Click HERE to read the BUSKITS June 2008 Newsletter

NEW ALKIT is a new concept in bus modelling, building standardised die-cast, resin or white metal components into a scratchbuilt shell made from reinforced duplex aluminium sheet to produce the model bus that YOU want.

ALKITs are not cheap. Current prices are £40 each for a single decker and £45 each for a double decker - in all cases plus £2 UK postage. For this you get the model including steering wheel and glazing appropriate to the model you asked for. The glazing is packed separately for those customers who prefer to spray paint their models.

Pictured on the left is a Massey bodied Foden double-decker with eventually entered the PMT fleet as their H812 (XRE 590). Alan has built this model from scratch using sheet-metal and resin/plastic interior components and chassis. Alan is always happy to consider scratch-building, or conversion work, to enable collectors to have the model they particularly want. Enquires should be addressed to Alan at 3 Hallwood Avenue, Salford, M6 8WW - please enclose a stamped, self-addressed envelope for a reply.

Alan Johnson can now supply custom built models using EFE components to represent any of the Park Royal or Roe Atlanteans and Fleetlines based on the Park Royal 'Sheffield' style 1964 body design (see above right). Other examples so far built include Fleetlines for Birmingham and West Riding, and Atlanteans for King Alfred, Sheffield, Ashton, Leicester and dual door buses for Salford. Prices range from £60 to £80 depending on the work involved. Please contact BUSKITS with your enquiries.
