So I wouldn't expect anything Harry Potter. Hornby does have the Harry Potter licence and the Knight Bus is produced by Corgi in 4mm scale.

Steamport Southport Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 I was confused by that when I first saw it. Something didn't look quite right. It took me ages to realise it had three decks... Jason 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Workers in grubby overalls and smokers went upstairs on the easy to clean seats whilst those in clean clothes went downstairs on the posh seats. I remember the days of the smokers being upstairs and the fog, the stench and the condensation pouring down the windows. Which were never open. How things have changed, when my nephew was trying to work out how to use the USB port on the back of the seat in the vintage bus to Llangollen and didn't know that it was an ashtray.

RMweb Gold Roy Langridge Posted December 5, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 5, 2019 (edited) Got mine today after prompting Rails and what a gem it is. I like the instructions, even my grumpy teenage son laughed. Roy Edited December 5, 2019 by Roy Langridge Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Upstairs seating was covered with Rexine or Leathercloth, which had a grain but virtually even colour. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Francis deWeck Posted December 5, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 5, 2019 Impressive; would like to see Rapido stray into the trolley bus area, for example the three axle trolley buses as found in Huddersfield. One would go nicely with other Huddersfield omnibuses I have. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
