Trax
Trax produce a range of models of classic Australian buses alongside diecast models of other commercial vehicles in their Trux range. The company also produce larger scale models of Australian classic cars, principally from the Holden and Ford ranges. All models are produced in a particular livery in finite numbers, so once sold out it is highly unlikely that more will follow, though each casting is presented in a sequence of different liveries. Visit their website to buy the latest models on line.

We have tried to gather details of all models produced and will add more as these as they become known. Missing series are truck models, eg TX4. A couple of images are linked from their host sites eg Flickr and Sydney Bus Museum's on-line shop, busshop.net, a good source of models no longer stocked by Trax.

Sydney AEC Regent III Double Decker TX6K
Trax TX6K Sydney AEC Regent III Double Decker
These were the most popular basis for double deck bus building in NSW with 359 chassis imported. These chassis carried similar bodywork to the Leylands but looked more distinguished due to their distinctive divided radiator and plated surround. With views straight up the harbour to the Opera House and the city, Watsons Bay has always been a popular destination for tourists coming to Sydney. The AEC Regent was a bit of a handful along the busy New South Head Rd but unlike the runners in the annual City to Surf, Heartbreak Hill was no problem for the old girl who took the climb in her stride. Featuring the later model pneumatic front door, this little piece of Sydney's history will not last long, with only strictly limited numbers available.

Model TX9 series Denning doubledeck monocoach

Denning doubledeck
TX9 Gray Line Denning decker coach.
Our first Denning Double Decker Coach. In the 1980s Denning invested some $1.5 million to develop a double decker coach that would be best suited to Australia's rugged operating conditions. The Denning offered coach operators high capacity loading, panoramic viewing and an optional driver's bunk and change area. Today the double decker coach is still used extensively throughout Australia for sightseeing tours, although interstate express travel dropped off significantly with the introduction of low cost airline travel. This debut release features the bold livery of the famous Gray Line model, which can still be seen in operation today. Gray Line Australia is a long established, Australian owned premium sightseeing company associated with Gray Line Worldwide. Worldwide release quantity was just 2000 models.
This outstanding Trux Denning Double Decker release features:
Finely detailed driver's console, accurately angled top front window and windscreen, tinted side windows, that great icon of Aussie motoring: the bullbar, the distinctive big blue and red stripes of the Gray Line livery and the Aussie flag is proudly displayed.
Considerable interest in this model is also expected from international collectors, so hurry, because just 2000 units of this milestone Denning release have been produced.

TX09E TransPerth Denning Double Decker Coach
TX9E TransPerth Denning Double Decker Coach.
The TransPerth bus that becomes a train.
As Perth's metropolitan area continued to expand over the years, the need for improved public transport led to the commencement of the TransPerth rail link to the southern satellite town of Mandurah, about an hour south of the Perth CBD. During the construction of this rail line a number of bus services were put in place, including the famous 'Watch this bus become a train' Denning double decker coach freeway service. Covered on both sides with a livery depicting the soon-to-arrive metrorail train, this slogan became a dominant sight along the southern route. Now, Trux have reproduced this original artwork in a sensational display of all-over livery from the 2000s era.

In the late sixties a decision was taken to replace Sydney’s ageing government bus fleet with the Leyland Atlantean These Atlanteans were the first new double decker buses since 1953. They featured numerous innovations that allowed for efficient loading and off-loading of passengers, as well as improved seating capacities. Although designed to be operated by a driver only, the Sydney Atlantean was also manned by a conductor. The government had vowed to force one man operation from their single deck buses to the double deckers, but after many strikes, the longest lasting 28 days, the union won the day and two man operations of the Atlantean continued. This debut release of the Sydney Atlantean is strictly limited to just 2800 units and is finished in the original NSW government colours of Mandarin Blue and Ivory, with Blue interior.

The Mercedes Benz Mark II bus 0305 chassis is arguably the best government bus to run in NSW. It was certainly the most popular, with 550 being commissioned during its tenure. Whilst the Mark I was the first in the series, the Mark II is credited with bringing NSW Public Transport in line with world trends.

The trip from Ryde Depot via Gladesville and Drummoyne to Circular Quay crosses four bridges, then returns the same way to Ryde Depot.

Although this appears to be a Sydney MkIII Merc, PMC went on to build additional private bus bodies after the 550 MK II order for the PTC. One was built on an IBC chassis which has been specially modelled here by Trux. It was built as a demonstrator, then was operated by Gold Coast Citybus in all over advertising livery for Pacific Fair shopping Centre.
