What bus types would you like made?

[Deleted]

Are there any bus types you would like to be produced?

And also, what liveries/destinations/routes etc would you like any existing models to have?

For the bus types, I have a few suggestions.

ALX200 - I would love this type to be produced. i cant understand why this one hasnt been produced yet, especially as the ALX400 has been produced for years. I would really like to see one of the Edmonton ALX200s (routes W14, 397) which were ex-Arriva East Herts.

Optare Versa- A very modern bus type. It probably hasnt been produced yet as it is a pretty new bus type. It would be great to see one in Arriva livery for Harlow to Chelmsford route 59.

Marshall Dart- Would be popular with London bus enthuasiasts, as so many were and still are with London bus companies. It would be great to see one on a First Walthamstow or Chingford route as i am often on them around there.

Wright Cadet- Definatly one of my favourites. The similar Wright Endurance/ Wright Axcess etc etc etc have been produced, so I think this type should be too. An East Thames Buses on route 108 would be good. I dont think an East Thames bus has been produced yet. Also a Cadet on route 313 would be good.

For the existing bus types produced, I think some more Blue Triangle buses need to be produced. Id quite like an Enviro 200 or Pointer Dart.

Also, I think a good effect would be weathering. Some model trains have this effect. With a model bus i think graffiti would be another good effect, although I dont think many bus companies would be pleased a bus of theirs has been modelled with graffiti ;D

So, any more suggestions?

Dennis marshalls with E9/7 would be one I would kill for

Well, firstly a nice model of an E400 Scania would be nice. In fact, just the real thing in London would suit me ;D

On a serious note, definately the above, plus one of Stagecoach's old VN's, but only the LWB version's.

On the subject of Scania, have any models been released of their low floor ranges? Maybe one of Blue Triangles SO's would be an appropriate model, or one of Metrobuses versions?

Definatly would like to see the Man Enviro200...much better than the ordinary version.

If your interested, there isnt a Gemini 2 for route 23 obviously, but there is an ALX400 on route 23. You might know about this already.

In my first post in this thread, I said I would like to see a Enviro200 in Blue Triangle livery. My wish has come true, and Creative Master Northcord are producing SE32 (SN57DWY) and will be released in April 2010.

Also, for you First fans, there is DM44414 (YX09FLP) released in May 2010

[Volvo]

I am not a first fan but i do like first and wouldn't mind having that DM.

Also no doubt the MAN E200 is better than the boring allison versions. I really wish more operators would order than instead of the allison crap or even MAN MCVs.

I would like models of:

* London General's DOE class Trident
* B9TL Gemini in any London livery (baring in mind theire are model B7TL variants)
* DW class Wright bodied DAF DB250 or DB300
* Metrobus MAN (used on the 202)
* Sutton's PVL class B7TL in its present refurbished state
* ELS class Scanias

I've just found this thread.....so, I'd like to see the following.....

AEC RT/Cravens body : can be done in red or green, plus loads of second operator options.

Alexander W type : London Country had a batch of AEC Swifts with this body (the SMA class)

An RCL Routemaster with the doors missing (so it can accurately depict those that ran on route 149 etc.)

Northern Counties Palatine 1 body : a massive gap in the diecast world, this - numerous operators and liveries including London Central/General, various First Group permutations and more.

I would like to see the model of the prototypes Volvo that was exhibited at Merton.
