Might head over there! Would be good to photograph a few models on display.

I will you there then!
I've been to the model bus event and I have to say it is a load of crap.

That looks quite nice, actually. May consider it.
Not a collector of models in any sense, just the odd few that I've felt the need to pick up over time. As it stands; Angel B5HL 6067 and Olympian 3737.
Might start going hardcore with them...
Edit: With 3737's model on the 8 to Barnard Castle, and 3665 on the 1 to Tow Law (assuming these were Bishop Auckland routes when the depot was still operated by GNE), it would be nice to see them side-by-side.
Just put a load of Model Buses up for Sale on eBay, all are Unfinished Code 3 Repaints which I have done, so if anyone on here has a personal Model Fleet and also Paints Models then there might be something that will interest you.

I have the 3737 model. It came as a surprise when i saw it on the NDA scholars when it was with Classic. It only took me 8 months to realise which bus it was!
Does anyone have any website links or anything, for the stalls that are usually present at the NE rallies?

http://www.davesdiecastmodels.co.uk/ - Site is rarely updated mind, probably better off purchasing Models off of ehattons or eBay.

Ehattons is quite good, ordered a few times from them.. although i haven't bought a model in 1 or 2 years.

Cheers! That was the one I was looking for, after you mentioned it to me at Seaburn last year.

Aye I've used them quite a bit. Was looking to purchase a few of the blue/red GNE models from them, as I tend not to bother with anything but North East models.
I'm hoping they do a model of either the Coast & Country or X66 Streetlite in the near future. There's a lot of detail to go into it.
Been quite sometime since I did an update on my Model Bus Collection.
Recent purchases include: Stagecoach NB4L (Poppy Livery), Stagecoach North East Enviro 400 (62 to Chapel House), Go North East (Pink Angel), Western Scottish Leyland National & Lothian Buses Volvo B7RLE (21 to Leith Walk)
Also read in Buses Magazine yesterday that Northcord are re-entering the 1:76th Scale Model Bus market, with the company set to release models based on the 10.3/10.9m Alexander Enviro 400MMC and Alexander Dennis Enviro 400 City, Models will be both single and dual doored diesel and hybrid variations, with it's first releases to come before the end of year.
Locomotion have a sale on model vehicles at the moment.
Off memory, there was:
OK Fleetline
ECW Olympian (can't remember route or which batch it was).
Northumbria Merc Minibus
Northumbria Atlantean on the 45.
and one or two others.
Didn't get a chance to look fully, but all reduced to around the tenner mark.
