I have received an unconfirmed report that Corgi will not be releasing Citybus's Model No 44404, but will instead issue Model No 44507, carrying the same WWW livery. Further information on the Stagecoach set
is as follows. The Cambus Dart 364 was a demonstrator Dart/Plaxton and
was unique within Stagecoach for some time. The model is also the first
single-door version of Corgi's low floor Dart, the first two-door version
being Citybus of course.

The release of the Citybus "Network 26" set has been delayed until the second week in December. The following week will see the release of a Stagecoach set, the details of which I hope to receive shortly. Citybus will also be releasing, towards the end of December, a Millennium model, which will be a chrome plated Dennis Trident Metsec. There will be no external markings apart from the glazing, which will have the usual purple interior. Only 2,000 are to be released, and they will come in the same presentation box as other Corgi chrome plated Millennium models. It will also come with an engraved disc with the limited edition number on it. The KMB Neoplan Centroliner will not be a Corgi model, but will be a product of KMB themselves, similar to the arrangement NWFB has with the producers of their Dennis Darts.An ABC release, not hitherto mentioned, is that of Model No 000111, a further example of the "Jumbo" Daimler Fleetline, this time in the guise of LF 48. 22nd

Owing to a technical problem, ABC Models' LF108 and LF107 models (000102 & 00112A) have a mistake on the Limited Edition certificates. The Certificate for LF108 states "one of
a total production of 4,000 models only". The production is actually only
3,000 models, with 48 export models having Certificate 3001 to 3048 for
administrative and tracking/tracing purposes.
