Y2 B Type Bus variations.

Post by YYS4BOB »

New addition to the garage.

No guide ribs for "GENERAL", no locating rib on front destination board and only partial reinforcing to passenger platform.

Note only a bar across the rear.

From left to right in pictures 1 & 2, front to back in picture 3.
No reinforcing, rear reinforcing only & full reinforcing.
I've been searching for one of these partially reinforced examples since Matthias posted his on MOYBOYZ some time ago. This one came from Germany.

Always nice to add another variation to a collection, just a shame sometimes we have to wait soooo long for them to turn up!

This playworn one is missing the rear staircase and has been stood on but has a minor difference from my other two

Fairly easy to spot :lol:

Must give it a clean :roll: :roll:

Reversed wheels are seen on models from time to time. I guess the ladies doing the assembly didn't know that brake drums go on the inside..........
