I like this bus, too. I've not seen this Dinky before, but am intrigued now. |

Gee...I wonder if there might be a theme of the week - not only buses but perhaps foreign buses. I do remember this one - had a bunch of Dinky Toys at one time (but not this one). As much as I like the London double deck buses I never picked this one up because of the size - one of those things about trying to stick to 1/64th/3 inch as much as possible. The few larger ones I have brought home over the years usually did not leave a smile on my wife's face.

I'm a bit of an Anglophile, so of course I like this bus. I tend to think of the typical "London Bus" as being red, but I know they could be other colors depending on who was advertising on them... like this one! |

As requested elsewhere, here is a size comparison between the Dinky and 1/64 and 1/43 models.![]() ![]() Not sure about this one - it would probably fit well with 1/72 models, and 1/87 might be a bit too small... |
