Little Bus Company - Latest NEWS!

LBC News

The Little Bus Company produces an ever-changing range of model bus and coach kits representing vehicles which were built and operated from the 1930s to the 1970s. Each kit is available for a variable, limited period, and some are re-issued, depending on demand.

The availability list below gives the status of the current range and will be updated regularly, as changes occur. New kits are generally announced twice a year and may then be pre-ordered.

Production is a slow process and whilst we try to maintain planned dates, changes (or even substitutions), may occur at short notice. Please this page to keep up with the latest Little Bus News!

24th November 2011

indicates New models, or kits with Updated status, at this date.

Don't forget to have a look at what is ....... Coming Soon !

Please note that where a display page with full details and photographs of the model is available, the Kit No. is a link to that page. Where the page has not yet been created, the Kit No. link will take you to the Coming Soon page with photographs of the masters in development.

The new kits illustrated on the Home page and Coming Soon page will be available gradually in due course, and will also acquire their own pages. All customers with pre-orders will be notified as usual.

Please note that NO PAYMENT IS REQUIRED ON PRE-ORDERS UNTIL AVAILABLE.

Re-issue                ST 1                       London Transport ST 1

Owing to the amount of orders placed for the London L3 trolleybus its `running mate` the K2 has now been listed for re-issue. As with all re-issues production will depend on sufficient orders being received. We can confirm that this is now the case, so the K2 is planned in for next year.

SUL 3 is being produced for a special order but a limited quantity of kits will be available.
Also listed above is STAR a 1948 single deck for Australian modellers (see leaflet)
The re-issue of PFN1 AEC Regent V has now been cancelled due to lack of interest.
