<br /> Here's another 1:50 scale bus idea <br /> <br /> GMC/MCI/Novabus Classics:; In 1983 GMC came up with another bus that runs excellent as the RTS and the Fishbowls. It is called the Classic. These vehicles were <br />delivered to some of the cities in the US and all of them in canada.They are squary round models That was both transit and suburban .The GMC classics were manufactured from 1982 to 1987 passed the same design model to MCI(Motor Coach Industries). There were alot of these buses still delivered to canada to alot a transit agenices, plus here in the US in Los Angeles (Santa Monica Big Blue bus) Salt Lake City ,conneticuit and alot of Private Bus Companies in New York City, NY. The classics <br />was built by MCI from 1987 to 1994. Novabus took over the production and made the <br />enterence and the exit bigger. both popular in both US and canada, still being built <br /> <br />Flyer and AM General D800:; squary curvy transit buses that has the front windshield <br />built like the GMC fishbowls and The Flxible New Looks. The Flyer built the vehicles <br />from 1975 to 1978. The AMG made the same models only they were called the <br />Metropolitans. the buses bulit by AMG from 1974 to 1979 had cat eyed fron enterence. <br /> <br />But out of some of these models, they were made into Trolley buses or as we said it <br />"TRACKLESS TROLLEYS called the E800. They were not operated by gas or engine. They were operated from electricity from 2 overhear wires. <br /> <br /> The Flyer D900 and E901. has different front feature with 2 sided windshields built from <br /> 1980 to 1986. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
