Plaxton Paragon "Felix Coaches"

BARGAIN


This item has a limited edition certificate included.

Felix Bus Services was started in 1922 by Mr Norman Frost, operating a Crossley lorry to carry coal during the week, and after adding seats to the rear of the vehicle, carrying miners and their families at weekends. He operated from Stanley village, between Derby and Ilkeston, and when many asked what he would call his first coach, he decided to use the name Felix from the popular song of the day ‘Felix Kept on Walking’. The first coaches were mainly Crossley lorry chassis with passenger bodies by Yeates or Willowbrook of Loughborough, and a black cat emblem was applied to the body sides. In 1937, a new garage was built on Station Rd, Stanley, and the operating centre is still in use today. The present fleet includes Scania, Volvo and Optare service buses and Volvo and Iveco coaches. A full holiday programme to most UK resorts and the continent is operated each year, together with a variety of interesting excursions. The Plaxton Paragon coach was purchased in March 2006, it is fitted with 53 seats and full air conditioning, and is used for the holiday tours and excursions programme.

Plaxton Centenary Set with Excalibur, Panorama, Panther and Beaver

BARGAIN


This item has a limited edition certificate included.

Plaxton has been trading in Scarborough since 1907, initially in construction but soon after became heavily involved in vehicle Coachbuilding. The business developed rapidly in the post war era, capitalising on the boom in travel which followed the austerity period of the forties. By the early 1960’s, Plaxton had become the second largest coachbuilder in the UK and with the launch of the highly acclaimed Panorama and Elite ranges, moved into the number one spot by 1970, a position it has sustained ever since. By 1990, the company had moved from a publicly quoted company, largely under control of the founding family, to merge with the Henlys Motor Group making it one of the UK’s largest publicly quoted automotive companies. The model and market range had by this stage expanded to include buses and a takeover of Northern Counties in Wigan added double deck buses to the portfolio for the first time, making complete the already comprehensive range. Expansion saw ventures in the US and Canada acquired by Henlys, some in partnership with Volvo. A further change of ownership came in 2000 when Henlys merged their UK bus operations with those of the Mayflower Corporation to form Transbus International and a subsequent internal restructure which consolidated bus production in plants in Scotland and the north west. Scarborough became a dedicated coach plant once again, setting new standards for production and innovation in the industry. Major developments in lean manufacture, accessible vehicles and supply chain all contributed to the success of the venture in this period. The collapse of Mayflower saw a management buyout of the Plaxton operations in 2004, subsequently the company entered into a period which can be seen as one of the most rapidly developing in it’s history.

Key features of the UK7000 series, exemplified on UK7007, include an extensive portrayal of handrails, the headlight / indicator units at the front made of individual, translucent components to look more realistic and the red lights at the rear made similarly, with the indicator and reversing light colours tampo-printed on top.

New Products & "Advance" orders

We are unable to supply accurate information regarding the expected delivery date of soon-to-be-released products. We are one of the largest model railway & model road vehicle retailers in the country - and so are always amongst, if not, the first to receive delivery of brand new releases.

We allow you to place pre-orders for many items - all these listed at our ehattons.com Forthcoming Releases page. We also allow the opportunity to sign up for a "Delivery notification" email, which will be sent when the item arrives into stock, but this doesn't create an obligation to order.

New items appear on our websites at least within a day (often minutes!) of delivery, and in our magazine advertisements after 3 to 7 weeks.

This site is updated continuously, and reflects current availabilty and prices
