Solved - MJW #1072 - AEC Q with a Walker body 1934
« on: December 27, 2012, 03:32:11 AM »
I nearly forgot to add a bus.......
Identify the maker, model, year and coachbuilder for one point.
If you can also tell me in which city it is operating, it may help if I have to lock it for you in the future.....

AEC is correct but the body is not by Brush.
Also the city is not Edinburgh.

Q type?
Yes that's correct...
Now I need the year and bodybuilder for the point.

In Aberdeen is correct.
The bus dates from 1934 and the photo may have been taken in 1935.
Coachwork is not by Alexander though - think of a more local bus bodybuilder....

As you've got so far I'm going to LOCK it for you until your next reply.

Walker?
Congratulations!
It is a 1934 AEC Q witha a Walker body operated by Rover Bus Service just prior to the takeover by Aberdeen Corporation Transport.

I thought that might be a hard puzzle unless you were familiar with the British bus scene.
Another point propels you towards Expert status.
