Seven Kings is shown built up as supplied, but also incorporated into a simple diorama. Further details can be found at http://www.kingswaymodels.com/page18.htm Woolworths is the latest in a 'non bus' range.

PRESS
RELEASES FROM CREATIVE MASTER NORTHCORD LTD The two press releases below have been received from CMNL today: UKBUS4017 Alexander “Royale” / Volvo Olympian West Coast Motors, Campbeltown Creative Master Northcord Limited is pleased to announce the release of Alexander “Royale” / Volvo Olympian UKBUS4017. It is carrying West Coast Motors’ all-red livery. UKBUS4017 represents P281 PSX that was new to Lothian Buses. Although Lothian Buses’ fleet number 281 was not significant numerically, as the first or last member of the class, she did attain “iconic” status in her latter days at Lothian Buses because of the application of a full offside advert for “Scottish Widows” After withdrawal by Lothian Buses, their former 281 was converted to single-door format and, unlike the earlier conversion of 430 in the Lothian fleet that has also come into WCM ownership, 281 has a tidier conversion with standard-sized windows on the nearside, lower deck. Following conversion to single door format, 281 entered service from Dunoon depot in order to provide additional capacity for the world-famous Cowal Gathering at the end of August 2009 and thereafter transferred to Rothesay, on the Isle of Bute that lies within Scotland’s Firth of Clyde. UKBUS4017 is featured on route 490 to Rothesay Joint Campus, the location for Rothesay Primary School and Rothesay Academy. The intermediate blind features the company name “West Coast Motors”. UKBUS4017 is a one-piece casting whose clean lines accentuate the square-mounted gasket windows and livery application on which all logos and lettering are clearly legible. When the UKBUS4018 model of N401 GSX is released, collectors can make a detailed comparison of all different lettering on the two models that set them apart from each other. Another main feature on the UKBUS4017 model is the extensive handrails on both upper deck and lower deck. It is one of the significant achievements on this casting. The headlight and indicator units at the front are made of individual components to look more realistic. The brand new Volvo Olympian Royale bus models will be distributed by John Ayrey Die-Casts Limited (UK), Transit Graphics (Australia), cnmycar.com (P. R. China), Porte Publishing Company (Japan) and Concorde Hobby Shop (HK) respectively. The UKBUS4017 model is limited to 528 pieces worldwide. Photograph 1 CLICK
HERE to view UKBUS6028 Alexander Dennis Enviro400 Arriva Merseyside Creative Master Northcord Limited is pleased to announce the release of Alexander Dennis Enviro400 UKBUS6028. It is carrying Arriva’s corporate “inter-urban” livery with “crossriver express” route branding. UKBUS6028 represents fleet number 4408 (CX58 FZV) that was new in January 2009. Arriva North West took delivery of these stunning new vehicles in early January 2009 for use on the company’s prestigious Cross River Express Services that operate between an assortment of busy towns on the Wirral Peninsula, through both of the famous Mersey Tunnels beneath the River Mersey, to Liverpool. These vehicles resulted in both the 437 and the 432 / 433 services becoming fully accessible for the first time. Such has been the success of these vehicles, that the company has outgrown its current timetable due to popular customer demand and will be increasing the level of service on the Cross River Express later in 2010. Unlike the previous UKBUS6023 Arriva Northumbria, UKBUS6028 is representing the latest Arriva specifications on ADL Enviro400 vehicles. These are including the angled staircase behind the driver’s cab, new driving cab window, and new emergency window at the back. Creative Master Northcord is creating new design standards in the layout of the interior of both saloons. The features inside the compartments represent the really outstanding layout of the bus, including the extensive portrayal of handrails on both upper and lower decks and replicating the additional monitors in both saloons. The headlights at the front are made of individual components to look more realistic. The brand new Enviro400 bus models will be distributed by John Ayrey Die-Casts Limited (UK), Transit Graphics (Australia), cnmycar.com (P. R. China), Porte Publishing Company (Japan) and Concorde Hobby Shop (HK) respectively. The UKBUS6028 model is limited to 900 pieces worldwide. Photograph 1 CLICK

KITS FROM KINGSWAY MODELS Kingsway models have advised me of the release of two new kits: New from Kingsway are two kits - HE High Wycombe and FB Ferodo Bridge High Wycombe was an LT country area garage that had been built for Amersham & District. It was subsequently transferred to LCBS in 1970. The building remains in use today as a Staples stationery shop. The completed model measures 14.5" wide by 4" deep. The Ferodo bridge was a once familiar sight in many towns across the country. This one is modelled on one that stands on a now bypassed section of the North Circular Road. The model can be built as either a complete single span bridge or as a half relief double span bridge. Ideal for displaying model buses, as well as cars and commercial vehicles. The bridge deck is not included - stout card or thin ply can be used as required.

The model is finished in the authentic John Ayrey Diecasts livery of red & gold on a metallic black base colour, featuring accurate lettering and correct number plates.

The blister is attached to a well presented card backing sheet incorporating the ‘John Ayrey Diecasts’ logo, the ‘Creative Master Northcord’ logo & standard CMNL packaging colours.. The model can be accessed by peeling the top plastic cover away from the card backing sheet and removing the tray. For the retailer, this new form of expendable packaging has been designed so it can be displayed hung from a wall-mounted display, or it can also be placed in a free-standing position. Key features of the UKVAN series, include interior detail showing the driver’s instrument binnacle, steering wheel, single driver’s seat and twin passenger seat at the front, and also chassis detail that includes replicated drive-train and exhaust system as well as fuel tank and spare wheel. The windscreen wipers are individually made pieces and therefore the models are not suitable for children under 14 years of age.

PRESS
RELEASE FROM CREATIVE MASTER NORTHCORD LTD UKBUS4015 Alexander Royale-bodied Volvo Olympian Lothian Buses Following the significant success in launching the new casting of the Alexander Royale-bodied Volvo Olympian model in the livery of Lothian Buses in 2005, Creative Master Northcord Limited is releasing the fourth livery on this casting relating to Lothian Buses – UKBUS4015 in Lothian Buses’ fully madder and white, with increased white, on route 15A. UKBUS4015 represents Lothian Buses fleet number 269 (P269 PSX). Lothian Buses’ 269 was withdrawn on the morning of 29th July 2009 and was the last fully madder and white Royale to operate across the city centre in normal service. The model is being recreated as it was, on that day, when it operated its last normal service journey. The withdrawal of 269 left 4 Royales in the main fleet : 432 in “Lothian Red” and 272, 278 and 282 with madder and white fronts only as the remaining bodywork was covered in advertising for Scottish Hydro Electric. The final day for multi-step entrance buses, in normal service, was exactly one month later – on 29th August 2009 when the remaining buses were joined, for a very low-key, final journey to duplicate service 23, by Lothian Buses’ “preserved” Royale 285. Additionally, 433, in “Boat Bus” livery, still operates the service between Waverley Bridge and South Queensferry where it coordinates with the “Forth Belle” boat for cruises on the River Forth, during 2010. UKBUS4015 is a one-piece casting whose clean lines accentuate the gasket windows and livery application on which all logos and lettering are clearly legible. Another main feature on the UKBUS4015 model is its extensive handrails on both upper deck and lower deck. It is one of the significant achievements on this casting when new. The rectangular headlight and indicator units at the front are made of individual components to look more realistic. The brand new dual-door Alexander Royale Volvo Olympian double-deck bus models will be distributed by John Ayrey Die-Casts Limited (UK), Transit Graphics (Australia), Porte Publishing Company (Japan), cnmycar.com (P. R. of China) and Concorde Hobby Shop (HK) respectively. The UKBUS4015 model is limited to 900 pieces worldwide. Photograph 1 CLICK

Creative Master Northcord is creating new design standards in the layout of the interior of both saloons. The features inside the compartments represent the really outstanding layout of the bus, including the extensive portrayal of handrails on both upper and lower decks. The headlights at the front are made of individual components to look more realistic. CMNL’s Enviro400 model UKBUS6022 has additional features to Stagecoach ‘Provincial’ specification, including redesigned windows at the driving cab, an additional rear-facing seat at the rear of the upper-deck and redesigned rear dome incorporating a representation of the opening emergency window but lacking the indent for additional upper-saloon ventilation equipment found on some other Enviro400s.
