Congratulations, very well done. Please do continue, they are lovely. A personal request would be for RML3 and CRL4, both with Leyland chassis, and unique with Weymann body (3) and Eastern Coachworks (4).

I wonder if you, and others who may be interested, are aware that RM8, the first production RM (but not numerically) only finally entered passenger service in 1976, getting on for twenty years after it was built! This may be some sort of record.

Really nice! If you do the RMC/RCL and RMA/RMF classes, perhaps you could attempt a "fictitious" RMD variant with two doored entrances (one front, one rear) and two staircases? A kind of might-have-been bus. I've long wondered what that would look like.

Thanks for information about RM8.

You can certainly see where Clydeside stole the livery style:) from.

Indeed, but I think that the Clydeside livery looks better overall; mainly due to the red stripe above the bottom deck. That's just me being biased, though lol :P

MUE-Train - Nice work again, particularly on RM116. :)

I'm not biased and I agree with you: not that I ever saw a Clydesider in service.:)

Nor I. Although, I have caught fleeting glimpses of RMs preserved and restored in Clydeside Scottish colors and lemme just say, they look the absolute business. Not that they were ever that shiny and clean when in daily service, but I digress lol

Probably one of those liveries that looks marvellous when newly applied, or kept in rally condition, but after a few months on the road at a garage without an assiduous buswasher, less so. The Shoplinker livery of course never saw an extended period of service, for the simple reason that the buses ran around empty!

There are 1 new Routemaster drawing this week.

This is the 2nd livery of RM66 after it converted to a tow truck.

It sold to BTS Coaches around 199_.
