 
Tomica produced two 1/86 scale castings
- a closed top (L8) and an open top (L17).
Of all of the different manufacturers, I have seen the fewest references
to this line, and rarely see them for sale. While there are many Tomica
enthusiast websites, none have any references to these buses. |

 This 1976 catalog clearly shows a London Bus on the cover, though it's just not clear if it's an RM or not. |
 Tomica L8 "Newcastle Amber Ale" |
 This 1981 catalog again shows several possible RMs, but it's just not clear if any are RMs or not. |

 Tomica L8 "St George" |
 Tomica L8 "Chessington Zoo" |

 This 1990 catalog shows both the L8 and the L17. |
 Tomica L8 "DFDS Seaways" |
 Tomica L8 "Barnes Piano" |

 I
tried enlarging the above shot, but it's a bit fuzzy. You can at least
see the L8 and L17 numbers more clearly. |
 Tomica L8 "Japan Motorcar Museum" |
 Tomica L8 "China Dragon" |

 Site visitor Bob Belcher sent in this Tomica from his collection |
 Tomica L17 Open Top "London Sightseeing Tour" - notice that the advert from the above appears (in smaller form) on the bus to the left, below the lower windows. |

 One of the better Tomica websites that I have found. All of the catalog shots on this page were taken from it. www.supergreattomica.info |
