Strathtay East Lancs Myllennium, A127 ESG, 431.

            This is a resin kit model of an East Lancs Myllennium, and is depicted to represent A127 ESG, Strathtay’s no 431. 

431 was originally new to Midland Scottish as MPT127, a Leyland Tiger with a Duple Laser body. Later re-registered as VLT93 with Strathtay as no ST9, it would be sent to East Lancs Coachworks in 2000 to be re-bodied. 

This model represents the Myllennium single decker produced by East Lancs, which was the body built on DAF and Alexander Dennis chassis. Strathtay however had Leyland Tigers, for which a variant - the Myllennium Hyline - was produced, with Strathtay having 6 of their Tigers given this new body. Strictly speaking, 431 was a Hyline and so the interior is not fully accurate. 

Similar to R526TWR, the model of which I shared earlier today, this model represents a real bus now in preservation. 431 has been returned to immaculate condition and back into the Strathtay livery by the Angus Transport Group and an old acquaintance of mine (who kindly arranged for me to be Conductor during a Strathtay running day).
