| If anyone is a 1/76th scale bus & sv collector, then this link may be of interest. http://www.modelenium.co.uk/models/London-Transport-Set-NEW--LT1004.aspx That is the full page address, which can be accessed through the Modelenium site. Alternatively a Google search on the set number LT1004 should find other options. |

| The Base Toys Trader is spoilt by the cab doors being too short. The choice of 1135F is unfortunate as the unique style of fleet name precludes the use of the cab on other vehicles. It also needs a tilt to complete whereas there were other grey/green combinations that were simple open lorries with standard lettering that would have been a better subject. However, it is correct that there was a knowledgable guiding force behind the production of this model, and also the BRS liveries that have come out at the same time. It turned out to be someone I've known for a number of years, so I've put him right on his minor error! As a result he's asked me for suggestions for other LT models from the existing castings, a task I happily throw open to this forum. Note: Reply edited by Clive G, 02/09/07, 13:02. |

| Corgi vans | Sun 02/09/07, 12:39 |

| The small cars and vans from Corgi are a little large, being 1/72 scale. The LD01 van is correct 1/76 but the green is not the correct shade, and its a shame they did not copy the colour they'd used (inappropriately instead of red) on their first Regent tower wagon some years ago. The other fault with the livery is the London Transport lettering which is too large. | |||
| Corgi 1:76 SV set is out and more Base Toys | Mon 30/07/07, 10:56 |

| The Corgi set is out and it has to be said it's very good. You get 1410F which is transit van (Tom will like that) in grey with markings on the door for LONDON TRANSPORT (in red) and DISTRIBUTION SERVICES MANAGER (in black) and black fleetnumber. It has the petrol front so I assume that 1410F was petrol engined - seems likely? Second is 1056AS, an Austin LD van in Chiswick green with gold underlined LT fleetname on the main bodyside, and a small white ''PUBLICITY'' behind the cab door. Fleetnumber is also in white. Next we have a rather nice little Bedford HA , 2015B with white fleetnumber and gold LONDON TRANSPORT on the door undeneath which is a white DISTRBUTION SERVICES MANAGER. Finally we come to the rogue which is a red Anglia van. This has no fleetnumber and a white bullseye with LONON TRANSPORT across the bar which is on the main bodyside. Under the bullseye is a white ''55 BROADWAY,WESTINSTER S.W.1'' and the door carries ''LT JOBSTERS ABBEY 1234''. This seems to be a replica of the daft larger version in the Vanguards range. Why didn't they just do an authentic version of the Anglia? The set was bought for £14.95 at the Worthing rally yesterday although we later saw it for £12.50 on another stand ..Doh! Also seen were some more from Base Toys which includes a Leyland Cruiser artic in red which is just begging for a slap of grey paint to make a nice 2389L. Lots of potential in this expanding range and the early ones can be had for bargain prices. Note also that you can separate body and chassis as they hold them together with little screws and this makes modifications nice and easy. Note: Reply edited by Damon Cross, 30/07/07, 19:46. |

| Corgi does SVs? | Sat 18/11/06, 19:07 |

| They are also apparently doing (Q)1035CD. There has been a bit of talk about the accuracy of these vans, especially the red Anglia. Maybe by the time they are released they will have corrected the obvious errors. The price is not too bad for four (admittedly very small) models. | |||
