Hello, I have just found this Routemaster bus, it seems to have two different wheel types, GPW on the front and BPW on the rear, Is this a factory error or modified?

Some clear close up pictures of the axle ends are needed before comments could be made

Closer....closer......

Sorry these are the only pictures I have of it, If I do get it, Ill take more up close and high quality pictures.

I found it too on ebay UK yesterday. Now I won/paid it, but it will recive my brother in UK, and it will be in my hand only after Christmas. So be patiente Reg, MatchboxFreak and all others who are intresting, the pictures will arrive soon...

I have to be a non believer on this one . My bet is a dad fix. Until i see close up pics that is .

I'm with you Alex - never seen anything like this. It isn't completely unprecedented though as models exist (27c Cadillac springs to mind) that have been found with combinations of silver and grey plastic wheels.

Cheers,

I too think that it is unlikely to be genuine, but for just £5 it was definitely worth a punt.
