Old busses have always been a bit of a guilty pleasure of mine. Not in an anorak and notebook sort of way, but more the way they sound, smell etc... Just lovely. I was browsing the market in my local town and came across a model man on the market with a load of boxed Corgi Classics busses which had all come from one collector who was downsizing and having had a chat with the man and a look at the busses I decided I'd take them and give them a home biggrin

Here they all are:

Eric - That's really interesting! I love reading about buses and spend faaaar to long on Flickr.

I grew up near Hull and but was too young to ever see buses in the old corporation transport livery. I grew up with EYMS Leyland and Bristol shonkers. I can remember the Volvo Olympians coming in - and now they've all gone.

Anyhow, I've re-discovered eBay and decided that I'm going to stereotype myself up even more by building a half-credible collection of diecast busses. Latest acquisitions are a selection of Atlanteans, two of which are in KHCT livery biggrin I must learn not to bid on identical items at the same time...

Anyway, pictures!
