Please note that I am currently carrying out maintenance work on the Olympian pages of this site, and some links to such pages may not work - Should you wish to view a particular Olympian page, go to the Models link at the top of the page, and choose vehicle type, and then choose Leyland or Volvo Olympian. And yet another new manufacturer enters the market, this time it is Buses Model Co, who are to release two models of a Guy Arab IV single deck bus, as shown below.
I have just received details and photographs of the Citybus "Greener Buses" liveried Trident (44513), which is expected to be released shortly.

On 19th October, I made reference to the "New World First Bus" book, by Mike Davis, and that I would give a detailed review in due course. Well, having now had ample opportunity to read and digest this excellent new book, I do not feel that there is anything more that I can add to my previous comments, and those that describe it here. It has to be the point of reference for New World First Bus, as are Mike's previous four Volumes on the other Hong Kong operators, and with the recent release of the NWFB Super Olympian, you will note that some of the information on this site comes from this book with, I must add, Mike's kind permission!! Of course, amongst the plethora of colour photographs, are the possibilities for future model releases, a Centroliner, a Driver Training Metrobus or Condor, who knows? 20th

In my Information page, I include an acknowledgement section, where I have attempted to list those people who have kindly assisted me by providing news, information and photographs. You will note that there is no mention of Corgi or EFE - basically because despite writing to each, on several occasions, no response was forthcoming. More to the point, I would to take this opportunity to especially thank those people, and companies, who REGULARLY DO take the trouble to provide such information for YOU.
New World First Bus have today announced that they will be issuing a Volvo Super Olympian with Alexander ALX500 bodywork (20005). The model is expected to be released on 17th November. More details will follow shortly. I am grateful to New World First Bus for this information. It is also rumoured (unofficially) that there
will be a NWFB Centroliner in the not too distant future....watch this
space!!!!
I have just received a sample of both the
Cars Workshop Daimler "D" (38001)
and the Model Express Dennis Dominator SD3 (SD3),
and hope to give a brief review of each in the next day or so. In the meantime,
if anyone would like any specific information on either, please e-mail
me.
Please note that from now on, model/product numbers will be identified by being in brackets. 13th
