Every year at Christmas time, I focus on some pakset work. This year, I have been adding 'buses, mainly Leyland 'buses, for the pakset. A sample of some of the additions are below.

A Guy Arab Mk. II in United Welsh livery. This is the same as the existing Guy Arab Mk. 1 in the pakset, save that it has a more powerful engine and is introduced slightly later (with price/weight adjusted accordingly). My grandfather used to be a conductor on a 'bus just like this for many years in the late 1940s/early 1950s.

These look really good and hold up to the usual uniform, well finished standard of work. Well done!
