This diecast model AEC Regent RT852 JXN230 (1947) is Red and features working suspension, wheels.
RT852 was the first example of the new RT3/1 body (with no roofboxes at all) and had been presented to the public at the Commercial Motor Exhibition at Earl's Court in 1948.
In July 1948, the first delivery of RT3/1s was made to Dalston when they received a batch of 6. In October, to replace their ST's on Routes 81, 116 and 117, Hounslow became the third garage to receive them when a batch of 16 was delivered, including RT852. Despite its brand new 3-bay layout to the front blind box, restricted blinds had to be used because none of the new format were available, when RT852 first entered service on Route 117.
1:24 scale (approx. 30cm / 11.8in long) - made by Sun Star.
