NRTL001 - London Transport RTL Bus
1:148 Scale
For many years, London Transport used chassis from both AEC and Leyland. It was seen as what we would now call 'politically correct' for London to be using Leyland as well as AEC products, especially in the important export market. Therefore, when the post-war standard bus for London was proposed, a Leyland powered version was essential. If it could be made to fit the same bodies as the AEC vehicle, even better! And so the RTL was born. To the eye, they looked identical to the RTs except for modifications that included a Leyland radiator, slightly different front chassis and foot of the cab front.
Our No. 25 bus carries a Vernons Football Pools advertising panel on one side and Daily Express on the other. It is part of the N Gauge Oxford Commercials series.
