(...) I can see how it wouldn't have worked into the design of your bus, but I may be able to use it on mine... hmm! I may try that tonight! Sean --- (URL) Brick Apple - New York City in Lego (22 years ago, 5-Jun-02, to lugnet.town)

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)

(...) Hello, There aren't too many sets that meet your critiera, but for $60 (only $5 more than the amount you want to spend), you could check Bricklink.com and buy #588 Police Headquarters; there is at least one shop selling it for the (...) (22 years ago, 5-Jun-02, to lugnet.town)

(...) Actually, no, the windows are actually open holes... they're framed by 1x1 black bricks on the side, a 1x2 plate on the top, and a 1x2 tile on the bottom. If they look "solid" in the photos, its probably just the lighting. (...) Not yet. Right (...) (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)

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)

All: 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. (URL) second (...) (22 years ago, 5-Jun-02, to lugnet.announce.moc, lugnet.town)
