Model Buses
Model Buses
Anybody collect these or even pick the odd one up? I tend to pick the odd one up if I'm a fan of the branding or vehicle, but tend to stick with North East or TfL stuff. I'm hoping GNE commission something new like the green Angel.
Picked up a couple of new models lately. Ordered the New Bus for London new from Model Zone, with the 'We Will Rock You!' banner.

I also picked up a couple of models on eBay. Specifically a President on the 21, and an MPD on the 734.

I have few GNE Bus Models which include:
GNE MPD 734/Doxford Clipper
Citylink Citaro
Coastline ECW Olympian
Coastline Wright Renown
Northern Superliner MCW MetroBus Released in 1993
I have various other bus models which you can see on this link http://www.flickr.com/photos/adammalarke...193648077/
I quite like the London General Gemini. I've been keeping a look out for one for quite a while, but I'm looking at the Tyne and Wear PTE models more now. I've recently bought both the Sunderland Busways and Newcastle Busways Olympian metrobus models.
Another Recent Model Repaint I have just finished doing. In the form of a Blaydon Racers Mercedes Citaro.

If Go North East were to produce another Model Bus what would you like to see?
I would of included Angel Hybrid Gemini 2 which is an obvious one, but currently the Gemini 2 Model is only available in China.
The Options Are
Red Kite Scania Omnicity
OK Way Dennis Dart MPD
Royal British Legion Wright Solar
Wheyaye50 Wright Solar
Other
Just finished these off this morning

(02 Sep 2013, 7:17 pm)BJ10VUS £65 is the pre-order price. Once they're sold in shops, (or wherever they're going to be distributed from) the price will go up to £74.99. Doubt they'll get any cheaper, unfortunately
(02 Sep 2013, 7:18 pm)Michael Still not worth it, what a bloody rip off

(02 Sep 2013, 7:22 pm)BJ10VUS If it's limited edition, I guess they'll charge it because they can.
Seems a bit much though, considering the Angel is only £27.99
