MAN ND323F Double Deck B-Line & TFNSW Forest

Post by Ben_Daui »

I’m looking toward for these to be released, especially the B-line model as this will be the last STA model unless if Transit Graphics decides to produce models of older STA buses:

Fingers crossed TG do release older STA models in the future.

I've got a semi-collection growing consisting of Transit Graphics models but I've slowed down in recent years due to both space & cost, exception being when TG releases new models so I'm very keen to at least be able to purchase a replica 1/76 scale model of 2853 ST. (I spent forever chasing the real 2853)

This will be my first purchase of a TG double decker model since I don't have in my possession any of their other Double Decker models yet.

Where the model looks better than the real thing being raped by huge advert panels.

Only managed to pick up OZBUS19001 (2853) others were sold out by the time I got around to it but not complaining as 2853 was mainly at the top of my list.

I have received mine in the mail this morning, I got 089/100.
It would be interesting to see who got what number but seen as TG decided to split them into group variations it would require multiple lists to be made up if a thread weee to be created.

My ND323F from Ozbus arrived yesterday, I only was able to obtain OZBUS19001 which is based on 2853 ST, I have Serial No 31/100 .

an OZBUS19004 sold on Ebay last night for $510, I can't make out the serial number on that one as it is obscured & still in packaging however there is a #16 written on the packaging so I presume that is 16/75 for OZBUS19004. NOTE I WAS NOT THE WINNER OF THAT ONE, I don't know who is but I'm just adding that so it can be tracked for reference reasons.

The link is https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Ozbus-MAN-N ... 7675.l2557 if you'd like to view it while It's still on Ebays servers.

Hi, I missed out on getting to look at your links as Dropbox is telling me they've expired, can you possibly fix these back up?

Thank you :)
