Model Buses Creations and Northcord Models announce 2 new releases for Q4 2022 / Q1 2023.

The Spirit for Christmas.

Following the success and wonderful reception our first Northcord release, The Enviro 400 MMC Stagecoach Macmillan Cancer Support Model, we are thrilled to announce the second release in our Stagecoach London fundraising campaign.

UKBUS 0067 - The Spirit of London Enviro 400 MMC Stagecoach London

The Spirit of London Bus is currently in operation with Stagecoach London, the bus is a reminder of the tragic terror attack in London at Tavistock Square where 52 died and many life's terribly altered forever.

The original Spirit of London was the first 1:76 Enviro 400 Diecast models to be released by Creative Master Northcord Limited, now Northcord model Company Limited. We are really pleased to be announcing this Enviro 400 MMC model which should sit perfectly next to the original model.

This limited edition model will help raise much needed funds for our continued campaign with Stagecoach & Macmillan Cancer Support, with profits helping raise much needed funds.

Let us Demonstrate our next release

Our next release UKBUS 0068 is the very special edition, the original Enviro 400 MMC Demonstrator as appeared and used for the launch of the ADL Enviro 400 MMC.

Built at the ADL Factories in the UK and shown at UK Bus & Coach events in 2014, before appearing in London for the public to experience this superb result with the latest technology and cutting edge design, The Enviro 400 MMC soon became the bus of choice for countless operators across the country with many examples released by Northcord offering a highly detailed example of this stunning bus.

The prices for these models does not include posting and packing, this will be at extra cost and shown on the website when pre-orders are being taken. If customers wish to purchase both models together we will be offering a special pre-order price of £115 for the pair. This is also plus posting and packing shown on the website.

We hope you enjoy our next releases and look out for next model release announcement featuring the classic Enviro 400.

We will announce the expected release date when the Pre-order service opens on Friday 14th October.

Manufacturing and Worldwide Shipping Issues continue to cause delays due to circumstances beyond our control. We will ensure our customers are kept informed and updated if any delays occur.
