Summary
A small panel, separated from a model bus made from Meccano, built by the donor in the 1970s. The bus is a Leyland Atlantean, and is based on a basic double-decker bus design from the 'No.10 Manual' of Meccano models. The panel is a curved yellow part that forms the wheel arch over the front right wheel. There are scratches to the paintwork and some signs of rust.
Provenance
Made by the donor from various sets of Meccano bought for him each Christmas. Donated to the Museum of Childhood by Malcolm Lewis in June 2011.
