12M Omnidekka Conversion

Photo shows this conversion at the 'virtually completed' stage - the finished pics were for some reason not good enough to use.

 

The conversion involved two Britbus Omnidekkas cut and joined to create the long 12M version as used by Brighton & Hove.

 

Open top conversion needed the front upper side windows to be formed, which was done from 1mm brass sheet, brass panelling fitted along each upper side and a re-shaped rear end.

 

Lower deck was then a doddle with a new set of extended windows made from 1mm clear Plasticard.

 

The conversion was once again guided by one of Terry Blois' excellent drawings.
