... I think the grill came as part of the 'kit' from Alexanders, but there were a few different designs before they settled on the final version, which, in my...
Appreciated, Dave. I had no idea if this was part of the original fittings or retro fitting by KMB. Now all we need is the model! Regards Donald ... ...
I know it's not related to Hong Kong buses, but just have a place to share~ I've been few months to make my decision and finally I bought this big bus and...
The recent discussions relating to future KMB releases gave me a little nudge into finishing off a table I started a while ago. In the files section there is a...
Your list will need updating already :) Graham has just announced that another 11m Metro will be released - this time the one-off experimental aircon fitted...
At least I did have it marked as still to be produced, I wonder if the changes necessary to produce this version will prevent any further standard releases. ...
Andrew, An excellent point of reference and obviously you have spent some considerable time in putting it together - thank you. With regard to the announcement...

Thanks Harry, I should have worded my appeal as follows!! "On this same subject, has anyone come across a colour photo of DP1932 in it's original livery?" ...
Whilst the aircon version is very welcome - what a shame that only one "normal" release is planned. KMB must have plenty of money to spend if they only want...
Oh yes please, S3M254 on Route 7, which was the only one which we noted reaching Star Ferry on any service last month. I seemed to catch up it so often with...
Sorry, can't help with that request. I was tempted to say yes but it would probably be a couple of years before I could provide the answer! Hopefully someone...
Is this the one? Still running on 28th November. EL7065 -- S3M254 - the fleet number is so hard to find - I suspect it's that red blur in the drivers window!...
That's it, Stuart. In November, it seemed to be the only Metrobus operating into Tsim Sha Tsui, and the other dozen or so remaining required a little searching...

What I find amazing is the pristine condition and cleanliness of these 17-year-old vehicles, when I consider the appearance of the '54' reg buses of Wilts &...
And the almost unmarked condition of the interiors, when compared with the treatment meted out to so many vehicles by "passengers" in the UK. Donald ... ...
Took the pics on my way to the Oriental Garden Restaurant for a table full of Dim Sum. Wanna see the pics? :)))) Stuart - wishing he was back there....
I currently have a Trident in allover white in an attempt to reproduce this livery, it is currently sitting amongst a long line of semi finished projects! I...
Hello Andrew I also have that book and your answer is in the Trident chapter on pages 128 and page 131 that the photos are of the 2 different buses. Cheerie ...
