PRESS RELEASE .........
21st November 2002
Creative Master Northcord Limited has proudly
released its second livery on the replica Sunwin Volvo B7R model in the
colours of the Shanghai Shen Xin Bus Service Company Limited. Shanghai
Shen Xin Bus Service Limited commenced operation in March 1998. It is a
Sino-Singapore joint venture company, jointly owned by Shanghai No.2 Public
Transport Company and SBS International Holdings Private Limited, a member
of the Singapore DelGro Corporation Limited.
The Shanghai Shen Xin Bus Service Limited
bus SWK001 is shown operating on Showcase Route 49 in downtown Shanghai.
It is one of 25 Sunwin Volvo SWB6120KHV-3s of which the Company took delivery
at the end of 2001.
The replica features excellent detailing,
inside and out, including an opening engine door and engine detail. This
is a one-piece casting whose clean lines accentuate the windows and livery
application on which all logos and lettering are clearly legible. The model
has no ugly metal poles to hold it together.
The cnbus 1002 model is limited to 2,000
pieces for worldwide distribution. They will be distributed by John Ayrey
Die-Casts Limited (UK), Porte Publishing Company (Japan) and Concorde Hobby
Shop (HK) respectively.
