Themikepeng Posted August 27, 2014 Share #1 Posted August 27, 2014 Yeah I had another topic for this, specifically the new flyer bus but I hope someone can merge that topic onto this one... Anyway I was extremely sick of the lack of transit bus models in HO scale and I was bored toward the end of my summer so I went and made some models of common buses, I'm hoping that someone besides me also wanted more bus models... I can't make any more buses because school started but I can make minor changes and do rescales (most are in HO scale only right now, let me know if you want another scale) here's my shapeways shop: https://www.shapeways.com/shops/schoolbusmodels EDIT: i forgot to list the different models, here they are: new flyer c/d40lf diesel and CNG versions van hool a330 gillig low floor standard and BRT versions bluebird tc/2000 school bus bluebird mini bird school bus thomas hdx school bus and I forgot to mention that I have a R16, r10 and r30 subway cars that I constructed from blue prints Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Themikepeng Posted December 5, 2014 Author Share #2 Posted December 5, 2014 I have more buses already, hoping that people can use them because of how there isn't another way to get buses in ho and n scale, and I'm working on a Nova low floor bus which will be my first MTA bus and also it will have a new design: painted instead of clear windows so it will be stronger, look better and be easier to assemble, after im done i will post a new list of ho and n scale buses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Themikepeng Posted December 7, 2014 Author Share #4 Posted December 7, 2014 i don't know if anyone else has this feeling but those older nova lfs buses have these huge round headlights that look so space age ish lol and that why i like em! heres what i meanhttp://www.thebergennetwork.com/na/il/cta/6556.jpgin contrast heres what the new ones look like (like the mta one i made)http://www.chicagobus.org/system/photos/264/large/12797569035_248e09ec32_o.jpg?2014 one more sidenote: what's the top speed of these (or any mta) buses? using the transmission manufacturer's gear ratio (zf ecolite) and this calculator the top speed at redline is 59 mph can anyone confirm or deny this? hope that wasn't too much off topic randomness here's a articulated version since i STILL haven't made an articulated bus up until now http://shpws.me/zefX tomorrow im working on a xcelsior (probably wont succeed) and a mini school bus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
