IMPORTANT
INFORMATION
I
can confirm that whilst my web hosting company has upgraded my account,
allocating me 10GB of space on a new server, they have not uploaded
the site to this new server!
As a result I am having to do this manually, which is likely to take most of Friday - my apologies for lots of missing pages and images in the meantime. 6th November 2015

 The first news reported on 5th November 1998 :- 'The Capital Citybus Olympian (43214) has now been released and appeared in shops on 5/6th November.The model is on general release, and was produced in a quantity of 6,900'
And
the bad news..... in attempting to upload photographs tonight
of KMB Trident ATR1, my web hosting company tells me
that I have used 99.95% of my allocated webspace - looks like I shall be looking for new web hosting company! An upgrade giving me 5 times more webspace is imminent, however the site is likely to be 'down' for 2-3 hours whilst this takes place. Further details will be posted on the site's Facebook page. 5th November 2015
