My knowledge of buses could be written on a Peco track pin in capitals, so................
Does anyone in the collective know which buses in the Oxford Diecast range would suit my era please?
Thanks in advance

I thought ODC published the period (in years) that their models are suitbale for in their brochure which can be found on-line.

Also I'd recommend checking out other suppliers rather than limit to ODC - try also Cars Workshop (80M), Tomytec and Farish (assuming you don't mind them being rather underscale for British 1:148 scale) for RTR and kits from BHE, Langley, Gem/Fleetline and P&D Marsh.

In a word No
Think people may still be waiting for one to come along or they got bored waitng and walked instead.

This might help: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bristol_Omnibus_Company
I would say there's not much at the moment, but the forthcoming Bristol Lowdekka from ODC should fit the bill. The Duple OB and Burlingham coaches probably could be found with local operators, though that would take deeper research (follow the link 'Buses in Bristol' http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buses_in_Bristol.
Duple OBs were a very common type with independents in the '50s.

Nah, Jerry.
Just trying to get the right stuff for the area as there doesn't seem to be any Midland Redline ones.
Like I say, I know half of bugger all about buses so thanks to all who have responded so far. Google searches don't seem to have thrown much up either
