Creative Master Alexander ALX400 Dennis Trident Lothian Buses UK1037

The Creative Master Alexander ALX400 Dennis Trident Lothian Buses (TS04 SSG) is a diecast model bus in 1/76 scale. It is a superb model for any die cast model bus collector.
This brand new livery is on its well-known casting the Alexander ALX400-bodied Dennis Trident. This is UK1037 carrying Lothian Buses Harlequin livery. This model features Lothian Buses 504 (TS04 SSG).

Lothian Buses only Alexander-bodied low-floor deckers were 501-505 that were delivered in the summer of 1999. To add to their unique status within the fleet, they were also low-height. During the winter of 2006-2007, 501-503 were converted to fully Open-Top configuration for the City Sightseeing tour of Edinburgh. Concurrent with the re-entry into service of 501-503 in their new guise, 504 and 505 were repainted and, in the process, lost their mega-rear Direct Debit Ridacard adverts. These 2 buses were usually found on route 8 that runs from Muirhouse to the Royal Infirmary.

Towards the end of summer 2007, 505 was withdrawn for conversion to part Open-Top format thereby leaving 504 as the last ALX400-bodied Trident in normal service before it, too, was withdrawn for a similar conversion. The replica features excellent detailing, inside and out, including a tv monitor on upper saloon, opening engine door and engine detail at the rear. This is a one-piece casting whose clean lines accentuate the windows and livery application on which all logos and lettering are clearly legible. The model has no unnecessary metal poles to hold it together.
