The last blog on the website for two weeks , however I may put some on Facebook direct while away. I still haven't got to grips with taking any pictures with the blessed computer phone, bad enough turning it on and off and even if I did take a picture how would I get it on the Facebook post. I think I'm light years away from that tech. More shots from the truck visit on the A50 and a few more from Preston. It took a lot of time getting the car ready for the garage to work on it while I'm away. Last year they had it 2 weeks and forgot about it! Packing is just finished although a couple of bits to go in my camera bag. I'm certainly quite exhausted and ready for the heat and a partial rest although I've got a three day breakaway from the girls for transport and two one day excursions ditto. I have progressed the Bangladesh trip, just need to get the train tickets, flight ticket and book hotels other than Dhaka which my guide Hasan insists on booking himself. The pre orders are coming in for the Enviro 400EV, all sent on as soon as they land to China but not while I'm away, I'll catch up as soon as I can after returning. New 1/76 4mm scale model buses announced by Brilliant Buses and updates of the previous releases. BB020 - Route 43 Metroline - BB021 - Route 94 RATP GROUP - BB022 - Route 173 Stagecoach - BB023 - Route 180 Stagecoach - BB024 - Route 212 Go Ahead These are very much the earlies pre production models and much work remains to be done. The models will not have branding , fleet names or adverts but these are supplied as water slides ( transfers, decals) which are easily applied to the models. It will assist fleet modellers to vary the finish or even apply their own fleet identity and exchange between buses to give them individual finishes. They will be priced at £100 plus postage from China to UK and I would suspect that the buyer will be liable to import duty ( like VAT). BB are hoping to get the models out this year ( 2025) . The Wright Fusion is waiting for production line space before that there will be the Singapore Enviro500 3 door version which is hope to be one of the first post spring festival holiday models to appear. I will help facilitate ordering the models via the PMP site shop but I am not selling them and make no gain other than try as a model bus collector to get more models out there for us all.
