THE REAL COACH
The Bedford SB Chassis and Duple Vega Coach body proved another winner for the manufactures when introduced in the mid 1950's, This coach with around 40 seats was in many ways a replacement for the earlier OB Coach. The higher capacity vehicles were welcomed by many operators during the late 1950's.

THE EFE MODEL
The model entered the range in 1995, clever use of tampo printing allows several different styles of side paneling to be represented. Tampo printing is also used on some releases to represent front or side cove roof windows.

After an initial flood of 11 releases in 1995 and early 1996, only a few new variants have appeared since.
