DescriptionSpecifications

The Routemaster was first introduced in the early 50s. It emerged as the most popular double decker bus of all time. As one man operated buses came more into use , some of the Routemasters were sold off to a variety of fleets throughout the U.K. Some vehicles were even exported for use in other countries.

Shown here at a scale of 1:120.

This history of Oxford Diecast and production in Swansea means the lineage of this model is quite interesting. Many rememember the Corgi (Mettoy) Routemaster that was manufactured in huge numbers. Back in the 1970's when ever we were short of production orders, we just inserted 250,000 buses into the programme. I recall many punch ups with the sales force, who would object strongly as they had the reponsibility of selling whatever was made. Needles to say when they were sold out and the warehouse was empty of Routemasters, they would quickly criticise the factory !

Harry Ferguson designed this agricultural tractor, which proved to be one of his most successful inventions which he introduced in 1946. The TE stood for Tractor England while the Model A signified Harry Fergusons suction side hydraulic control system. The Little Grey Fergie was manufactured in Huddersfield until 1956 by the David Brown Company, a name also synonymous with farm vehicles.

Decorated in all over grey, our Little Grey Fergie in 1:120 scale features a black seat and steering wheel and even the tiny badge is reproduced printed in blue above the black radiator grille.
