Hello Hugh and Dave,

Ramsay's 14th Edition 2012 has four models listed including two buses in red / cream as well as green / cream
The short listing under Minor Manufacturers includes
Dumper truck in various colours
Crane in various colours
Elevator Loader in various colours
Double Deck Bus.

From the photos the description would be something like this :
Red body, cream roof, cream window pillars, red painted metal wheels, flat nail head crimped axles, silver hand painted grille.
Green body, cream roof, cream window pillars, unpainted metal wheels, flat nail head crimped axles, white decal with red text, silver hand painted grille.
My description is based on the photos being original models and not repaints. My assumption is a decal, photo is not clear.

Cheers

Bert

That is interesting Bert ,many thanks ,perhaps i should get a newer ramsays lol, ,but theres still a mystery wheres the mine train?,this came in many combinations and theres lots of them so not mentioned and if you are right about a decal,then thats a first,i would expect the bus to be made a couple of years each side of 1950,very few decals about then,but never say never
