CREATIVE MASTER NORTHCORD - PRESS RELEASE TransBus Mini Pointer Dart ----UKBUS3005 – Solent Blue Line When the British people were focused on the activities of the D-Day 60th anniversary celebrations in the last couple of months, certain places in Southern England became familiar names to us, e.g. Isle of Wight, Southampton, Portsmouth, etc. During the period around D-Day, these areas played a significant role and the British people will never forget them. Today, CMNL is releasing a new TransBus MPD replica - UKBUS3005 - that carries the livery of Solent Blue Line, part of the Isle of Wight based Southern Vectis group, which was established in 1987 and is based in Southampton. The Solent Blue Line MPD replica carries the fleet number 582 and registration number SN03 LDU. In May 2003, a new Quality Network for Eastleigh brought simpler routes, easy to remember times and improved frequencies. Twelve TransBus Mini Pointer Darts were introduced giving easy access, digital CCTV and LED destinations with a smart new livery and fleet name style. All the above features have now happened in this 1 : 76 scale replica. This is a one-piece casting whose clean lines accentuate the gasket windows and livery application on which all logos and lettering are clearly legible. The model also features excellent detailing, inside and out, including an opening engine door, showing the detailed environmentally friendly Euro 3 engine. All grab rails feature inside the replica and in their correct positions. The construction method of this replica permits realistic-looking front and rear lights – in particular the front headlamp/indicator assembly and rear stop/tail units. The brand new UKBUS3005 Solent Blue Line MPD bus models will be distributed by John Ayrey Die-Casts Limited (UK), Porte Publishing Company (Japan) and Concorde Hobby Shop (HK) respectively.
