18303 - Leyland TS8 Small Destination	THE REAL BUSES This classic half cab single deck design was during the 1930's a sight commonly seen on the roads of Britain. The BET (British Electric Traction) owned many well known operators across the country, and these types of vehicles were particularly popular with companies based in the north, where they were often to be found on rural services feeding into larger towns. Leyland & AEC were two of the leading chassis suppliers during the 1930's, the TS8 & Regal were competing designs and were popular with both large & small operators a like. These vehicles were bodied by various body builders, and as such there was only a low level of standardization in the design, with each builder having their own distinctive features. THE EFE MODELS These models are currently the oldest single deck subjects in the range, both the Leyland Tiger TS8 versions were first released in 1994. A modified model with a new AEC Radiator and front mudguards was added to the range in 1996. Two versions of each model are possible with either a small or large front destination blind box, the AEC Regal has appeared in both versions, but these have both been issued in the same 205 series unlike the TS8 which uses two separate series. One interesting mistake by EFE involves Western Welsh models 18306 and 18306DL which both have large the blind boxes, and should therefore have been released in the 184xx series. The last UK issues of the models were released back in 1999 and only two Australian versions have been released in the decade since.
