The Routemaster Series
This series of eight models was issued to launch the new and re-tooled Routemaster castings introduced during the Autumn of 2006. The original RM, RML, RCL and prototype RM's were all re-tooled and gained improvements including new flush glazing, wing mirrors and a rear platform bulkhead window.
New castings of the BEA Airport RMA, short Green Line RMC coach and the front entrance Routemaster (RMF1254/ Northern General) were also added to the EFE range to complete the Routemaster family of models.
The first releases of all the new and improved castings were issued in special themed boxes and consisted of 7 different types of London Transport Routemaster, the series being completed with an Arriva South London RML portrayed as it was in December 2005 during the final day of normal London Routemaster operation.
This series wasn't allocated it's own numbering scheme like the earlier World War II models, each model instead being issued in it's own new series (315-321).
The initial batch of 8 models were released between October & December 2006. A reworked version of the RMF model was produced for EFE Subscribers in May 2011 and issued in the original packaging.
The Routemasters
Towards the end of 2011 two models, a single deck RM bus & a stand double deck version, were issued in special "The Routemaster" boxes. The packaging had the same vehicle photographs on the rear as the earlier 2006 models but base colour of the boxes was fawn rather than orange.
For full details of all the other EFE Routemaster models see the Short Routemaster and Long Routemaster sections.
