Catalogue listing

Oxford Diecast Silver Jubilee is a 1:76 scale model bus produced under the part number RM026. The model represents a London Transport AEC Routemaster in the British Rail Blue livery that was used before the introduction of the TOPS system.

In 1977, to mark the Queen’s Silver Jubilee, London Transport painted twenty‑five Routemasters entirely in silver and renumbered them SRM1‑25 (SRM standing for Silver RouteMaster). The silver‑liveried vehicles were returned to their standard red livery later in 1977.
