Drive it like you stole it!

Always a favorite, collecting variations of this one can be a full time job

Love those double deck buses from England! Years ago I always thought they were all red so was surprised when Matchbox released this one in green and cream colors. It was also neat that for a period of time they had this one and the No. 5 London Bus in the line up at the same time. Even now, concentrating on emergency vehicles in my collection, I find myself still bringing home one of the newer Routemaster Buses when I find them.

New casting? Quick! Take it apart!

I am slowly finding variations of MBX buses, and adding them to my collection. Of course I can't afford mint quality, but I grab what I can afford and maybe hope for a few trades later. |

The Quest Continues

Nice choice. I had the beige one, and never knew of the red or green ones until much, much later! |

As PJ said, love those double-decker buses! I don't have many of them, but I grab them when I find them at a reasonable price for the condition. The fading on the right-side sticker was this one's worst demerit. I don't remember just what I aid for it, but as I recall I got a bunch of change from a $10 bill for this one at last year's Diecast CARnival. This is my first Lesney double decker in a color other than red. |
