New 'buses for 2021-2022

[jamespetts]

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.


The Leyland Leveret, a 1920s minibus


The Ford Transit minibus, a 16 seat 'bus from the 1970s and 1980s filling what was formerly a significant gap in minibus provision in the pakset.



The Leyland Lioness, a 1920s coach of an early style.


The Leyland Cheetah LZ1


The Leyland Tiger TS1 Comfort - a coach version of the popular single decker


The Leyland Lion LSC1 - a single decker from the 1920s


The Leyland Tiger TS4 - a coach from the 1930s


The Leyland Tiger TS7 - a coach from the late 1930s


The Leyland Tiger TS1 Popular - the 'bus version of the TS1 Comfort coach


The Leyland Lion LT7 - a cheaper version of the Leyland Tiger of the 1930s with a smaller engine


The Leyland Tiger PS2/5 - a single decker from the 1950s


The Leyland Tiger TS7T - a triple axle single decker from the 1930s


The Leyland Royal Tiger - a coach from the 1950s


The Leyland Tiger Cub - a lightweight version of the Royal Tiger with a smaller engine


The 'bus version of the Tiger Cub coach


The Leyland Leopoard L1 - a 1950s flat fronted underfloor engined single decker


The Leyland Leopard PSU3a - a longer version of the L1 with a larger engine


The Leyland Panther - a lower floor version of the Leopard, with better loading times.



The Leyland Titan TD1 - a pioneering double decker from the late 1920s. Note the exposed rear staircase.


The Leyland Titan TD2 - an updated version of the TD1, now with enclosed staircase


The Leyland Titan TD3 - a double decker from the later 1930s


The Leyland Titan TD4 - a double decker from the late 1930s with a diesel engine, shown in London Transport livery. London Transport referred to these as the STDs


The Leyland Titan PD1 - a double decker from the late 1940s



The Leyland Titan PD2/1 - a double decker from the early 1950s



The Leyland Titan PD2/3 - a widened version of the PD2/1 introduced following a change in regulations. This and subsequent wider versions have a slightly better loading time and slightly higher comfort than the early, narrower versions.



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.


Leyland Titan PD2/30 - updated version of the PD2/3 with "tin front". Shown here in Ribble livery


Leyland Titan PD3 - the last of the Titans, a longer version of the PD2. Shown here in Glasgow livery.

The later Leylands, such as the Nationals, the Atlanteans and the Lynx were already in the pakset with multiple liveries.

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