INTRODUCTION

Little Bus Company produced its first kit in 1993. The objective was to produce a model bus kit, in the best possible quality resin, with a minimum number of parts, which was easy to assemble.

The word 'assemble' is used instead of 'build' because, in terms of the body, the kit is already built when purchased.

To achieve this, the body had to be in one piece, as did the seating unit and chassis base, giving a maximum of 3 main parts (4 in the case of double deckers). The only remaining parts include the wheels, with axles, the steering wheel and glazing.

Apart from the single seating unit mentioned above, the kits include specially designed, push-fit, composite-rubber wheels and 'mix-and-match' systems to achieve a personalised model, with correctly-profiled destination screens, number plates and fleet names and numbers. These are also suitable for many die-cast models available on the market.

Karl Kingston joined Tony Asquith as a full partner in the business during 2015. This has lead to a few changes, the most notable being a change to the name and address (see contact panel to above)

Karl has taken over the `shop window` which means he will deal with all pre-orders, issue of new kits and any others still in stock.

All other enquiries regarding older kits will remain with Tony Asquith, however both will be able to help with any other requirements you may have.


CURRENT KIT AVAILABILITY
 Please note kits are produced in quantities based on pre-orders received plus a small surplus and thus often sell out quickly after release.

Please email Karl for the latest availability updates & kit prices.
