I have a board of the TTC bus fleet circa 1999, a collection of transfers from the early 2000s (I need to go the ought them all), a model of TTC PCC 4676, a model of an MTA fishbowl suburban on route X27, models of two london buses (a selkent E400 and a red arrows Citaro G). Additionally, I havre a bunch of route notices and the oddest thing in my collection is a TTC garbage bag (at doors open toronto, it was all they had in terms of bags.) I intend to keep the garbage bag.

That's what's coming to mind for now. It's been an enjoyable collection to get together, and not all that costly either. It's all come together over many years.

I don't think I'm up for any trades right now, sorry guys. Also left off one last thing: M102 bus stop sign.

 

Everything's up on the wall and I don't wanna go take it down, so here are some lousy iPhone photos of a few of the things when they arrived.
