The Rapido Fleetline model number 6906 depicts a WM Blue/Silver bus for the 87 Birmingham route. It is produced to 1/76 scale and matches the real vehicle’s proportions using laser‑scans.
The model combines injection‑moulded plastic and metal components, with accurately rendered weld lines, extrusions and rivets. It features a fully coloured interior, etched‑metal grab poles, steerable front wheels with rubber tyres and flush glazing. The paint finish is even and does not conceal detail, and both the headlamps and interior lights are functional.
The model requires a 9 V 500 mA DC power supply, which is not supplied. It is intended for use on OO gauge layouts.
