Model bus review, Corgi OOC Weymann motor bus. London Transport STL and Grimsby!! #bus #modelbus
Another review of one of the older models available on the secondhand market. This time we look at the Corgi OOC 1/76 Weymann motor bus, in this case on AEC Regent chassis in the liveries of London Transport's country area and Grimsby Cleethorpes Transport.
We also take a look at the history of the real vehicle upon which these models are based.

Thursday afternoon in Bethlehem Street, South St Marys Gate and Osborne Street in Grimsby town centre. A nice variety of buses and liveries. As always some very friendly drivers waving, smiling and giving thumbs up but the session is slightly marred by one driver having a go at me... and he wasn't even visible until he leaned out!!

It's around 20 years since I last photographed buses in Scunthorpe, so this quick visit was long overdue. A Tuesday lunchtime sees plenty of friendly drivers; lots of waves, smiles and thumbs up, and a nice variety of operators. Highlights include a Hornsby Scania Omnicity, an East Yorkshire B9Tl and a Stagecoach Enviro 400 sporting a new white destination blind. Alfie the Border Collie keeps m...

From Monday 22nd July 2024 Grimsby local services 3 and 4 increased in frequency to every 10 minutes and a new route 11 was introduced. To operate these duties the remaining four Volvo B7RLES with Stagecoach East Midlands not already at Grimsby were transferred in along with two Enviro 300s. We see operations on the first morning featuring two of the Volvo's and the pair of e300s. As well as th...

Ahead of service uplifts the following Monday, 2 Enviro 300s had arrived at Grimsby. I spent part of Saturday afternoon tracking them down. I thought there was a third, but this proved not to be the case. We start at Riverhead Exchange in the town centre filming the general bus scene as well as the Enviros, before moving to the bus garage where we see Volvo 21221 newly arrived from Lincoln. We ...

A hot Saturday morning in Grimsby and we start on Weelsby Road with a couple of Acklams coaches and a Stagecoach Enviro 200MMC.

We finish off in Grimsby town centre with Stagecoach where I cut the session short as it was getting too warm for Alfie, my border collie. #b...

Wednesday afternoon and I was waiting in Grimsby town centre for 27191, just in from Worksop. Unfortunately it went out of service to the depot, so we track it down to there and see the other buses present, including Lincoln's 21228 (not 21224 as stated in the commentary, my Google search for the registration number reverted to 224's reg for some reason) in the workshop. We then film on the way...

Im a driver in Grimsby, dont worry i will still wave 👋

I worked there very briefly in the mid 80`s,i seem to remember one or two of the houses to the left of the garage being owned by Peter Sheffield for parts storage

I love to see the enviro 300 back, and it’s also nice about the eclipse 2, I’ve been on holiday but I’ll try find them tomorrow 😄 not to mention route 11 and 12 changing
@@Georges_carz yes it's great to see the e300s back in Grimsby. It's well worth a visit at the moment, the increased frequencies mean there's a lot more to see.

@Pacerchacer There is a new timetable and a new route coming to Grimsby if that warrants an update

Already got a couple of 27s, and apparently one of those purple ex-cambridge eclipses. More to follow. @@pacerchaser9434
to confirm this was because both of Grimsby's Plaxton Pointer 2s (34848) and (35130) were both withdrawn with no replacement due to mechanical failures

Riverhead exchange overall has been a good improvement accessible wise, with blind people able to find their bus stops, thanks to the React Access Trigger app and keyfob system making the new countdown screens talk when a user connects to the display
I've worked at a few fish processing plants on the docks and can confi'rm that the managers certainly don't want the employees having fun! Thanks for sharing the story Pacer - it's not the first time I've heard of this show and it's amazing to think it's still shown every year to this day.
Was there a coach company called Orange that ran from Newcastle/Durham area to London ( I keep thinking it was a Gillett bros company but I dont think it is correct) did it end up with United (not Northern General) ?
@@highpath4776 yes, Orange Bros. of Bedlington. Started running Newcastle to Bedlington in 1923. Added a Newcastle to London service around 1927 and later also worked to Edinburgh and Glasgow. Sold out to United in 1934.

You beat me to it I was going say to you it's been sold . There was talk of house's on the car park there
@@grimsbyany1 I'd heard that, houses on the whole site
@pacerchaser9434 there going to have to sort the Multi story car park out or be no parking if houses go there
@@grimsbyany1 it's only supposed to be closed for a short time, but like everything else it seems to be dragging on a bit. The car park the other side of the railway is earmarked for the new bus station as well, so that will reduce it even further.
@pacerchaser9434 I hear the Multi- car park is falling to bits . And not safe . The cement is cracking on bottom floor
@@grimsbyany1 could be closed a long time then.
Hi Pacer. Weren't the buildings to be demolished for the proposed bus station an old Iceland supermarket? I can't believe how many closed/boarded up shops there are now in the town centre. Not sure the new site is very well placed for bus users: they should have revamped the Riverhead bus station which was, as you say, very handy when you'd finished your shopping in Freshney Place.
It was a kwiksave then summer field and pound shop 😂
Hi, the Iceland supermarket is further along the street and is still open, it wasn't included in the council's purchases as far as I know. I agree with you that the Riverhead would be a better place for the bus station, but the council have flatly refused to build one there. Hopefully the new location will bring footfall and trade to the area around Osborne Street.
@@TheLewmen Sommerfield - that's right, I remember now - thanks! What was the name of the pub just down from there - on Google Maps it looks like Sage Restaurant now but it was a great little pub (I'm talking 20 years back)
Used to catch United Automobile's wonderful Bristol RELH's from York to London as a kid - just the best coach ever! (In my opinion!)
Strange the LT version doesn't carry any roundels
It was repainted to represent a Metroline bus that was just running in plain red with no fleet names.
Salut my friend super car ..super video subscribe subscribe
Thank you 😊
LT's all over red doesn't do these models justice. Rapido were launching their own range which would have been good but that project's been shelved, due I think to the cost in today's climate.
I didn't realise the Rapido one had been shelved, but I understand why. The costs have to be passed on to the purchaser, and in a climate where the latest EFE Nationals are £35 I can only imagine how much Rapido would need to charge for a super detailed version
I remember the first hst to go past not sure what year
A quick look on the web suggests 1983, but I don't know for definite
@pacerchaser9434 yep I would say early 1980s
Thanks for this! My old man was a driver for Granville tours, also known as sunrise travel later.
No problem, it's nice to hear from someone who remembers them.
That bus was one of RoadCar's Open Toppers in Skegness when these Leyland buses were introduced in 2000 to replace all the other different Leyland Open Toppers!😱 They only lasted 4 seasons though because they were replaced by MCW Metrobuses in 2004....
All the best, no need for an apology take your time and get right.
Thank you, I just thought I'd better explain in case people are getting sick of model reviews!!
Hope you get better soon! Love your content and its very nice to watch. Have a good day!
Thank you 😊
Best wishes and good health - I can't get out as much as I'd like either these days so I know how you feel.
Thank you, yes it's frustrating!!
Best wishes for a quick recovery, I am a fan of your local content! Take good care. Josh.
Thank you 😊
Very informative about the history of bus production both in real life and dinky
Thank you 😊
*Reference to "Irwell Line" livery should of course have been "Valley Line ", apologies. I didn't realise the error until I had the video loaded up.
A light application of acetone/nail varnish remover, using cotton wool, is good at removing old decals from these models, and nowhere near as messy as paint stripper. Keep away from glazing though
Glad she’s still here does it do public service?
No, not any more unfortunately
Got to love the olympians, very good shot of it!
My local independant, Venture Transport, bought 44 of these between 1963 & 1970, 38 Y's & 6 AY's. They were good looking buses for a early 1960s design, except those built without destination boxes, they looked kind of strange
Definitely, it never looked right without the destination box
defo withdrawn ;-;
I remember the `bus wars`lol. Nearly was run over crossing Prospect Street a couple of times as it was like a bus race track in both directions. Crazy times :) Great videos btw.
Thank you, I'm glad you liked them. Yes it was a crazy time, it wasn't even good for passengers as it could take 20 minutes just to get out of the bus station!!
The section about East Midland is interesting, since it was our local bus company. I'd always assumed that Mr Underwood was just 'some bloke' who started up a bus service or two. The Clowne depot is still there and, I assume, the buildings on New Street, Chesterfield are the original 1930s buildings, albeit used for other purposes now.
That's interesting to know, I haven't been to that area for years.
6:19 If you look closely, you can see the MS&LR logo on that signal man's house
Really enjoying this series - thanks
