Alexander Y Type Bus Body. As per my submission to MBS for this weeks challenge - favourite Alexander (now Alexander Dennis) body type.
Offside View - 1/76 scale (OO Gauge), Leyland Leopard - Alexander bodied Y Type bus. First Kelvin (formerly KCB Network, laterally First Glasgow).
This code 3 model represents the last livery worn by the surviving Y types which lasted until the takeover of KCB Network by First Bus. Wearing an all over red, with First Kelvin fleetnames, sadly the bus this model represents was not long for the service bus world in Scotland, and was shipped to Cuba.
While personally I quite like this livery, I agree it is nowhere near as nice/smart/professional as the red and cream of KCB, or as interesting as the yellow and blues of Kelvin Scottish.
This code 3 model, having been dismantled for interior upgrade and outer shell stripping/repainting, also benefits from the (painstaking) application of the tiny “No Smoking” stickers in every window.
