Just wondered how many people on here collected diecast bus models corgi,britbus or creative master northcord etc. Also maybe the specific ones people have or how many they actually have.

I collect mainly northcord ones, will do a tally up one day this week and get back to you on which ones I have! I know I've got "0000" of Ukbus 6018, and "0002" of Ukbus 1007 though.

I haven't bought any for the past 12 years, but I still have the following:

65 x Corgi Metobuses (may have a full or near full set)
14 x Corgi Leyland Lynx
10 x Corgi Hong Kong commemorative liveries (Tri-axle Leyland/Volvo Olympians), Van Hool Alizee, Dennis Dart etc
24 x EFE Leyland National I/II
Plus a handful of Corgi Plaxton Premiere/ Van Hool Alizee in various NX operating company colours & the TMH Plaxton Vario

I've got 135 at present. Midland Red, WMPTE, TWM, Travel Dundee and Travel London. Also a selection of modern London buses, EFE Routemasters, Dublin bus, and am starting to get a selection of First, Arriva and Stagecoach models from all over the country.

On another note, Corgi have announced the model of 'V382 SVV' when branded for the 37 with Central Connect. Out in July, with dual destination.

Very impressive collection must have cost a lot to get some of those buses as some have only around 300 produced. Where do you normally buy them ebay or model shops.

I started about 6 years ago and didnt really buy any the last couple of years until recently, yeah pretty much all of those are off ebay and also check out britishmodelbuses.com as they are normally first to post details of new commisioned ones and how to order them as they sell for silly prices on ebay after lol

This one I have is the rarest though

Now that CMNL/NML are back making models I keep hoping that 4780's model will be put into production, but it don't look like it.  :(
