Yardley Wood Omnibus Garage was opened by Birmingham City Transport on the 9th November 1938. The art deco style building has a large office block, which has been reduced in length for the model. (If anyone is interested in a full length [5 foot!] model then please contact me for extra parts).

The model can be constructed signed for Birmingham City Transport (above) or in modern guise (below). It measures approximately 30" wide and  3.5" deep.

This kit might be of use to non-bus modellers as a 'town hall' type of building.
