Modelling on a £1200 table.
Interesting to see this, particularly in light of the observations on Heljan's approach to mechanism design; you have my sympathy on the getting the things apart and back together again... We have a vintage Anbrico version of the AC Cars 'bus (in EM) on long term loan which weighs the proverbial - though probably less than the Heljan model - my layout project might well merit an occasional visit as the Yeovil shuttle used one but there are other calls on my bank balance right now.

The Heljan one I had, had badly cast gearboxes which didn't quite mesh properly with the centrally mounted motor worm drives. It was an absolute nightmare to disassemble with awful flimsy wiring. I had to file the castings to get the gears to mesh. It wasn't great at all.
