Hi Job

 

I have nearly completed the bus now, other than tidying up the paintwork and adding some varnish. I added five passengers; I didn't want the

bus company to look as if they were having too much success!

 

I don't have much reference material for buses and the internet pictures I turned up were either of the same kit, or of ML3s which looked to be from

a different batch, with different body designs. However, I found a good picture of a 1927 ML3 in my book of GWR road vehicles, and this looked very

close to the kit other than the roof not projecting fully forward over the engine.  Close enough! I used the photo to add some extra detail, including an opening top window

for the cab, and some lamp brackets on the front. I also went back and redid some of the glazing as I wasn't happy with all of it.

Any chance you could upload your picture of the ML3 again. Looking to add one to my layout as well.

Are the tank filer caps the Buffalo 850 variety from Alan Gibson?

Where did you get the original GWR drawings from?

Having followed your posts, I'll be buying whatever you ship 😁. What would be fantastic would be a set of digital drawings that could be shipped or bought separately with them. The year by year idea definitely has its upside. I'm looking to scratch build a Class 655 and 2721 No 2705 & 2799 so this approach might help narrow down specifics that that batch had.
