I got my last Platinum (6988) at West Brom yesterday. Technically I am a rail enthusiast (since 1979) but after seeing 2102 in Stourbridge back in January I thought it would be a fun project to go after NX buses this year. I am now down to 10. It would be nice to get into single figures by the year end. The buses I need are:

836
2136
2240
3035
3225
3997
4287
4488
5409
5412
Any help with them over the next couple of weeks would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks. Yeah I believe 5409 is stored inside Wolves garage and 4287 is being painted into training livery at Walsall? 2136 has collision damage and of course 3035,3225 & 3997 are tucked away heritage buses which basically leaves 836, 2240 & 5412 as gettable.

Not sure what is up with 5412 at the moment. But 4287 is more than being painted. It is getting a full refurb and conversion and won't be finished this year.

4488 could possibly put an appearance in service yet. It has a fresh MoT and a rebuilt engine which was the problem. It is currently at Graysons as a test for the Euro 6 conversion programme for Geminis.

2136, 3035; 3997 certainly won't be seen outside this year

5412 was on the 59 yesterday, so it is active.

Its tracker must have completely failed then. Will report that one

MARKG

Thanks for all the replies. I might go and see if 5412 is about in Wolverhampton.
