  Many thanks to those who came down to the Singapore Bus Model Show 2010 held last Saturday.

  This event also made several unofficial records in Singapore, namely the most 1:76 scale bus models gathered at a event, the most variety of bus models in one gathering (all continents except for the Americas, Africa and Antarctica) and of course the longest bus model show in Singapore (1630 to 2130 hrs, 5 hours).

  Participants: 17

  Models: 61 units 1:76, 1 unit 1:43. 59 units are unique (with exception of SBS/SBST VO and Citybus HK Scania K94UB).

  Asia: 30 units from Hong Kong (the most of a single location), 5 units from Singapore, 4 units from Japan.

  Europe: 20 units from United Kingdom.

  Australia: 2 units.

  FOR SALE:

  Creative Master Northcord model UKBUS3027
  Solent Blue Line "Red Rocket" Mini Pointer Dart on route A (Eastleigh).

  Background info:
  Hampshire bus operator Solent Blue Line brought a splash of colour to the local transport scene when they reinvented their local network around Eastleigh as 'Red Rockets' in autumn 2006. Wanting to bring an element of fun and excitement to local bus travel, Solent Blue Line commissioned well known agency Best Impressions to design this striking red colour scheme.

  The new livery was applied to ten 'Mini Pointer Dart' single deckers, but the rebranding did not stop there! Each bus was decorated internally with vinyls promoting travel by Red Rocket and also recalling famous rockets in history. As a finishing touch, humorous slogans on a space theme were applied to both sides of each bus - all of them different - provoking a positive reaction from both passengers and passers by.

  This vehicle, fleet number 577 (SN03 ECC), is one of around a hundred buses operated by Solent Blue Line on its extensive network of routes in Southern England.

  FOR SALE:

  Creative Master Northcord model UKBUS3029
  Southern Vectis Plaxton Mini Pointer Dart on route 29 (Newport).

  Background info:
  A reduction in vehicle requirements at Solent Blue Line coincided with an increased need for further low-floor vehicles at Southern Vectis and two of the batch of 12 Mini Pointer Darts delivered to Solent Blue Line in 2003 were transferred to the island in September 2006 and carry the single deck version of the latest Southern Vectis livery designed by Best Impressions.

  I wonder if any of you can recall there is a shop in sg that sell models and also sell 1:76 models... If I didn't remember wrongly it should be in Bugis... But the shop is gone now... When i was very young, i was bought a KMB Olympian there... It was 11 or 12 years ago and back then i was only 5 or 6 years old... Not knowing it was a limited edition model, i played as my toy and the parts dismantled and 'scrapped' by me... By now this bus should be recycled already... What a pity and a waste!
