Hi @Tony, just wondering if there's any update on an ETA for the Xplore Emerald E400MMC, it must be due about now.

NX freebies arrived yesterday by airmail. Ones for sale will be a few weeks away on a boat

TTC Diecast has commissioned 4 extra Rapido Fleetlines which are exclusive to them.  They are 6537 in WMPTE livery (9 Quinton), and three in 1977 Queen's Silver Jubilee livery - 6431 (service 501), 6432 (service 9) and 6433 (service 14).  Details are on their website in the Rapido section.

Random question but when a new bus model comes out in the livery of an old operator, such as Birmingham City Transport or WMPTE, does the manufacturer pay royalties (or similar) to the modern day company, eg NXWM?

At NX we give the model manufacturer the authority to produce them and normally get a small number of free models, but no royalties are oaid

Thanks for answering my question.

Is there any particular reason why there are no EFE models (eg on the Fleetline)  with WMPTE, WMT or TWM livery. It always stood out to me how they made models for their predecessors like BCT but never the later liveries.

Not selling my couple of rare newer ones, That Travel Coventry is the newest.

My Scania Omnicity is the rarest as only 10 ever produced and that one isn't going anywhere.

Hopefully some 6937 models coming soon though
