UKBUS0073 Alexander Dennis Enviro400 - Ensignbus

Northcord Model Company is proud to release its second model of the UKBUS6200 range on the former CMNL long wheelbase Enviro400 tooling.

This is UKBUS0073, replicated in the fleet of Ensignbus carrying its standard livery.

UKBUS0073 features Ensignbus 123 (SN59 AWV) working on route X1 to Basildon Bus Station. SN59 AWV began life as a demonstrator for its manufacturer, being registered for the first time in September 2009, and toured many operators across the country in its red and gold livery before entering the Ensignbus fleet.

Because the model deployed to replicate the real bus is of a different scale length, the model has been numbered into the ukbus00xx range. However, the message to use this number on all items associated with the model was mixed up by the factory, so it carries both the originally allocated number UKBUS6204 as well as the corrected number UKBUS0073 and but it is that latter number that should be used in all references to this otherwise excellent model.

The stand-out features of the livery are : “Ensignbus” and  Ensignbus website on all sides, together with “BUGGYBUS” at the front.

The replicas feature excellent detailing, inside and out, such as realistic-looking handpoles and handrails. The Enviro400 model is a one-piece casting whose clean lines accentuate the windows and livery application on which all logos and lettering are clearly legible.
