I am too lazy to take individual photos of all my die-cast
models, so I will post a photo of my entire collection...
My favourites would be the SBST twin models (bottom shelf), the
Berlin 3-axle MAN double-decker (middle shelf), and the various
Hong Kong double deckers (middle and top shelf). I also have
several models of the Unimog (the lorry-like vehicle on the top
shelf) because I drove the Unimog during my NS.
I also bought a couple of bus models while I was working in the
UK...
The 2 Mercedes Citaro models in the middle have a deep
significance for me because I took the actual buses when I live in
Slough (near Heathrow Airport and Windsor).
If your eyes are sharp enough, you'll realize that the
double-decker at the top is actually a SBST 2-axle Volvo Olympian.
Metroline (one of the bus operators in London) is owned by
ComfortDelgro, so some of the buses in Metroline were actually
"recycled" from SBST. Here are 2 more photos of the side and back
of the box. Unfortunately I didn't see the actual bus in
London...
I was pretty amazed when I found out that Metroline actually
belongs to ComfortDelgro... And I was even more amazed to find out
that Metroline "recycled" SBST's buses, which were made in the UK
in the first place. And the best thing is that a die-cast model of
this "recycled" VO was made while there's no die-cast model of the
VO with original SBST livery...
O My i see 1 of my love ones how can 1 buy that MAN lion's City
