TWO PRESS
RELEASES FROM CREATIVE MASTER NORTHCORD LTD
The two press releases below have been received this morning from CMNL:
UKBUS3026
Alexander Dennis Mini Pointer-bodied Dart
First
Hampshire & Dorset
Further
to the great success of the First Hampshire & Dorset Scania OmniCity
“ZIP” bus models, CMNL is releasing its second bus model from this operator.
This is an Alexander Dennis MPD with eye-catching “CONNECTION”
route-branding decoration.
The
First Hampshire & Dorset UKBUS3026 MPD replica carries the fleet number
43847 and registration number SN55 CXJ.
In
October 2005, new buses were introduced to operate specifically between
Southampton City Centre and the village of Hamble, which nestles on the banks of
the river Hamble near to where it joins the Solent. The thirty minute journey
passes through the eastern outskirts of the city through Woolston, Netley,
Butlocks Heath to Hamble where it terminates in the square.
43847
is one of a batch of four Alexander Dennis Mini Pointer Darts which are based at
Portswood depot in Southampton for this route. They carry the current version of
the Barbie 1 livery which is enhanced with the eye-catching
‘Southampton-Hamble Connection’ route branding. All the buses are fitted
with Euro 3 engines and bonded windows.
This
is a one-piece casting whose clean lines accentuate the bonded 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 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 whose headlamp
is transparent and indicator is translucent.
The
brand new UKBUS3026 First Hampshire & Dorset MPD bus models are limited to
1600 pieces produced. It will be distributed by John Ayrey Die-Casts Limited
(UK), Porte Publishing Company (Japan), Transit Graphics (Australia),
cnmycar.com (P. R. of China) and Concorde Hobby Shop (HK) respectively.

Mercedes-Benz Citaro
uni-link
Southampton
Creative Master
Northcord Limited is proud to release another brand new livery on its well known
Mercedes-Benz Citaro casting, UKBUS5013 uni-link Southampton.
UKBUS5013
represents fleet number 80 (HF06
FUB).
Unilink Citaro
fleet number 80, together with number 79, entered service in April 2006. These
buses were provided to increase the frequency and capacity of the highly
successful U1A and U1C services operating between Southampton Docks, City Centre
and the Airport via the University.
The Mercedes-Benz
Citaros have the same interior layout of 2+1 seating and single entrance / exit
door as those delivered to the Wilts & Dorset Bus Company (UKBUS5011).
Unilink is
operated by Accord Operations Ltd, who work in partnership with the University
of Southampton, and provide bus services for the University and the travelling
public on scheduled local services.
UKBUS5013 features
the smooth, curved windscreen with the destination display set behind the
windscreen glass.
Mercedes-Benz
Citaro UKBUS5013 model is a one-piece casting whose clean lines accentuate the
square-mounted, double-glazed windows and the livery application on which all
logos and lettering are clearly legible. Another main feature on both models is
the extensive portrayal of handrails. The headlight / indicator units at the
front and indicator / tail light units at the rear are made of individual
components to look more realistic.
The brand new
single-door Mercedes-Benz Citaro bus models will be distributed by John Ayrey
Die-Casts Limited (UK), Porte Publishing Company (Japan), Transit Graphics
(Australia), cnmycar.com (P. R. of China) and Concorde Hobby Shop (HK)
respectively. The UKBUS5013 models are limited to 1500 pieces worldwide
respectively.
