RT4050 is seen here in the London Country livery which graced many RT's at the beginning of the company's life. On route 483 to Crawley and Northgate, it carries period adverts for Birdseye Walls frozen foods. |
|
In its unique livery of the late 'sixties, NLE 859, fleet number RT3752, is on route 310 to Hertford Bus Station. As this bus was redecorated before the NBC takeover, it carries the Lordon Country "Flying Polo" logo on its offside and makes an attractive addition to the fleet. |
|
In its original pre-overhaul livery of red and cream, FJJ 736, fleet number SRT 29, represents a vehicle from around 1949 with reduced blinds showing route 4 to Walthamstow, the first to be entirely converted to SRT operation. Details include adverts for British Rail Holidays, Brylcream, and Aspro. Also garage plates, offside blind and "Watch Your Step" roundel add to the charm of this highly detailed model. |

The Jersey RTL has been requested for the past 10 years and in this model we have featured fleet number 3 on route 9 to St. Helier via St. Ouen's Parish Church. This attractive model carries adverts for Mary Anne Bitter, JMT Rover Tickets and Round the Island Tours. |

One of a batch of five RTL's acquired by Walsall from London Transport in 1959, OLD 603, fleet number 205 is seen here on route 5 to Walsall. Its all over blue livery is broken by yellow coachlines making for a very distinctive vehicle which has been the subject of many requests. It is further enhanced by new adverts for Highgate Mild Ale and Esso Safety Grip Tyres. |

Our first RT for some time commemorates the Festival of Britain in 1951. Within the Dome of Discovery the RT was exhibited as the "bus of the future". Registered KXW 179, RT 3070 was one of four RT's that toured Europe advertising the Festival of Britain. Fitted with GB plates which remained with them for life, these buses operated the circular tour of London in 1951. |
|
In response to many recent requests for a RT in London Transport's country livery, is fleet number RT1023. Registered JXN 61 working route 396 to Bishops Stortford, the model carries EP4 garage identification and has adverts for Mac's No1 beer and Technics Hi Fi. |

On Coronation Day buses ran on services that were strange to them. Our bus RT1197 registered KGK 666 would have been seen in Edgware Road on service 23A. Still fitted at this time with the rear hub covers, it displays in the lower deck front window the special Coronation destination notice for Marylebone Road. |
