Northcord Model Company is proud to make the official announcement to relaunch two castings that had been developed by CMNL before being continued by Northcord Model Company. These castings are being relaunched for both normal release and commissioned project.

first casting is the former ukbus 6000 series, the replica of Alexander Dennis Enviro400 available in two length, 10.1 metre two door Transport for London version, and 10.8 metre Provincial specifications with single door and dual door versions. The first ukbus 6001 model was launched in 2006 with Stagecoach London ‘Spirit of London’ livery. In the following years since then, all ukbus 6000 series models have gained excellent success and reputation worldwide, and especially in both Hong Kong and UK markets.

Northcord Model Company will put the new products into a new-series categorised ukbus 6200 et seq, as a continuation from the relaunch casting on ukbus 6000 model range before that.

The second relaunch casting is the former ukbus 9000 series, which features the Polish-built double-decker Scania OmniCity in both single-door and dual-door format within the 10.6 metre length. With the launch model of the new ukbus 9000 series being Selkent, part of East London Bus Group, in November 2009, more high-profile British bus fleets, such as Bluestar, Metrobus, Thames Travel, Reading Buses, Stagecoach London and London United RATP Group were added to the list of the ukbus 9000 model range since then.

In a similar way to the arrangement for ukbus 6000 / 6200, Northcord Model Company will put the new products into a new-series categorised ukbus 9500 et seq, as a continuation from the relaunch casting on ukbus 9000 model range before that. The collectors will therefore recognise these models as the follow-on version with both the ADL Enviro400 and Scania OmniCity double-decker bus family.

Relaunched production of both former CMNL / NMC castings will take place under the same arrangement as exists for the ukbus 6500 family of models.

Northcord Model Company will make an announcement in detail about planned liveries and model dimensions nearer to its reissue and launch date
