Models in the Spoddendale fleet

Three of the thirteen examples of the Jonckheere Bermuda model manufactured by the Dutch company EFSI from the Spoddendale fleet. Whilst these 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 rows of seats.

Coach 96, one of the two which had Mercedes-Benz grilles, is on the left. The other two are Volvos.

Centre is coach 99 which carries a promotional message for ‘Private Parties Travel’ with four red balloons tied to the fleetname - 99 and red balloons inspired by a certain song.

Coach 103 features opening door detail and steps (although the door couldn’t be found for the photograph). It has a small contingent of passengers on board including a young couple cuddling on the back seat. This model has another feature not noticeable in this photograph. The front and rear lights have fibre optics brought from the mid position of the chassis where a 10mm hole was drilled through the chassis base. When the model is placed over an illuminated torch bulb light is carried to the front and tail light fittings.
