Bring a classic piece of London transport history to your collection with the Sun Star 1:24 Routemaster Bus RM1000 “100 BXL” Red Limited Edition Diecast Model. Finished in the famous red livery, this model captures the unmistakable look of one of Britain’s most iconic buses.
The Routemaster is closely associated with London’s streets and became a symbol of the capital thanks to its open rear platform, rounded body shape and long service life. RM1000 was part of this legendary bus family, representing an era when the Routemaster was a familiar sight for commuters, tourists and transport enthusiasts alike.
Made as a 1:24 scale diecast metal model, it measures approximately 35 cm long and includes an openable bonnet for added realism. Officially licensed and limited to just 1000 pieces, this Sun Star model is a standout choice for bus collectors, London memorabilia enthusiasts and fans of classic British transport.
“100 BXL” Background
The registration 100 BXL is especially meaningful as it identifies RM1000, the 1000th Routemaster bus built. Rather than being just a standard registration number, it highlights an important milestone in Routemaster production and gives the vehicle added historical interest.
On this Sun Star model, the 100 BXL registration helps mark the bus as a specific and notable example from the Routemaster story. It makes the model especially appealing to London transport collectors, Routemaster enthusiasts and anyone who appreciates classic British vehicle history.

Understanding Scale
The scale of a model is its size as a proportion to the real-life item. For instance, a 1:18 scale model means that every 1 unit of measurement on the model equals 18 units on the real item. If you divide the real item's size by 18, you'd get the size of the 1:18 model. Please note that models can vary slightly in size, as not all real-life items, like cars or planes, have the same dimensions.
