According to Model Rail no 49 (November 2002) all 5 types of Rail bus (including the track recording vehicle) were available as RTR in 1959.  The kit for an AC cars one was available in 1980.

Sorry, not a positive sighting, but maybe someone else can provide one.

Thank you both for replies so far. I recall the magazine article although that and the link to the very nice Anbrico website do not have any photographic evidence. I have an motorised AC Cars made in tinplate which looks and goes very well, I also had, but have since sold, an unmade kit which was in whitemetal. If it's done in tinplate I'm sure any Wickhams 'bus will look well.

 

Thanks again.

Yes, I've got one and the box. I made it many years ago and it never ran too well. I rebuilt it about 6-7 years ago and it runs quite well. Never finished it of course, and by then the Heljan model had come out!

Anbrico produced good stuff for the time. I can remember one layout which appeared in RM which had the Derby lightweight dmu and thinking how good it looked.

It was an article in the September 1958 RM.There is a very nice picture of Anbricos two car dmu,I don`t know if i can reproduce on here because of copyright.
