Broithe Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Would the 'Bus Lane' script not be the other way round, i.e., to be viewed from a bus driving towards it on the left, if you see what I mean? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nigel Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Very nice collection there Noel.I love those yellow school buses.I wanted to buy some but are not for sale at the moment. Hi, don't worry, the schoolbuses will return shortly. There were painting issues with the type of nylon plastic used in the original prints, and I am investigating something better. If I can get a better material, I would rather wait and offer that. Will have news posted here as soon as possible. Many thanks for your interest and support.

Tarabuses Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 Didn't the M class start the Expressway concept? They were magnificent vehicles in their day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ttc0169 Posted November 2, 2012 Author Share Posted November 2, 2012 Didn't the M class start the Expressway concept? They were magnificent vehicles in their day. Correct,sometime during 1975 was when the expressway brand and livery was introduced, The livery always looked well on the M class. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
