Announcing the new Aussie
bus model collection
TransitGraphics in association with Creative Master Northcord are excited to present the new AUBUS range of modern day Aussie city buses. The first models in the 1:76 scale range of models are based on the ever popular Custom Coaches CB60 body with varying chassis types.
Collectors will be able to build a fleet of our very own Aussie bus model prototypes, based on the modern buses running in our major cities today.
These buses were built in Smithfield (Sydney) by Custom Coaches using their well proven CB60 body. Custom Coaches is a totally Australian owned and operated company for over 50 years. A heavy emphasis is placed on research and development, with modern design and engineering concepts, aiding the continual advancement of bus design. With a team of well over 480 people, factories are located in NSW, Victoria, Queensland and South Australia.
The models are available through most good hobby shop retailers (see stockists - menu left); via mail order (see delivery details below); or in person from our office shop (Monday to Friday 9am till 5pm)
