The new 120 scale Routemaster  takes on another famous livery which goes back much further  to George Shillibeer, born in 1797, whose first horse-drawn  London Omnibus took to the streets between London Paddington and the Bank of England in 1829.

Our model is dated a bit later than that – the result of collaboration between London Transport, AEC and Park Royal Vehicles. A legendary trio! You have also seen this Shillibeeer decorated bus in different Oxford Diecast scales previously.  Registered CUV 191C from 1965, the distinctive deep green body with fresh mimosa yellow masking to roof and upper deck is enhanced with a fine red line between the two decks. The interior is moulded in a brown red with a paler brown platform and handrails finished in silver. The AEC badge sits proudly in the centre bonnet minutely printed in blue and silver.

Our bus is travelling as the No. 9 towards Mortlake Garage via Hammersmith, Kensington and Charing Cross, through the heart of the City.  Make sure you don’t miss it!
