Hello Everyone. I have just recieved my new Cars Workshop KMB Leyland Olympian 10.3m and KMB Dennis Jubilant both lovely models. What do others think of them? ...
Carl I think as many by now know that Cars Workshop (with the help of Best Choose in some instances) produce the best models out their, if you look at the seat...
I agree fully with David - I have the Olympian and it really is a cut above the competition. The only thing that slightly puzzles me is why they bothered to...
Hi David, Yes, both interior & exterior of first corgi KMB metrobus are not that great...now the models of Cars and drumwell are soooo much better! I think...
It is easy enough to do the sounds thing now. A small ROM chip can be placed in the engine bay complete with tiny speaker… With a small watch battery say...

David, It certainly looks good, but as you say, too late for a Xmas present here in the UK! I am hoping to receive further photos shortly, and have also sought...
Just seen the pics - very nice model! An interesting snippet in the latest "Buses" magazine is that Dublin Bus MAY purchase up to 50 Wrightbus/Volvo B9TL 3axle...
Corgi 44407 was in that livery ... From: busesrusuk [mailto:no_reply@yahoogroups.com] Sent: 15 December 2004 21:09 To: orientalmodelbuses@yahoogroups.com ...
... Certainly was and I have one. Unfortunately, in true Corgi "Cheapskate" style, it was the wrong length and the centre door was in the wrong place! Livery...
I think to be fair to Corgi they were not the cheapskates. I am sure if KCRC had wanted a proper acurate model they could have pad Corgi aor any f the others...
I agree the revised OOC Metrobus would be great in KCRC livery, choice of more than one scheme too. I beleve the Metrobus was a KMB commission, so little...
KCRC Metrobuses would be a great idea - a few liveries to do! Maybe they will appear one day as it seems a waste of one of the few really good Corgi castings...

Andrew If you keep your parcels to one item (£50.00) you may pay a little more for shipping but customs generally leave them alone. Any item above this amount...

Further to Graham's news on his website, there are pics on the CMNL Fotopic site. The obviuos differenecs are that they have modelled the toilet and the lack...

Thanks for that David. Don't forget that you have an opportunity to win one of these models if you enter the annual 'Best New Casting & Best Livery'...
I was hoping that it would be better than the intial photo's suggested. Having looked at the composited image on the 80M site am I the only person that thinks...
The pic shown good quality but actual quality is really bad, i've got one on Dec 31, costed me half hour in KMB service center to make up my mind, good luck! ...
Andrew As you can see from the attached photo the bottom edge is incorrect (pointed and not flat as in the real model) the bus also seems a bit narrow to me ...
