This chassis can be used to motorise 36’ (11m) UK outline bus models - but does need to have a small section spliced into the wheelbase. This can be done with styrene sheet. For UK buses it is best to fit larger wheels (from the Little Bus Company range) and to widen the track by fitting 1mm thick spacers behind each wheel.

The body can be removed by unscrewing the very small screw in the rear number plate recess.
