RESULTS
Over 200 of you took part in this year's Vote, which was again split into two categories, one being for the Favourite New Casting of 2006, the second being the Favourite Livery of 2006. Both covered the same period, i.e. 1st December 2005 - 30th November 2006. The prizes for the winner of the Favourite New Casting of 2006 category and the Favourite Livery of 2006 are kindly being provided by both 80M Bus Model Shop. I am very grateful to them for offering these excellent prizes - Thank you.
Your first choice for
each category was awarded
3 points, your second choice 2 points and your 3rd choice 1 point. At
the
end of voting, all the points for each model/livery were totalled, and
the full results are shown below.
FAVOURITE NEW CASTING 2006
This category was dominated
by two models, the recently issued Drumwell MCW Metrobus and the Cars
Workshop
Volvo B9TL/Enviro 500. The Metrobus led from start to finish,
eventually
beating the challenge of the Volvo B9TL/Enviro 500 by 50 points. Third
and fourth place were very close, with the Cars Workshop Volvo
B10TL/Volgren
finally beating the same manufacturer's Tilling-Stevens by just 4
points.
Fifth place, with 68 points went to the Best Choose Tilling-Stevens.
Sixth
place went to the 1/120 scale Leyland Victory from Best Choose, which
polled
40 points closely followed in seventh place by Corgi's 1/50th scale
Daimler
A, with 36 points.
Eighth
and ninth places
went the Britbus's Olympian and the Best Chooses 1/120th scale Daimler
Fleetline respectively.

FAVOURITE LIVERY 2006
This category was also dominated by two models, both the Year of the Dog liveries. The Citybus/New World First Bus livery polled 476 points, with KMB's version taking 381. Third place, with 184 points, was the new Shanghai Shen Xin livery and in fourth and final place, with 69 points, was the livery of the Hiroshima Electric Railway (Hiroden).
With only 4 choices,
it was not surprising that the votes of 74 of you matched that of the
overall
result. These names were put into the hat, with Steve Mills of the UK
being
drawn as the winner. He
will receive the Cars
Workshop Alexander-Dennis Enviro 500 in all over white livery from 80M
