JIM Poots KD

[Flying Scotsman 4472]

I bought this model of a KD from Jim Poots at last years SDMRC show in Blackrock. I been just doing a little bit of work to it in between other jobs and I finally got her finished. I did her as one of the buses I used to drive out of Ringsend on the number 15 route. Enjoy

That looks fab! I like the adverts on it... especially the old 98fm one on the back. Just need another one with a Rock 104 ad now!

[BosKonay]

God they evoke memories

 

Where did you get the ads?!

I would love to do one of the Dublin Buses that had an all over wrap I can't remember of the top

of my head it was an RH and it had the all over wrap of either 98fm or fm104.

 

It was mainly black with a huge red guitar on the side. That was my favourite.

I got them at Jim Poots stand at the Bus show last Saturday Stephen

[BosKonay]

Just brilliant!

[Retro Herbie]

Looks top notch Anthony

A very good job on that KD and it looks at home with the Olympian. The ads look like the latest releases from Sunrise transfers.

Thanks Guys she's a nice little addition to may layout maybe Jim will do another run sometime:tumbsup:

[joegriffin1984]

One of the best KD models I have seen so far. I would love if some one released a KC model..

 

Is this the aoa your on about?

 

[Flying Scotsman 4472]

Yes that's the very one do any of you guy's have good detailed shots of every side of this bus. As I want to do a model of her I have to say that was my favourite advertising wrap of all time carried on a Dublin bus

God all mighty Anthony are you proposing to paint one in the 98fm livery.Mind you it would look the dogs with your other buses in that livery bud.

2 Brit buses for conversion on their way to me as we speak

[joegriffin1984]

Anthony as far as I know that 98fm RH was not an AOA. The ad was only on the offside and rear. The front and nearside of the bus still had the two tone Dubin Bus livery.

Is it my eyes or has the 2 fell off the front number plate?

Two different buses. Up to six buses carried this advertisment.

I'm pretty sure you're correct, it's how I remember them anyway. It used to bother me as a youngster that it wasn't a full AOA, but then I was quite a sad child!

Thanks for that Joe I remember we had one in Ringsend in the 98fm AOA but I can't remember the number would you know

Ah, right. Bit of a co-incidence.

[joegriffin1984]

Anthony, RH98 was Ringsends 98fm bus .

[Flying Scotsman 4472]

Thanks for that Joe I will do some research on line to see if I can get her registration number. So its only the drivers side and the rear has the advert. I assume the passenger side carried the standard Dublin Bus livery to match the front

[joegriffin1984]

Anthony, RH98 is 91D-1098. Last time I saw her was in open top format in Galway I think. Yes only offside and rear carried the advertisment. Front and nearside still had two tone green livery.

Once again many thanks Joe for the information. You are way better than Google when it comes to Dublin Bus.

[joegriffin1984]

No probs Anto. . Ive always wanted to try the Nitelink livered RA that was around at some point.

[Tarabuses]

I alwatys thought this was the best 98FM allover add:

 

[joegriffin1984]

Did this actually operate in service like that. I dont think it did. Some competition 98fms big blue box or something like that.

....and don't forget about the wedding bus....
