Seven Kings garage gained a sort of notoriety due to its one hundred per cent RT fleet, but this came to an end on 15th October 1977 when route 150 was converted to DMS operation. RT 4126 (AP) stands in Argyle Road, Ilford four months before the conversion. Monday 13th June 1977. 3V-4.
This was one of two RTs owned by Capital Radio. If you look closely at the platform, you can see what the elephant did to it!

Ah yes. The Rise & Toys RT-01 Robot Rose, the figure that begs to answer the question "How much better would my life be if MP Arcee had a proper chest?".
Well, turns out there's some ups and downs, and no, I'm not talking about the jiggling.
Because sadly these are not silicone boobs.
So to start off, if you're not sure, YES, this is a knock off of the MP Arcee release from a few years back. To save myself a bunch of writing, it's suffice to say it's not as good as the official release, but it can do probably 80 - 90% of what it is supposed to do.
Highlights of the stuff that is a total miss is paint, the inability to hold weapons, and my favourite, an instruction manual that literally leaves you half way there.
But the parts are all there, including the die cast content, and the plastic quality doesn't seem to be off by much, if any. It's more the colour amongst the pinks can be inconsistent. Articulation is exactly the same until you decide to get crazy. Visor gimmick still works.
Before the main event, I just want to quickly point out the other major difference between this and the official MP - the face plates. I can't remember who made these, but they're closer to the animation model. There's another extra face that comes with their Nightbird release that is even more accurate.
The main event - the chest plates, which is probably the reason you bought this release. The original toy suffered from what would best be described as a sagging bust line, with Nightbird faring slightly better due to the long chin piece.
Well, this figure gives you the option of swapping out the original piece for one of two plates - one that gives the figure that classic look, but is definitely more flattering, and another that gives her the look of a pin up model.
Might as well go big, right?
The issue is that by attaching these chest plates, you lose use of her shoulder hinges, and basically won't be able to bring the arms across the chest... which if you think about it, makes sense given the size of the things.
The only Country route to lose RTs during 1973 was the 406 which was affected by the drafting in of RMCs, to Reigate and Leatherhead consequent upon the introduction of the final ANs of the 1972 batch at Grays. This occurred on 24th February 1973, but RTs did not leave the 406 completely, the Leatherhead allocation in particular continuing to feature these vehicles for three more years. Reigate RT 4496 (RG) is seen at Tadworth station on Monday 25th June 1973. F-4.
