GNSRAMemsec Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 (edited) Has anyone ever seen or has anyone been aware of this Anbrico kit or was it just an aspiration? Edited July 21, 2017 by GNSRAMemsec Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePipersSon Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 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. Tom Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GNSRAMemsec Posted July 23, 2017 Author Share Posted July 23, 2017 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
roythebus Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 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! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium NCB Posted July 26, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 26, 2017 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sagaguy Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 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. Ray.
