EFE 10TH
SUBSCRIBER NEWSLETTER 2013 My copy of the newsletter arrived between Christmas and New Year and mentions a couple of items of news that will be of interest: The EFE Subscriber offer models which are usually prepared for Christmas and New Year have been delayed for a few months due to pressures on the manufacturing production. Mr Joyce mentions the ongoing labour issues in China: "As 2014 approaches the labour shortages restricting and delaying manufacturing in China shows no sign of improving and production capacity will be further stretched as the workers first enjoy a short Christmas break and then prepare for the long Chinese New Year holidays." Mention is made of the commissioned Dublin model 24821 Mercedes minibus - Dublin bus CITY IMP, which I reported on 2nd October 2013 CLICK HERE. Details of how to order are given: "We have been commissioned to produce a model of a Dublin City Imp bus. This model features a Dublin minibus, fleet number MEl, registered 93-D-10001 in the attractive City Imp livery on route l23 to Droimeanach - Drimnagh. Further information is available on these models by E-mail at derekfarrelly@hotmail.com or by telephoning Ireland on 085 850 9467". Finally The Eastern Counties Fleet Focus that accompanied the Newsletter shows an updated pre-production photograph of model 38702 Alexander Y Type Bus, with the correct windows fitted CLICK HERE.
