Model Buses Model Lists

When EFE first started producing 1/76^th scale model diecast models in 1989 it was fairly easy to keep track of the models issued. Now over 20 years later, and with well over 6000 1/76^th scale model buses, trucks, vans and cars available from a significant number of manufacturers, remembering what has been produced is a lot more difficult, if not impossible.

These lists show all the known 1:76th (4mm) scale models produced by the manufacturers indicated that are available to collectors. Model bus collectors usually call them Code 1 and Code 2 models. The Model Reference Number shown is the number the manufacturer has applied to the packaging and may differ from the Model Reference Numbers you see published elsewhere. Also each model is described as either ‘Standard’ Issue (this usually equates to what is now known as a Code 1 model) or ‘Commissioned’ Issue (this usually equates to what is now known as a Code 2 model).

With the large number of models available today most collectors are selective, collecting only certain models or models from specific fleets. Included in these lists is a ‘Fleet List’ that has been produced specifically to help these collectors. Utilising the information held on each of the Model Manufacturers lists it shows all the public transport related models by operator fleet. It uses what actually appears on the model (fleet and legal name) to arrive at an appropriate fleet for each model. Some model manufacturers’ descriptions bear no resemblance to the actual bus or fleet a model represents so you will possibly note differences to what is recorded elsewhere.

As always if you have any queries, spot any errors or can provide any of the missing information needed to complete the details for each model then I, Peter Harrison, would be only too pleased to hear from you. Missing information is indicated by a ?.

Each Model List opens in a new window - simply close the window to return to the The Model Bus Website. They can be searched by using the <control>+F function supported by most, if not all, web browsers
