Description
In 1948, the ‘Big Four’ independent railway companies were absorbed into the nationalised British Railways. Our little model single decker bus in its immediate post-war drab grey livery was deployed by British Railways with a Private destination blind, probably for the transport of staff or workmen. Registered DFE 891, the austere paintwork is relieved by a white stripe running along the sides with the serial number S298 W printed in front of the double doors and British Railways printed further along. The interior wood effect brown slatted seat configuration includes a raised section with four seats on each side at the rear of the bus. Note too that this model comes with the small headlight option.
