Andrew P Posted June 14, 2018 Author Share Posted June 14, 2018 Andy, The stock shelves above the layout look unusually empty, is it all on KM? Cheers, Dave All current stock is on KM Dave, but there are about 22 x 16T Minerals, and 30 + Brown Vans in the cupboard, plus half a dozen Brake Vans. Andy, I also meant to say that I love that kitbashed Metcalfe bridge, this is precisely what i intend for the scenic break on Danemouth and i expect it to be carrying some buses (I really like Bedford OBs) and several period cars, Regards, Dave I did the same on Bristol Victoria but with two Kits for a full Viaduct, then they were cut back down and now for the entrance to the Fiddle Yard at Dore End Station, and the Road over by the Canal, (the one with the droppy down arch) haha.

RMweb Premium Bogie Posted June 14, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 14, 2018 The latest series of posts just go to show you cannot keep a good man down - or a bl***y bus for that matter. How many of those things do you have? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midland Red South (wot buses I posted about earlier) was formed in 1981. Stagecoach didn't get involved (as Stagecoach Midland Red) until the mid 90s and as Stagecoach Oxfordshire in 2002. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stagecoach_in_Warwickshire and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stagecoach_in_Oxfordshire But Rule One applies...

KNP Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 (edited) Or you could do what I did and use painted stones to surround the planting. In real life, I believe, they where in some instances actually painted lumps of coal The flower beds where on 2mm card and the 'lumps' glued to the edge.

RMweb Premium brushman47544 Posted June 15, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 15, 2018 That what I thought, but the Number plate is ''R'' 76 / 77 as were some others I found. Many many repaints over the years - they were structurally built to last. I was riding on one on the way to school and we were in a head on collision with a car. The front of the car was crushed back to the windscreen, but you would have been pushed to see a dent on the front bumper of the bus. The bus drove on once it was clear nobody was hurt. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Kevin, that is the plan for Pen Y Bont, as I did on Trebudoc, (see below), so wanted something slightly different on here, but yours looks really neat mate.
