Graham Farish N Gauge Buses

Quite a few British buses were exported after withdrawal for further service ... as Farish's models are made to 1:160 scale, you could include examples on sightseeing tours or used as an office or shed.

Brussels Airport Used ex-London Guy Arab Utility buses on airport tours in the 1950s. Finding suitable Belgian stock for a layout might be a challenge though.

The final 7 models from the 32 announced originally are now on their way to the UK!

These were announced in the 2009 catalogue!

Typical Graham Farish buses... you wait for more than 6 years and 7 come along all at once.

I was thinking about Farish buses in general, not about their latest releases.

There's a Flickr site about British buses in the USA covering both new and exported vehicles after withdrawal https://www.flickr.com/photos/buses-international/sets/72157630062770618/

In terms of the types of vehicles Farish have produced, Bristol Lodekkas, VRs and Leyland Atlanteans in particular were exported after withdrawal - the images give plenty of inspiration for those wanting to customise their Farish models.
