| The book is A5
size, paperback and consists
of 62 pages, all of which are in full colour on a good quality paper.
It
is printed in both Chinese and English.
The first five
pages consist of a list of
contents, an introduction and a foreword and acknowledgements.
Models from both
Corgi and EFE are listed,
one model to a page, and in the order that they were released,
commencing
with Corgis' CMB liveried MCW Metrobus and ending with the Dragon Boat
Festival liveried Olympian. Each page lists the vehicle type and fleet
number, date the model was introduced, the producer and their product
code,
the quantity produced, a photograph of the actual
vehicle and of the model,
with a brief background
of the vehicle.
The non-Hong
Kong releases, i.e. Macau Dart,
Singapore Olympian and Buspak models are listed separately.
There are two
pages showing hand-made and
white metal kits, and two pages which list a summary of the models - a
very handy "quick reference guide".
The final page
details the six latest releases,
NWFB "Wish Bus", Citybus Dart, Captain KMB Trident, CMB DMS,
NWFB
Trident/Duple Metsec and Dart, and includes a small photograph of each.
This book was
reviewed in the November 1999
edition of Buses magazine.
The 2nd volume
is due to be published im
March 2000.

book is a must for the collector of these models
