| The model
- Details
of this model were received in January 2023 thanks to Robin Bennett. I
believe it was released in November 2015 but if you know different,
please e-mail me.
The bus
- Following
the successful trial of three 10.5
metre ECW bodied two-axle Leyland Olympians in 1981 (fleet nos. BL1-3),
Kowloon Motor Bus ordered a further 120 examples, but to a reduced
length of 9.5 metres and with Alexander bodywork. The first twenty
(fleet nos. BL4-23) were delivered in 1983 with a second batch of
thirty (fleet nos. BL24-53) being delivered in 1984. A third
batch of
forty (fleet nos. BL54-93) arrived in February/March 1985 and
a final
batch of thirty (fleet nos. 94-123) arrived in
August/September 1985.
BL16 was first registered on 1st September 1983.
