A Dennis Trident/Alexander ALX400, converted like all of my ALX400s, (Creative Master Northcord excepted) from the Corgi Citybus ALX500. This bus shows the low-floor livery. A second Dennis Trident/Alexander ALX400, converted like all of my ALX400s, (Creative Master Northcord excepted) from the Corgi Citybus ALX500. This bus shows the low-floor livery. Both of the Dennis Trident/Alexander ALX400s in the low-floor livery. A DAF/Alexander ALX400 of Arriva South London (left - the inside of this bus was completely replaced) and the First Citybus version (Creative Master Northcord).
An interloper, a Plaxton President/Volvo. Head-on shot of (from the left) the Stagecoach Tident, First Capital and Arriva South London versions. Note that the First Capital stands higher than the other two. DAF/Alexander ALX400: the Original Omnibus Company conversion from the 3-axle Trident - the interior had to be completely redone, so I used Mark Hughes Models' seats. DAF/East Lancs Myllenium - the PSG Models kit, converted to dual-door.
DAF/Optare Delta, another Original Omnibus Company dual-door conversion. The seating unit had to be cut into 3 parts to get the correct alignment with the centre door. Three STLs, standing outside the 'Queens Hotel', showing the liveries they carried (the middle and nearest buses with fleetnames changed). I know the fleetname on the original is wrong, but I do not want to spoil it. Please note the nearest bus has no roofbox - I beat EFE on that one! A Volvo Olympian/Alexander RH, a conversion from the 3-axle Original Omnibus Company Original Olympian, with the two-step entrance added. Volvo Olympian/Northern Counties (low height): A Lancer Models kit conversion to dual-door and, thanks to John Booth, I was able to do the correct conversion.
