Scania Irizar Bus Eireann/Eurolines

Scania Irizar Bus Eireann/Eurolines

Already tooled up in Oxford's 1:76 scale, more new tooling adds a very modern bus to your N scale Oxford fleet in an eye-catching white with graphics in blue, red and white.

The Bus Eireann logo is also reproduced on the sides below the front passenger windows and on the front. Registered 06 D 59024, with a destination blind reading 890 London, the coach features tinted side and rear windows for passenger comfort.

On the roof, note the replica ventilation system and the roof hatch window, which is also tinted. The interior is grey with dark blue seating, black steering wheel and dashboard.

The Irizar Group is a Spanish-based builder of luxury coach vehicle bodies, originally established in 1889, and is ranked second in Europe with a market share of 40%.

Irizar works very closely with Scania on joint designs, although its bodies are also found on other manufacturers' platforms including Volvo, Mercedes-Benz and many others.

The Irizar PB is a coach body built on a wide range of chassis, designed by Arup Design Research in the UK. Its revolutionary styling and features led to the variant with a Scania chassis being named European Coach of the Year in 2004.

The PB body is available in 13 combinations, each suited to a particular chassis, as well as coming in different lengths and heights.
