That is definatly my favorite MOC of the year. I love it when a design with clever working details also looks just right, especially when it is all done in a compact space. That door design is brilliant in its simplicity (not that I think it was (...) (19 years ago, 14-Jun-05, to lugnet.town, FTX)

(...) Luca, the bus looks great, I think I'll try making one. I'm reposting to .trains as well. It's not a train, but it would go nicely withe a town layout, and the mirrior and door technique could be usefel for some types of train. Mat (19 years ago, 14-Jun-05, to lugnet.town, lugnet.trains, FTX)
