Manufacturer description

The Leyland Titan was a forward-control chassis with a front mounted engine designed to carry double-decker bus bodywork. It was built between 1927 and 1942 and then after WWII between 1945 and 1969.

Samuel Ledgard of Armley, Leeds travelling to Ilkley via Guiseley , registered PNW 91. Decorated in a bright blue with white masking right round between the upper and lower deck and black mudguards, lower side bars ad radiator grille, the bus also has the unusual addition of a bright green roof section. The double-decker is devoid of advertising but the Ledgard name appears beneath the lower deck windows in gold with white shadow-work and again, with all the contact details, across the back. The interior seating is moulded in a dark brown/red and the floor and platform base is given a fawn brown finish. It's a great model to add further colour to your bus line-up of the day as well as appealing to 00 gauge model railway enthusiasts
