NORTHCORD MODEL COMPANY - PRESS RELEASE
The following press release has been received today from The Northcord Model
Company:
UKBUS6531 ADL Enviro400 MMC Stagecoach Manchester
Following the significant success in launching the brand new casting of the Alexander Dennis Enviro400 MMC model in the liveries of National Express West Midlands, Stagecoach in Oxfordshire, Bluestar, Stagecoach West Scotland, Southern Vectis, Stagecoach South, Ensign Bus, Xplore Dundee, Stagecoach North West, Go North East, Stagecoach North Scotland and Go South Coast, Northcord Model Company is now releasing the twentieth livery on the 10.9 metre long, single-door casting – UKBUS6531 in the livery of Stagecoach Manchester with full, new, standard local livery.
UKBUS6531 features Stagecoach Manchester 11523 (SK20AVY) working on route 192 to Piccadilly. 11523 was new to Stagecoach Manchester in 2020 as one of the earliest factory-painted examples in this new, standard, ‘local livery’.
Other than the Royal Jubilee model, UKBUS6529, with its royal-associated colours, this is the first representation by Northcord Model Company of the newest standard livery, termed “local livery”.
The Alexander Dennis Enviro400 MMC UKBUS6531 is a one-piece casting whose clean lines accentuate the square, gasket-mounted windows and the livery application on which all logos and lettering are clearly legible. Another main feature on the UKBUS6531 model is its single tree protector at the front. The front dome on the model is significant, with curved windscreens on both upper deck and lower deck.
Northcord Model Company is also creating new design standards within the interior of both saloons. These features, inside the compartments, will represent the real, outstanding layout of the Enviro400 MMC, such as the extensive portrayal of handrails on upper deck and lower deck, etc.
The brand new 10.9 metre Enviro400 MMC bus models will be distributed by John Ayrey Die-Casts Limited (UK), Porte Publishing Company (Japan), 80M Bus Model Shop (HK) respectively. The UKBUS6531 model is limited to 1008 pieces worldwide.
