L.B.R.T. specialize in transfers for London related models, but also produce a large range of bus advertisements many of which would be suitable for models from other areas.
The transfer range is vast and covers virtually everything you'd expect to appear on a real vehicle. You can even get registration plate sets for most of the early London EFE models lacking this feature.
L.B.R.T. have also produced a number of code 3 EFE models for such events as the Amersham Running Day and various Country Bus Rallies, full details and pictures of most of these can also be found on the site at www.lbrt.me.uk
