My collection includes models produced by a handful of diecast model producers and independent modellers which include manfacturers such as EFE – Exclusive First Editions, Creative Master Northcord, Corgi, Oxford Diecast, Atlas Editions, Forward Models and B-T Models.
My earliest memories of collecting diecast model buses is visiting Harburn Hobbies based on Leith Walk and Wonderland Models located on Lothian Road in Edinburgh which both offer a fantastic choice of models to purchase and own making them a must for any model collector.
There are an unlimited number of model suppliers found throughout the UK where most have websites where you can browse and purchase the models of your choice. Growing up in Edinburgh I definitely picked up the fascination for buses where one can be seen practically on every corner where I’ve always enjoyed the noise they make as well as the ride experience with different engine noises heard while travelling, almost feels part of the experience of living in Edinburgh.
I feel lucky to have grown up in an interesting time where the last remaining Atlantean vehicles were running where I often travelled on them via the 4 and 5 route followed by the Leyland Olympian vehicles types throughout the 1990’s up until the more modern fleet of Dennis Trident and even more recently Wright Eclipse Gemini buses. I also have a good memory of the short lived bus wars which took place in the 90’s between Eastern Scottish SMT buses and Lothian Regional Transport buses where I genuinly remember drivers trying to leap frog their rival company buses – hardly something you could believe would happen today.
