These buses first appeared on the streets of Berlin in the mid 1950s. The models are by Minichamps, and are rather impressive in 1:43.

Why's he got two, I hear you ask - well there is a major casting difference - one has an open rear boarding deck, whilst the other has doors.

I'm wondering whether or not to get the "Stottrop" version, which comes in a rather fetching, all over, "Zebra Stripes" livery!

Cheers,
