| The model -
What
was expected to be an ABC Models release, this CMB water bowser instead
appears from two new manuafacturers, Ox Transport Models and Best Choose.
The bus
- This vehicle was originally a short wheelbase single decker, being new
in March 1964. In 1968 it was damaged by fire and in November 1969 was
rebodied as a double decker, becoming fleet number S1. This rebodying proved
so successful that it led to further rebodying of single deckers into double
deckers.
S1 was withdrawn from service in 1980, after
which it was converted into a water bowser. |
