Forgot all about this thread! I have both models and, yes, the red does look slightly more subdued in real life. However, one of the models has a blue roof and I'm sure ACT buses always had red ones. Despite that, they're both beautiful items with lots of little details like the address of the transport office at the bottom of the bodywork. An evocative and poignant reminder of the days when Accrington had its own bus fleet...and one we could be proud of too!

Grego, you can buy 'em from the Ian Allen model shop on Piccadilly station approach in Manchester.
