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

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.

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

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... :lol:

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.
