| Confirmed Commissioned Release |
| I've received a report that the Kentish Bus Leyland Olympian produced for Ian Allan has now been released, models are currently being posted out to those who received the direct mailing last month, an order form for this model is expected to appear in the next issue of Buses magazine. I've also had reports of payments being taken by the London Transport Museum for the pair of Arriva Heritage Routemasters and the STL produced for the Bow Depot Open Day back in July, it appears the STL model is in very short supply and that some orders have been declined due demand out stripping supply.  29304 Leyland Olympian - Kentish Bus (commissioned by Ian Allan Publishing) |
