PRESS RELEASE 24th November 2008
Sunwin SWB6100V2 - cnbus 1014 Shanghai
City Sightseeing
Having made the significant success of its
cnbus 1013 model, Creative Master Northcord Limited has proudly released
its latest example of the newly re-tooled Sunwin model, cnbus 1014. It
is carrying the Shanghai City Sightseeing livery.
Demonstrating the flexibility of the cnbus
1000 castings, cnbus 1014 incorporates features drawn from both mainstream
styles issued to date.
cnbus 1014 has the original style front,
with individual front bumper, but has the newer style of driver rear-view
mirrors rather than the one-piece “rabbit ear” style normally associated
with the older front.
Internally, the City Sightseeing buses operated
on route 6 by Shanghai Ba-Shi Group have the two-step entrance that was
first introduced on cnbus 1012 (Shanghai Shen Xin bus).
cnbus 1014 features bus number S0D-214 (registration
B-07830) and, although operated by Shanghai Ba-Shi Group, it carries City
Sightseeing livery rather than standard fleet colours. Other routes terminating
at Shanghai Stadium, such as route 10 also carry City Sightseeing livery,
although operated by other operators, using buses with Sunwin chassis and
with bodywork to a similar style to the cnbus 1014 model.
Route 6 terminates at Shanghai Stadium. The
Shanghai Stadium is a multi-use stadium In Shanghai, China. It is currently
used mostly for football matches. The stadium was built in 1997 for the
8th National Games of People's Republic of China event, and has an area
of 190 thousand m2. It can hold about 80,000 people, so it is also called
the "80,000 people's Stadium" . It is the second-largest stadium in China
after completion of the Beijing National Stadium in 2007. It had been used
for football preliminaries at the 2008 Summer Olympic Games.
cnbus 1014 features excellent detailing,
inside and out. This is a one-piece casting whose clean lines accentuate
the windows and application of Shanghai City Sightseeing livery on which
all logos and lettering are clearly legible on the paint. The model has
no unnecessary metal poles to hold it together.
The cnbus 1014 model is limited to 1000 pieces
for worldwide distribution. They will be distributed by John Ayrey Die-Casts
Limited (UK), Porte Publishing Company (Japan), Transit Graphics (Australia),
cnmycar.com (P.R. China) and Concorde Hobby Shop (HK) respectively.t Graphics
(Australia), cnbycar.com (P.R. China) and Concorde Hobby Shop (HK) respectively.
