Translink

[buzzhornet]

Hi, 

I've been trying to get Translink model for wee lad. He found one but was listed for sale in 2018.

 

Anyone advise how I can go about getting one. I understand they are custom.

Keep an eye on Hatton's and on eBay. Translink buses appear every now and then.

Marks Models have both the Oxford Diecast Irizar Translink Goldline and the Irizar Ulsterbus in 1/76:

Forum members @WRENNEIRE and @MOGUL have buses available from time to time.

There are a few on eBay at the moment.

UK only? They don't show up for me at all due to eBay's crappy geo-blocking or whatever it is.

I only have the Translink and Ulsterbours tours Irizars at the moment(same as the Marks buses)..

But there is a nice EFE translink Wright bus(sold mine to DJ), and also an Optare solo(used for Causeway tours) available also, but hard to get as they are older models.. 

This thread by @WRENNEIRE is a good summary as it covers most of the Northern buses
