dsl ◊ 2022-11-10 15:18	The only shot of this model, but using this page to dump a pile of these. Some confusion about which bus the KLB 732 model represents - Ian's Bus Stop is straightforward - KLB 732 = RT1610, new in Feb 1950, sold off in March 73. But this flickr photo says "Large scale London transport RT1951 model Acton Depot. This model carries the fleet number RT1951, although the registration number KLB 732 is that of RT1610.". Looks like same ads and #25 route. No obvious reason why KLB 732 was chosen as a significant example. Others: - opening clip - another on its way to Aldenham for resurrection Plate/# never quite legible. Has had front and rear destination board rollers removed. - KYY 704/RT1849 (and KYY 794/RTL824??) - OLD 689/RT4449 entering refurb with problems marked up - OLD 674/RT4454 getting final touches after refurb
