Hello again, I've been busy.  Yesterday and today I created two New York
City MTA busses.

The first is a GMC city bus, with 2 sets of doors (front and rear) and a
lower profile.   These are used as crosstown locals here in Manhattan.

The second is an MCI "express bus", used to get people from the other
islands into Manhattan.  It is taller, has 6 wheels, and a ridged metal bottom.

I have a folder full of pictures of the two of them, as well as some RL
snapshots of these busses.

Enjoy!

Cool, What did you use for the windows? Black Panels? Right now I'm working on a Translink New Flyer D40LF for the VLC layout, it needs some refinement but overall I'm happy with it (It's 6 wide as well). Is your passenger area as detailed as the (...) (22 years ago, 5-Jun-02, to lugnet.town)

Sean, Very nice. I like buses (see (URL) and I like your Lego buses. I will build me one of those MCIs. Thank you for sharing. Bob (...) (22 years ago, 5-Jun-02, to lugnet.town)

(...) Hello Sean, You did it. These really look like NYC busses. I have seen many good attempt from people and some not so good ones (from me), but these are great. My only dislike are the 2x3x1 white tall slopes on the front of the MTA bus, I have (...) (22 years ago, 5-Jun-02, to lugnet.town)
  Re: MOCs: 6-wide New York City busses
 
These are awesome! The 3-high windscreen works much better than anything Lego makes in 2-high. Interesting that you abandoned pre-made window pieces for this. I had considered using a 3x6x1 canopy, SNOTwise, for the front, but couldn't make it (...) (22 years ago, 5-Jun-02, to lugnet.town)

(...) That's some more voodoo brikin there from you. I was wondering if they were in minifig scale or compatability. I'm planning out a regional transit system based on our own local buses but the width factor (4 minifig butts, aisle and walls) (...) (22 years ago, 5-Jun-02, to lugnet.town)

(...) Sean, These are beautiful! I especially like the one with all the gray ridged bricks. That one has a great color scheme. I'm not as fond of the color scheme on the other, but I suppose I should take that up with NYC's public transportation (...) (22 years ago, 5-Jun-02, to lugnet.town)

(...) Sean, Those busses look like the real things! I'd like to see you make the new articulated busses the NYC MTA uses that bend in the middle for easy control in traffic. Keep up the good work! Joe (22 years ago, 5-Jun-02, to lugnet.town)
