tamperman36 Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Is there anywhere I can get hold of modern era bus side adverts to put on my buses, I do remember there used to be a site where you could download photos scaled to fit OO scale buses to make your own transfers but I believe it was shut down for some sort of copyright issue.

crompton 33 Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Kingsway models do have some of there website . How modern do you want as most seem to be up to the 1980's only. Fox transfers have them but only up to the 1960/70's. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamperman36 Posted May 20, 2014 Author Share Posted May 20, 2014 From the 1990's onwards bearing in mind that double deck buses are bigger these days so the adds need to be bigger and some buses are covered in all over adverts Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ragtag Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 They crop up on ebay occasionally, one seller used to do them regularly on self-adhesive photo paper which works quite well. Haven't seen any from him for a while though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold RThompson Posted May 31, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 31, 2014 Something I can add to this is that the advertising frames are a standard size. They was listed on the cbs outdoor website but can't seem to find them on the mobile phone but if you search on the internet you may be able to find them. I won't go through all the different types as i'll just bore you all! Adverts change quite quickly unless it's the vinyl type but the latter are almost extinct now.

RMweb Premium HillsideDepot Posted May 31, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 31, 2014 The two Darts we bought from First for preservation eariler this year have a mix of adverts. The Bath based example has frames on both sides and on the rear, while the Bristol one has a frame on the rear, but pealing vinyl on both sides. From a modelling point of view adverts do change quite often, unlike some of the older classics which went on almost unchanged for years. The new Optare double deck launched this week has, apparently, a double width staircase panel to take bigger adverts, so thats another variation on the theme. Over the years bus adverts represent a fascinating insight into social history, and as such should be a part of our model worlds. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
