During the Routemaster Associations Routemaster 70 event at Chiswick Park, London, Bachmann Europe Plc unveiled four new 1: 76 scale RMC Routemaster coaches as part of its expanding EFE Road range of diecast collectables. The new models come hot on the heels of EFE Roads four standard AEC Routemaster models announced in April, and continue this years celebrations marking 70 years since the very first Routemaster prototype, RM1, was unveiled to the world in 1954. The RMCs were introduced in 1962 to work on London Transports Green Line cross London and suburban services, following trials with the prototype, CRL4 (later RMC4). They were a direct development of the standard RM, and while visually very similar, they differed in having twin headlamps, electrically operated platform doors, more comfortable seats with increased legroom, and the addition of luggage racks. A higher rear axle ratio, rear air suspension, and increased fuel capacity also set the RMCs apart from the RMs. A total of 68 were built, seeing service with Green Line and later London Country, before all were bought back by London Transport. Many ended up as driver trainers, but seven were reinstated as passenger carriers in 1989 for the new X15 route; the latter remaining in traffic until the early 1990s, although some continued in use well into the 2000s. The four new EFE Road models represent examples of RMCs during various stages of their London careers. Like the RM models, they have been produced using EFE Roads refined Routemaster tooling, and now feature such enhancements as bodyside panel lines, plus highly detailed liveries and advertisements where appropriate.
