Feels like we must be getting close to another bus announcement...

Please, pretty please, make it a mainstream livery...

Two-tone green, CitySwift again, blue and cream or blue and yellow!

I saw this today and for some reason the name Fran popped into my head.. Been a while since we have had an unusual subject turned into an IRM bus, although I think Creative Master rather than Britbus have the tooling for this one

We could do with a mainstream CMNL commission or two, or three, first. Those €80 and €90 eBay ones are a killer. Hatton's, God rest their souls, have a smashed up CMNL missing windscreen etc for £80 GBP!

It’s missing the engine cover as well, and I doubt spare parts would be available now

Basically, a piece of scrap for €100!

With three of the current four IRM buses about to sell out, it feels like it MUST be time for another bus announcement!

So, who's taking bets on the liveries?

Where's that @warb fellow with his shots of obscure liveries?

still pleanty of buses that could be done with the olympian casting including some private operators in ireland . lots of aoas as well but some of these would have licencing issues like coke pepsi manhattan smarties etc . there are a couple of cie ones not done yet such as nitelink and travel 10 . there is also the test dublin bus liveries and the raillink guinness buses. an interesting seller might be a super city swift with a transfer set for doing one of the routes so you could have all the flyers on a sheet which would increase sales 25a 27 41 46a as well as the plain option.  the big seller possibly involves a change to the casting to do the open top variant

also will it sell or not would be the metrorider been done in nipper format or on its other routes 210 220 230.

Or more in the various 'core' liveries will always be welcome!!
