Early EFE Models When EFE first started releasing models in 1989 they made the decision not to apply registration marks to the standard issue models. This situation continued until May 1992 when the first model with factory applied number plates, the Green Line RT bus (10117), was produced for members of the Official EFE Collectors Club. A small number of models began to appear with registration from 1993 in the Deluxe Series range, these were mainly reworked versions of earlier bus releases however. EFE also applied number plates to a small number of commissioned models. Corgi launched their new 1/76 Original Omnibus Company range in June 1994 and from the off all the models had registration numbers, in the Spring of 1995 EFE announced it would start adding registrations to all future model releases and the first such enhanced model, a B.O.A.C. Bedford SB Duple Vega (18705), was released in June 1995, since August 1995 all the models released have had registration plates as standard. Model List The list below has been compiled to where possible identify the correct registration for each of the 250 plus models issued without them. I've added notes explaining how the registrations listed were selected, in most cases these have been matched to the fleet numbers found on the models, but for models without numbers, I've listed a set of marks known to have been allocated by the operator to vehicles matching the model type & livery. Thanks are extended to John Kemplen for additional vehicle possibilities & several corrections. Finally if you believe there are any error or omissions in the list, please let me know. |
