Great news from Jim Poots model buses will be the release of the long awaited 1970's CIE M class buses,

Jim intends to release the kits at the MRSI model railway exhibition in Raheny on the October bank holiday weekend,

I'm looking forward to these particular buses as they have been a favourite of mine for a long time,

Well done to Jim for producing this bus which I'm sure will be of a high standard-just like the rest of his excellent kits.

Have to agree, but to misquote Fr. Ted, "aren't they ALL lovely buses...."

I don't remember the super models/originals shown, but are there any school bus rtr from the 70-80's?

Hi,

Does Jim have a website or Commercial Outlet ?

Thanx

[Retro Herbie]

Frank, Jim will have a website up towards the end of the summer with details of forthcoming kits and listings and photos of previous kits. I'll PM you his contact details shortly. As ttc says, the next planned release is October at the MRSI Exhibition in Dublin

[Tarabuses]

I thought the P class kit was being released in October?

[Retro Herbie]

Two kits are being released in Oct at Dublin. CIE "P" class half cab single deck and also a CIE/Bus Eireann "M" class single deck which was used on Expressway services.

[Tarabuses]

Yes, just saw photos of the masters of both models on Garaiste and they look excellent.

I'd love to have them too. They look great. I don't suppose there's any plans to produce more?

They look excellent and will look even better with CIE expressway red and orange livery applied and a supertrain liveried 071 in the background-well done Jim,can't wait.

Cheers Tarabuses. Is the paint included with the kit or is it supplied separately?

No, paint, glue, transfers or whatever you want is extra.
