I want to catch a bus

[fsn]

Anyone know a source of cheap post war commercial vehicles and buses? Kits perhaps?

All the railway model ones seem very expensive.

I know of these ones off the top of my head

Hello fsn

Have you looked at Oxford 1/148 diecast? http://www.oxforddiecast.co.uk/navigationOX/148/148IndexALL.html

The page even let's you search by decade.

Alternatively you could look on eBay, 9amfree has 6 buses for £4.61. I've dealt with them before and had no problems.

Anything by Tomytec or other Japanese producers listed as N Scale are 1/150 instead of the US 1/160 N Scale.

Cheers

We've got some N-scale cars and buses which will be hitting the website sometime soon, probably early April I'd think.  The buses look fine for 50's-80's, but the cars are a bit more modern styles.
