(...) 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)

(...) 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)

(...) I once saw a bus on a train layout that used the windscreen from the flashspeeder as a front window. It looked pretty good. It was attched in a snot method with the two studs upright facing front. (if that makes sense) (...) umm, after seeing (...) (22 years ago, 5-Jun-02, to lugnet.town)

(...) Thanks, glad to hear you liked them. Yeah, I couldn't really find anything I liked for the front window; I think the slope bricks work well on the MCI bus, but not on the GMC. For that, I guess I'd need a windshield that was 3 tall, 6 wide, (...) (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)
