Dinky Atlantean Masquerading as London DM

What a nice line up. Looks like a rally day at Cobham.

What a great line up Jason.

I hadn't thought of that, but it does look rather like a bus rally, just lacking people! This line-up of Routemasters is from Cobham in 2009. The second vehicle from the camera is one of the actual buses I am modelling.

Yellow Pages K-15 in Christmas service. Happy New Year.

[GHOSTHUNTER]

Is the Yellow Pages label between the headlamps deliberately reversed or is this an error you slipped in to test us

Probably done so you can read it in your rear view mirror, similar to what was done on Ambulances?

Bob gets the prize. BTW: That's also the way Dinky had it on their Atlantean.

...yes I remeber, I used to have one and that's what made me look at yours.

Touching on Bob's comment about reading it in the rear view mirror...a bit dangerous and I would have thought an Ambulance behind you is quite obvious, especially if it is on a job with Blues and Twos going...

Looks good placed in that Christmas diorama.

We tried reverse lettering on emergency vehicles here in America too. I think there were too many accidents caused by people trying to read the reverse lettering as the vehicles were coming toward them.

BTW: The bus is running on a Matchbox Motorway.

Here is another shot of the bus outside the garage. I didn't like how the homemade stickers came out. Then again, they were never quite convincing on the Dinky version either.
