It emerged as the most popular double decker bus of all time. As one man operated buses came more into use , some of the Routemasters were sold off to a variety of fleets throughout the U.K. Some vehicles were even exported for use in other countries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShown here at a scale of 1:120.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis history of Oxford Diecast and production in Swansea means the lineage of this model is quite interesting. Many rememember the Corgi (Mettoy) Routemaster that was manufactured in huge numbers. Back in the 1970's when ever we were short of production orders, we just inserted 250,000 buses into the programme. I recall many punch ups with the sales force, who would object strongly as they had the reponsibility of selling whatever was made. Needles to say when they were sold out and the warehouse was empty of Routemasters, they would quickly criticise the factory !\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Mettoy (Corgi) Routemaster was copied by many of the Hong Kong and Chinese manufacturers over the years. My favourite recollection was seeing a terrible copy by an Indian manufacturer. They had bought a sample, but the roof was not straight, there was a 'hump' on the top at the rear; on an internal cavity of the mould there was an insert that came lose from time to time - some production had slipped through with the 'hump' (probably night shhift) and that is what the Indian company had purchased for their sample.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn London there was a company called Seener, named after the owner, we tooled up a version for him. He wanted a smaller model around 15\/20% smaller to save costs, so we chose 1:76 scale - a lucky scale for Oxford. These carried the brand name SEEROL, named after the owners son \u003cstrong\u003eROL\u003c\/strong\u003eand \u003cstrong\u003eSEE\u003c\/strong\u003ener. We made around 500,000 of these during the 1980's. The tooling eventually fell to pieces and the newly produced Oxford 1:76 variant appeared - it had for once wheel hubs that looked correct.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e120 scale deicast bus, comes on a plinth (model can be removed from plinth with a clear lid and an Oxford TT scale wrap.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDimensions and Weights\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePacked: 8.6cm x 5.3cm x 4.6cm ( L x W x H )\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnpacked: 6.9cm x 2cm x 3.7cm ( L x W x H )\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eExcludes shipping carton\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eScale\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1:120 scale means that this is 120 times smaller than the full sized vehicle(s)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor a much more detailed explanation of scale and the history please follow \u003ca title=\"All about scale\" href=\"https:\/\/www.oxforddiecast.co.uk\/blogs\/news-1\/a-question-of-scale\"\u003ethis link\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.oxforddiecast.co.uk\/collections\/tt-1-120\" title=\"More TT Scale Oxford Diecast\"\u003eOther TT 120 Scale\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e","brand":"OXFORD DIECAST","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43582924193947,"sku":"120RM001","price":10.25,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0488\/9369\/0011\/files\/120RM001_d84339a1-f34d-441a-8ccc-6d6602bcd3a4.jpg?v=1742458387"},{"product_id":"routemaster-shillibeer-120rm002","title":"Oxford Diecast Routemaster Shillibeer 1:120","description":"\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe new 120 scale Routemaster  takes on another famous livery which goes back much further\u003cspan style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\"\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eto George Shillibeer, born in 1797, whose first horse-drawn\u003cspan style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\"\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eLondon Omnibus took to the streets between London Paddington and the Bank of England in 1829.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eOur model is dated a bit later than that – the result of collaboration between London Transport, AEC and Park Royal Vehicles.
