CASTING - IRISH COMMISSIONED MODEL FROM JOTUS.COM Adrian Lemon has written to advise me that himself and Derek Farrelly (who commissioned EFE model 24821 Mercedes minibus - Dublin bus CITY IMP) have commissioned another Irish model. The model will feature a new resin casting from Jotus.com of the CIE KD class. There will be two separate models each limited to 150 pieces. Click
on the links below to view early samples of the model: 1. CIE KD100 - Route 77 Belgarde Road via Dolphins Barn with no adverts 2. KD221 of Phibsboro Garage carrying Dublin Bus wording and adverts Adrian advises me that "the model price can't be given as of yet, but models are in production and are subject to import duty in Ireland which can be significantly higher than our neighbours in the UK". I will publish more details including how to order as soon as they are available. Saturday 24th October 2015 |

MODEL 38124 BRISTOL VRT - DURHAM DISTRICT - CHANGE OF DETAILS Further to my news of last Friday (see below), EFE have today advised that they have changed the details. They explained that "The model was prepared from information sent in to us which at the time we believed to be genuine, subsequently we have found the vehicle to have been fictitious and the reference image to have been expertly photoshopped" The model has now been changed to a United Counties model as follows, EFE have also sent me pre-production photographs of the new model: 38124 Bristol VRT - United Counties LONDON
BUS MUSEUM MODEL UPDATE "Unfortunately the Jotus LT model has been delayed due to production difficulties and will not be available in time for our Transportfest 2015 event on the 18th October. Although we will have one of each of the production models on display at our Transportfest event, the main production quantity will not be completed until the end of October - beginning of November. Any customers pre-orders will be processed as soon as the models are delivered. The London Bus Museum would like to apologise for this delay and any inconvenience caused". CONFIRMED
RELEASES FROM CORGI OOC Although not scheduled for general release until next week, I have read a report today of somebody receiving their Poppy New Routemaster OM46612 today having ordered it from Corgi. CONFIRMED
