Model details

Rapido Fleetline model #6907 is a 1/76 scale replica of a West Midlands Passenger Transport Executive (WMPTE) bus in the Blue/Cream livery, intended to represent the 51 Birmingham route. It is designed for OO gauge layouts and carries the manufacturer part number 901028.

The model is constructed from injection‑moulded plastic and metal, with body weld lines, extrusions and rivets reproduced accurately. The interior is fully detailed in multiple colours, free from large posts that would block the aisles, and includes separately etched metal grab poles. Steerable front wheels fitted with rubber tyres and flush glazing throughout enhance realism, while working headlamps and interior lighting provide functional illumination.

The paintwork is applied evenly so as not to obscure fine details, and the proportions are based on laser scans of the real vehicle. The model requires a 9V 500 mA DC power supply, which is not supplied with the product.
