Most are EFE, but the two at the rear are old Dinky and Corgi toys.

It is EFE 15619, which was part of a different LTM set.

I've got open topper 17901, which missed the photo shoot due to being parked in a different garage to the others. Thanks for the offer.

Also got an RMC somewhere.

My London fleet stands at around 80 vehicles, with no duplication of model types.

Cool, I had one open top spare had you wanted it! I didnt get the FRM prototype, it was £80, not cheap, but theres plans for one in London 1930s style livery and one with adverts, Im waiting for that. Do you have DMS or Metrobus models?

DMS, I have 25701 and open topper 26101. Also have the XF 18203 and DM01 Fleetline 24401.

Metrobus I have Corgi 45102, 45103, 45105

I believe there may be another release of the FRM model this year.
