This Corgi MAN 24.350 Volgren CR221LD 1:76 Citybus model is a fantastic addition to any diecast toy collection. With intricate details and high-quality die-cast material, this bus is a perfect replica of the real thing. The Hong Kong Bus is a popular choice among collectors and enthusiasts, making this model a must-have. The 1:76 scale adds to the authenticity of the bus, and the Country/Region of Manufacture in Hong Kong adds to its uniqueness. This contemporary manufacture toy vehicle is ideal for anyone looking to enhance their collection and experience a piece of history.
The model - in April 2004, almost three years after the release of the previous model of this casting, news arrived that two further models were to be released, the first in the Stagecoach style corporate livery (OM45404), and the second carrying the original and attractive livery applied to this unique vehicle when it entered service in 1997, as shown above. This model was released in Hong Kong on 16th August 2004 and will be available in the UK through John Ayrey Diecasts.
The bus - Citybus ordered one 12-metre air-conditioned double-decker from MAN in 1997. In December of that year, the bus entered service as fleet number 2500 and with a registration of HN 1013. The model of the bus is 24.350 NL-DD, and is fitted with an Australian Volgren CR221LD body. It was the first time that that Volgren had designed and built a double-deck body. The frontal design is similar to the Alexander 'R' one, as requested by Citybus. The bus is powered by an 11,967cc, 350hp MAN D2866LOH engine with ZF 5HP600 transmission. The air-conditioning was supplied by Nippondenso.
Although Citybus placed an order for a further batch of MAN 24.310s, with Berkhof and Volgren bodies, this order was subsequently cancelled owing to Hong Kong's Transport Department imposition of a fleet quota on all franchised bus operators in Hong Kong. These buses were eventually purchased by KMB and became their AMN class - AMN7 being the subject of Corgi model OM45201.
