sholidom Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 I need to populate my layout with some road vehicles and, as I have a couple of stations, I thought a few buses would be nice. But, can I find any?(Rhetorical question!) Timeline is 1950s, loosely based around Warwickshire/Gloucestershire, so probably Midland Red, but trying to find anything is proving extremely difficult so I'm wondering what other modellers have done.

knitpick Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 Oxford also do N scale vehicles though not as wide a selection as their 00 range. You may find something of the era that you could repaint? Also, if it's a main town, you could still find trolley buses. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sholidom Posted August 4, 2019 Author Share Posted August 4, 2019 Hi Nitpick, I've been through the Oxford, GF and Basetoys ranges and there is very little for the 1950s full stop. I don't mind repainting but it'd be nice if there was something out there I could apply the paint to! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Joseph_Pestell Posted August 4, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 4, 2019 (edited) In rural areas, the Bedford OB was fairly universal. That is available in N. If you have Midland Red as your operator, you make things more difficult for yourself, as they had their own designs and in-house bodybuilders. But generally, I agree. There is still a very limited offering in N for period vehicles. Edited August 4, 2019 by Joseph_Pestell Add Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
