I'm sure Corgi (?) make/made a pack that had a NBFL along with a RM and something else (RT?) in it, Think it was expensive though  |

Third link down is broken, freebbc.
The top link is a representation of some sort of generic Hong Kong double decker, which was made by the French diecast company Majorette, throughout the 70s and 80s. There was a green version too.

its a model bus. but im onto the small toy buses which are played by kids.  But the Majorette one looks like Daimler Fleetline with the palatine body. but the titans got to be the popular amongst the kids toys |

Must admit I had a little fleet (3) of the Matchbox Fleetlines (the model/toy that has the open front door).
One even ended up as a single decker......

I had two of the Matchbox Leyland Titans, one became a single decker when I chucked off the 1st floor of a block of flats. That one also looked like Metroline had painted it as the paint faded into a pinky colour. I managed to repair it as the clips didn't break but I did lose the upstairs plastic interior! The other Titan was brought from a jumble sale for 50p and was in good condition. I also had a Corgi bus - think it was a Fleetline with back doors that opened. I also owned two unknown buses which I just made them out to be MCW Metrobus ;D |

I would preserve her ... but she was cut up for the Arsenal museum at Highbury for a mock wooden framed DMS2291 (Leaside open topper for parades) |

Nah, definately wasn't Matchbox or the ones in your link above. I'm pretty sure it was a Corgi one unless it was made by someone else. Along with my Matchbox Titans, Fleetline & pretend MCW Metrobuses, I had two Chad Valley Routemasters, 2 Matchbox USA school buses which I pretended were Pointer Darts ;D and the only survivor - an Irish liveried Routemaster still in the box. |

I want the set just for the trolley, couldn't give a toss about Boris' ego trip design. The Q1 trolley is one of Corgi's nicest castings, and the pick of that set, for me. The NBfL, decent casting though it is, shows the wooden mock-up that was in the LTM (and thus isn't a real bus!), and the RM casting isn't, for me, a patch on the very good EFE model of the same bus. |

Agree with all of that. Must admit Corgi's larger anniversary casting of RM1 was much better. That one will always take pride of place alongside T1 in my cabinets ;D |
