Hello
I'm new to forums so this post is the very first I have ever made. I hope my post accords with your rules and offends aginst none of them.
I am bringing together a fleet of 1:76 scale 1950's Leeds City Transport buses that will - eventually, I hope - find their way onto a model of the Scott Hall Road of the 1950's Leeds. I already have many of the vehicles that ran up and down this road, but I am missing one very particular bus, number 307.
My plans involve recreating the stretch of road from Sheepscar Mills at the foot of the hill to Potternewton Fields at the top. Where my model will differ is that it will also include the never-built double track tramway for which the central reservation was designed.
So if Western Thunder members can identify an Anbrico Kit 13 (AEC/Roe H58R) bus in any state: unbuilt kit, partially built kit or a completed vehice I would be very grateful. Because it is basis of the missing bus. It will become 307 (RNW307) Leyland PD2/14 Roe H58R in the 1955 livery with full intermediate destinations for Primley Park on route 70. I have attached a photograph of sister bus 302 at Primley Park about to return to the Bus Station.
I would be even more grateful - if such an owner could be found - if that owner then turned out to be a willing seller. I hope this post accords with your standards because I have now been searching for nearly two years.
To Western Thunder, my thanks for allowing me to join your site. To everyone who sees this post I wish you and all around you safety and wellbeing in these strangest of COVID times.
