Bachmann Spectrum Bus Terminal Question
Posted by KidatHeart06 on Monday, August 17, 2009 6:58 PM

 Hi, Has anyone built the Bachmann Spectrum Bus terminal? I'm wondering if there are any doors on the 2 back sides? The Walthers Silver Springs Terminal has an awning on the side for passengers to wait for the bus. I was thinking maybe I could add one to the Bachmann one. Thanks! George

Yes, I have; it's is a nice model very representative of the 30s and 40s (I remember one like it up in Binghamton NY).  The back side definitely has a passenger door under the canopy next to the 3 bus slots.

I added people to the inside of the front windows, an A/C unit and figures.  While the interior is not lit, I did add a short arm mercury vapor light to illuminate the alleyway.  I will be using the included sidewalks in the front and on the street side (left side in picture below).

 Very nice. Thanks for the back side picture. The box doesn't show one.  George
