On a recent visit to Wong Chuk Hang, I was pleased to see the former China Motor Bus depot had received a coat of paint, but a little disappointed that a dull grey paint had been used rather than the original blue, as shown in Donald MacRae's photograph taken over 25 years ago!

5th November 2024

Today marks the 26th anniversary of this website

I find it hard to believe that 26 years have passed since I launched the site and that the models featured in the first month of news are now that old, not to mention the age of the webmaster!!
