 Stagecoach Leyland Olympian (Littlehampton Running Day 2nd July 2003)

A system of distinguishing the exact nature of a model Code 1 refers to an item totally made by the manufacturing company, and placed on general sale. Other codes indicate that the model was limited in its availability (a small production run not made widely available) or which has been altered after leaving the original factory.

The generally accepted codes are:

Code 1

models entirely produced by the company and made generally available, at least to the collector market.

Code 2

models produced by the company, but in restricted numbers and consequently not generally available to collectors, or else models which are subsequently altered by a third party (such as re-painting or adding new decals) but with the full permission of the original producing company.

Code 3

models which are subsequently altered without seeking the permission of the original producing company.
