Repaints

Post by bmmoboy » 21:17 Sunday 20th March 2022

I have it on very good authority that repaints are to recommence shortly. Surprisingly enough, the first recipients of a new coat of paint, are expected to be 32644-6, this comes as a surprise as they are 18 years old. I don't know what livery they will be outshopped in, but hopefully, we might get another "heritage" bus shortly (hopefully 36241 or 36242).

One of the Streetlites is to be painted in Queens Platinum Jubilee livery shortly. I've seen the proposed livery, and it is rather uninspiring, basically being normal new livery, with a couple of extra lines in Purple. Don't know which vehicle it is going to be, but they had better geta move on, as it is only two months till the event!

Thanks for the info bmmoboy! I am surprised they have suddenly decided to paint them now after waiting so long! :shock:
I wonder if 43876 & the StreetLite's will receive similar treatment, along with the multi-coloured Citaro's at long last! :D
