Great work on the engine ! Very good idea also the magazines below the driver's seat.

Hi Daniel...
I used to drive the Routemaster...
Before I was a Coach Driver, I was a Bus Driver, as were 99% of Coach Drivers of the time, it was part of the natural progression!
My Routemaster was Green not Red, as I worked for the Country Division of London Transport. I was based at Addlestone Bus Garage in Surrey.
After a period of time as an ordinary Bus Driver, I became a Greenline Driver which allowed me to be accepted as a Private Hire Driver, but I needed to be upgraded to full manual PSV license (public service vehicle). Nowadays it's a PCV license (passenger carrying vehicle)... And does not carry the same Kudos as the PSV!!! I remember getting my original PSV, even though you had passed your test, you didn't know if you had a license or a job until you had sat before the Commissioners Of Police, who decided if you had the job not. I can still remember sitting there shaking like a leaf waiting to be seen! and here I was again, just passed my manual test and back at Bromyard Avenue Acton to see the Commissioners again...
And all this because you chose to build a Revell Routemaster Bus, nice one Daniel
Memories are rushing back
