Models in the Spoddendale fleet

A line up of the different types of models that featured in the Spoddendale fleet.

Left to right: Wiking Mercedes-Benz integral O 302 (Between 1973 and 1978 fleet numbers 78-89); Majorette Neoplan Jetliner (1979/1980 fleet numbers 90-94); EFSI Mercedes-Benz/Jonckheere Bermuda (1981 fleet numbers 95/96); and EFSI Volvo B10M/Jonckheere Bermuda (1982-1986 fleet numbers 97-107). Representing the four styles are coaches are 81, 92, 96 and 103.

Whilst the Majorette and EFSI models were basically toys they didn't look too bad when refined with wing mirrors and a little additional detail. Note the circular red 'No smoking' signs on the windows by the first eight or so rows of seats on these two types. The original 'whizz wheels' on the Majorette Neoplans were replaced with decent wheels like those on the Wiking Mercedes-Benz O 302.
