DENNIS DART / MARSHALL models

Proposed models:
Announced in February 2020 models based on the Alexander Dennis Enviro400City and BYD-ADL Enviro400CityEV. These are scheduled to start production in the second part of 2023. The Scania gas variant is another possibility being explored.
In August 2022 Northcord announced the revival of the CMNL Enviro400 and Scania OmniCity doubledeck models.
First release will be UKBUS6201 an all white Enviro400

UKBUS6518 Go South Coast More Alexander Dennis Enviro400MMC 1560 (HF66CGE) will commence production shortly.
UKBUS6527 Stagecoach North Scotland Alexander Dennis Enviro400MMC 11173 (SK19EKU) will conclude production by mid October 2022.
UKBUS6530 Go North East Alexander Dennis Enviro400MMC 6341 (YX20 OKA) new in early 2020, 6341 carries a full and colourfully branded livery for Xlines working route X71, heading to Consett. The stand-out features of the branding are: "TALKING BUS" and "WIFI USB" at the front; the big "Xlines" on both sides and rear, along with key locations served "fast into Newcastle, Sunniside, Stanley or Consett", together with "bring your bike on board", "comfortable, WIFI USB, talking bus, this is a low emission Euro 6 bus" with unique symbols respectively. Further slogans include: "take a ride on the green machine", "super low emission engines & stop start tech for a greener city", "frequent, rapid links from Go North East" together with an icon illustration of the city on the rear. Furthermore, a full-length destination display is carried on both sides, with the offside one mounted amidships. As 6341 is carrying the registration number with "OK", it will create additional interest to the model collectors far away from the Newcastle and North east area. The "OK" will recall the link to the OK buses from the same area. The Alexander Dennis Enviro400MMC is a one-piece casting whose clean lines accentuate the square, gasket-mounted windows and the livery application on which all logos and lettering are clearly legible. Another main feature on the model is its dual tree protectors at the front. The front dome on the model is significant, with curved windscreens on both upper deck and lower deck. Northcord Model Company is also creating new design standards within the interior of both saloons. These features, inside the compartments, will represent the real, outstanding layout of the Enviro400MMC, such as the extensive portrayal of handrails on upper deck and lower deck, etc.

"Coming soon" was a new casting announced at SHOWBUS 2009 - the Alexander doubledecker. Many casting variations were expected, including dual door but it was a non-starter as EFE concentrated on re-issuing previous models with different destinations and registrations. Illustrated is former Alexander (Midland) MRF120 (SMS120P) a Daimler Fleetline undergoing restoration at the Scottish Vintage Bus Museum in August 2009, photo by Dave Reid.

A 1/24th scale model of the RF was announced at SHOWBUS 2007,
the patterns were shown at SHOWBUS 2008 but the project was also still born.

EFE announced a new modern vehicle casting at SHOWBUS 2006 and gave the details in 2007 of the new East Lancs Olympus double and singledeckers. Uncertainties at East Lancs/Optare delayed commissioning of the model since branded the Optare Olympus and has since emerged as the integral MetroCity. In the meantime TTC announced the model to be introduced into their new range at TTC SHOWBUS 2011 but that too has stalled, with their Spectra and Versa models a long time in gestation and these projects have since passed to Jotus with whom TTC were working.
