Following the significant success in launching the brand new casting of the Alexander Dennis Enviro400 MMC model in the liveries of National Express West Midlands, Stagecoach in Oxfordshire, Bluestar, Stagecoach West Scotland, Southern Vectis, Stagecoach South, Ensign Bus, Xplore Dundee, Stagecoach North West, Go North East, Stagecoach North Scotland, Go South Coast, Reading Buses, Greater Manchester Bee Network and McGill’s Bluebird, Northcord Model Company is now releasing the twenty sixth livery on the 10.9 metre long, single-door casting – ukbus 6540 in the livery of East Yorkshire.
ukbus 6540 represents fleet number 921 (YX69 NMZ) that was new to East Yorkshire in November 2019. Bus 921, as replicated, carries a full and colourfully branded livery for EastRider working route X46, heading to York Rail Station. Such unique feature, and the special, comprehensive livery and branding are 100% reproduced onto the ukbus 6540 models.
The stand-out features of the branding are : “TALKING BUS” and “WIFI USB” and EastRider at the front; the big “EastRider” on both sides, with “Hull Beverley York fast” above the slogan, along with key locations served “York, Pocklington, Market Weighton, Beverley, Hull”, “up to EVERY 30 MINS” and the illustrations of ‘York Minster’, ‘Clifford’s Tower’, ‘Beverley Minster’, ‘The Deep, Hull’ on both upper sides with large representation of the white rose of Yorkshire on the lower panels. Further slogans include : “feel at home”, “comfy seats, free WiFi & USB charging on board”, “another great route from East Yorkshire” together with an illustration of a sofa on the rear as well as a further EastRider name.
The Alexander Dennis Enviro400 MMC ukbus 6540 is a one-piece casting whose clean lines accentuate the square, gasket-mounted windows and the livery application on which all logos and lettering are clearly legible. Another main feature on the ukbus 6540 model is its dual tree protectors at the front. The front dome on the model is significant, with curved windscreens on both upper deck and lower deck.
Northcord Model Company is also creating new design standards within the interior of both saloons. These features, inside the compartments, will represent the real, outstanding layout of the Enviro400 MMC, such as the extensive portrayal of handrails on upper deck and lower deck, etc.i
UK6540 is limited to 1200 pieces worldwide.
