![[Image: 05-43busyn3781.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/10314/05-43busyn3781.jpg) YN 3781 = 1926. Buses On T'Web says it's NS1858, another NS-Type. And it's the last beaky bus from this film. |

Countrybus.org says : "NS1739-1952 (...) LGOC ordered another 200 NS types, with chassis built by themselves and with roofed bodies. Fifty bodies came from Shorts, one hundred and fifty from Chiswick." Chassis history : NS 1858 YN 3781 */26 built by LGOC: closed-top body H28/24RO http://www.countrybus.org/NS/NS_a.htm#fleet |

http://www.gracesguide.co.uk/AEC I think that this clearly describes the relationship between London General Omnibus Company and Associated Equipment Company, and, in my opinion, settles the question of whether these buses were AECs or not. -- Last edit: 2016-10-07 11:56:24 |

So should this be our first LGOC NS-Type as has been entered?? Or AEC with all the others?? |

My view is that the buses built by AEC should all be called AEC. Follow the LGOC route and the logical conclusion is that all the vehicles constructed for London Transport, its predecessors and successors should be named after the operator not the builder. London Transport RTW? I think not. |

Following some further digging, it appears that a significant number of the NS class was assembled by the LGOC at its Chiswick works. I suppose, strictly speaking, these should be given the make LGOC, but as they were still the AEC design, and if the image prevented accurate identification of which bus it was, the best compromise would be to continue as AEC make. |
