Northcord Model Company is proud to
release its first model of the UK6200 range on the former CMNL 10.1 meter short
wheelbase Enviro400 tooling. This is UK6203, replicated in the fleet of
Stagecoach London carrying the unique Transport for London all-red with ‘hybrid
Electric Technology’ livery. UK6203 features Stagecoach London 12144 (LX61 DDZ)
working on the famous London route 15 to Regent Street. 12144 was new to
Stagecoach London in 2011, representing the revolutionary modern double-decker
in the capital. The Alexander Dennis Enviro400H Hybrid double-decker has taken
the market by storm with its excellent reliability and fuel consumption saving
of greater than 30%. The hybrid drive system also delivers improved emissions
including reduced Particulate Matter and Oxides of Nitrogen. The ADL Enviro400H
is fitted with Cummins ISBe Euro V, EEV engine fitted in conjunction with the
BAE system Hybridrive equipment. The BAE-supplied batteries use Lithium Ion
technology. NMC retooled the ADL Enviro400 casting in early 2010 for the
Enviro400H Hybrid version from its successful Enviro400 which launched with the
UK6001 with ‘Spirit of London’ decoration in 2006. Continuing from the E400
tooling, NMC is creating new design standards in the layout of the interior of both
saloons. These features inside the compartments represent the really
outstanding layout of the Enviro400H Hybrid in new specifications, such as,
re-located destination blind at the rear, newly design ventilation grill above
the lower-deck window at the back, and extensive portrayal of handrails on
upper and lower deck, etc.
Another main feature on the UK6203 model is its dual individual tree protectors at the front. The front dome on the model is significant, with its curved windscreens on both upper and lower deck. The re-tooled UK6203 model replicates all new items at the engine room correctly. The headlights at the front are made of individual components to look more realistic. The Enviro400H model is a one-piece casting whose clean lines accentuate the windows and livery application on which all logos and lettering are clearly legible.
The UK6203 is a Limited Edition of only 1008 pieces produced.
