NORTHCORD MODEL COMPANY - PRESS RELEASE
The following press release has been received from the Northcord Model
Company:
UKBUS0074 ADL Enviro400 MMC - Reading Buses Green Line
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 version – UKBUS0074 in the livery of Reading Buses with full branding for Green Line.
UKBUS0074 represents fleet number 782 (SN66WRD), that was new to Reading Buses in 2017, utilising the 10.9 metre, single door casting (the actual bus has an 11.5 metre long body).
UKBUS0074 is displaying route 703 with destination of Bracknell via Windsor &
Legoland.
782 is carrying full greenline livery, including ‘greenline express’ on both sides and the rear, and ‘greenline’ on the front. The greenline livery and branding are 100% reproduced onto the UKBUS0074 model. The stand-out features of the branding are: route details “Bracknell / Windsor / Slough to LEGOLAND WINDSOR RESORT & Heathrow” on both sides; “WiFi & USB” on the front and “free WiFi & USB charging” on both sides; and “greenline702.co.uk” on the rear.
UKBUS0074 is the second Reading Buses Greenline model produced by Northcord Model Company. The previous one, UKBUS0062 (758, YX64VRU), carries special Green Line banners on each side with the destination at the front displaying ‘Legoland Windsor 702”. UKBUS0062 models were launched in September 2018.
In September 2023, the substantive livery, including pictures, on bus 782 was retained while the branding was changed to FlightLine703.
The Alexander Dennis Enviro400 MMC UKBUS0074 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 UKBUS0074 model is its twin tree protectors 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 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 UKBUS0074 model is limited to 1200 pieces worldwide.
