| The model -
this model follows on from the previous issue of AL1 in late October. This
version carries the additional wording for Denso, makers of the air-conditioning
unit used.
The bus
- AL1 was the prototype 11-metre Leyland Olympian and entered service on
12th May 1988. it was used extensively for trialling the air-conditioning
equipment. It was unique, being the only vehicle in the class to feature
opening windows, just in case the air-con failed! It also featured
a small destination screen compared to the others in the class. Photographs
of the bus can be found on Gakei's
excellent site. |
