Just started collecting buses. I saw a clip of the old Glaswegian buses. Thought the livery was so nice. So I ordered four 1/50 corgi buses off eBay. It must run in the family my dad was a bus driver in Birmingham in the 60s. Love your collection and the music. Thanks for posting happy collecting
Thanks for commenting, I always respect the modellers who produce these even if some may be manufactued, so much skill and attention to detail goes into them. Will definitely be continuing my collection into the future. This is the first video/photo slideshow I've produced for my collection so keen to experiment with all sorts of ideas like a timelapse video and making use of building props etc. I'm also tempted to try producing a stop motion style video.
1:41 I Have The Airlink100 2000 Livery Trident Model From Waverley Station To Edinburgh Airport You Have! Well, I Did But I Broke It*. I Was Only 7 At The Time. I’m Better At Handling These Things Now. I Also Had The Service 8 Trident At 2:24 From Muirhouse To Edinburgh Royal Infirmary Too! I Got That One The Same Day, But It’s Still In An OK Condition. I Also Recently Got A Stagecoach Scottish Midlands 2014 (I Think) Service X7 Perth Royal Infirmary To Aberdeen Bus Station, But When It Ran The Elite, It Went From Dundee Bus Station To Aberdeen Bus Station, Now It’s On The Panorama From PRI To Aberdeen *I also had very severe autism at the time. I still have it, but it’s not ruining my life at all.
Hi, thanks for messaging I'll do my best to answer this, mght need some help identifying which one if it's a specific one, generally though they can be purchased from modelling stores across the UK like Wonderland Models or Harburn Hobbies in Edinburgh though in recent years it's got harder to find them available with only limited number of models made and less releases in the past few years. Some of the models were made specially by model makers and sold online so not every model widely available. I started collecting them when I was young and have enjoyed that since, another great place to find them is at the annual show at the Scottsh Vintage Bus Museum where they have trade stands etc.
@@johnbc70 When models were in greater availability I'd say they would go for around thirty pounds but more recently they seem to be selling for sixty so fairly expensive though I know alot of work goes into producing the models, definitely think there are good some good deals out there though when searching for them. The creative northcord are the most expensive and hard to find which the majority of the Edinburgh more modern vehicles are, really only pre-owned ones left. The company is making a comeback so hopefully they will start to produce Edinburgh models again, Northcord.
If you enjoy collecting diecast bus models I would love to hear which ones you have in your collection, why you are interested in the hobby and what got you first interested in getting started collected? This is my first attempt to creating a video relating to diecast so keen to listen to your ideas and suggestions for future photography and or videos.
For me personally I started collecting them at a young age when visiting local hobby shops such as Harburn Hobbies in Edinburgh and received a few as a gift at Christmas etc and other places, I've always enjoyed and appreciated the level of craft and quality of the models, it's the next best thing next to owning a real bus. The models themselves are getting harder to obtain so finding them part of the fun too, I've found the annual bus events at Lathalmond one of the best places to find them. I think for me too its capturing some nostalgia and memories of vehicles I've had a ride on, tend to buy models I have a connection with and not so keen on vehicles I'm not familiar with or tell a story. Would be keen hearing from others what they enjoy about model collecting, I know alot of people enjoy making their own models and also commissioning some as well.

Love your Y Types and that Lowland one is difficult to find.
It's getting harder to find and purchase models, I find searching on ebay groups and bus rally events are the best places to find them.

Hi, my son was wondering where you got the Lothian Bus from? The one at the front of your collection.

@@Alan_Taylor thanks, I have seen some on eBay but they are quite expensive. Maybe get him one for Christmas!

WHY DO PEOPLE COLLECT MOSTLY DIECAST BUSES ?.
