Little bit of History!
This Dinky double-decker bus was a mainstay of the Dinky range from 1938 right through to the 1960s. During that time it went through a lot of changes yet same basic casting. The main difference to the casting is the radiator grille. There are three types, two AECs & a Leyland. This one ran from 1938 to 1947 it was based on the London bus of the time, the AEC STL. The Type 2 was also an AEC (RT) with a central divider, this time with a smaller triangular badge & wings cut straight across at the front, this casting was used 1949-53 and 1957-59. Type 3 is a Leyland Titan grille which has no divider and no badge but again has the straight across wings. This one was used 1948-49 and 1954-1963.
Wheels started as black smooth painted hubs, moved on to ridged painted hubs picking up the colour of the lower bodywork and the last releases had either spun hubs or plastic hubs. The colours are mostly cream upper decks over red or green lower deck - but there are variations and some of them have advertising - where there is any it is generally for Dunlop Tyres.
There are about 40 variations in Ramsay listing, yet there are many more than 40, especially when promotional models, code 2s are taken into account.
