AEC Q Single Deck - London Trasport

Civil Defence Mobile Gas Unit

Model No. OM41010

In 1932 there suddenly appeared on the London streets a revolutionary new design with a full front and seats in position where orthodox passenger vehicles had engines. An entirely new design of chasis was evolved by AEC at Southall, with the engine positioned on the offside frame member behind the front axle.

After the success of the single deck Q with L.G.O.C. and provincial operators, the L.P.T.B. ordered 102 4Q4 type for the Country Area bus work which entered service throughout 1935. Although far ahead of its time, the Q Type was only in production for 4 years but it paved the way for the underfloor engined type so much in evidence today.

This superbly detailed model is manufactured by The Corgi Original Omnibus Company in 1/76 scale.

The bus is a limited edition of only 1,410 and includes a certificate.

The model is mounted on a plastic display stand in a clear plastic display box and is complete with cutaway card outer box.

UK postage on this model is only £2.49
