Hi...

AEC Regent in Newcastle colours.
Thanks to Roo for pointing me in the right refs direction.

Cheers

I was glad to be of help Peter. You are doing a real good job.

Nice Pete any chance you can do an A1 bus service one next (my old bus company) before stagecoach barged in seeing one with Stevenston Pillar box would bring back some memories (old ICI) route and the bus I used to get to work when I was 15

Hi Davy...
if you can find good colour pics...I'll give it a try.

Old buses....
One thing that always struck me was when you had been away on business or holiday in the old days, when you first saw a local bus it made you feel you had indeed got home....gone all misty eyed again...lol.

Cheers
Peter

Another gem Peter.

I know what you mean about the nostalgia feeling. A few years ago in Bradford they had a bus museum specially built and I went for a visit. I couldn't believe it when I saw they had the old trolley busses with the overhead lines running. I had a ride on one and it suddenly felt like I was back in my childhood.
Unfortunately the place closed down rather quickly due to lack of visitors.

Pete,
here's some A1 buses although I used to get the squarer type to work,

OPS!!I thought it was with me! :-) :-)

Hi


You're septic Martin (dislexia intended)...lol.
The next painting underway is a trolley bus.
Will post when done.


And thanks Davy.
The Daimler looks more in keeping with the age of busses I'm doing.
I'll give it a go...and its blue too.
When you say squarer...do you mean similar to the first two paintings? Do you know what make?
There was quite a few manufacturers during the 30's to 60's...Leyland, Guy, AEC, Daimler, Bristol to name but a few.
Also what would have been in the destination window and the number?

And BUS...any Brazilian bus pics lying around?

Cheers
Peter

Pete,
tthe bus I used to get was like the 2nd either Leyand/denis/volvo pic I've posted but the other one ( Daimler) has the correct destination on it

Although the more modern bus is not what I'm doing in series, I'll give it a go.

I'm also due to take a step in the direction of a military truck. I've found a lovely ref pic of a 1950's British Road Services Leyland Hippo.
If it turns out, I will then tackle an Army AEC Matador or Beddie QL.

Cheers
Peter
