrates why the window side pillars should be glued to the glazing.

I don’t know, David. Scarily accurate and impressive…..

Very impressive! You’re right about the Southdown livery. It must be something of a tribute to the operator and the livery that so many others up and down the country have copied it.

Tremendous effort, David. I’m very impressed.
I hope that the ‘SOUTHDOWN’ on the sides was picked out in gold leaf, for complete accuracy!
