Paramount Cowie
This is a Grey Green liveried Plaxton Paramount model, which I got given for free in 2017 when it remained unsold at the end of a model event. It was being offered as a Code 3 owing to the fact it had school bus sign decals applied front and rear, and some dots of paint on the rear lights.
My original plan was for it to become part of the RB fleet, but I couldn't think of a use for an old coach like this. What eventually happened to it was... absolutely nothing at all. A year or two later I picked up another Paramount on the cheap, thinking that if I had two then there would be some useful role for them at Robertson Buses. And just like that I had two Paramounts which I then did nothing with.
At the moment, both of them are still in the model bus equivalent of purgatory. At the moment I'm either going to attempt to convert both into a newer type of Plaxton (Panther or whichever one I'm thinking of), or rob them for their chassis to scratchbuild some other kind of bus on top.
