My name is Marcus Cerdan and I am a Transit bus collector. As a Transit fan, I think we should see something new coming out. Few Transit bus
ideas comes to mind. 1:50 scale models of the RTS models (GMC, TMC, and Novabus), Flxible Metros, Including the Neoplan AN440’s and Gillig Phantoms. I think in my own opinion that any O scale toy company would be glad to make these kind of buses tin different transit agencies to replace the fishbowl generation[:)]. Not only we could have these models as the playful models but a display models too…
Hello Marcus, Welcome! [#oops][#oops][#oops][#oops]
I’m also a bus fan myself. I spent 15 years at a transit agency. We had Flxible New Looks, GMC Fishbowls, RTS’s, and Gillig Phantoms. I’m a big fan of the Fishbowl and Flx NLs as I grew up in New York and later, Tampa riding these coaches. Just like railfanning, I have many fond memories of enjoyable rides and talking to cool bus drivers.
I bought a Corgi Classic O-Scale New York Bus Lines fishbowl. I hope to get a few more in the future in various transit schemes.
Even though a guy like me is considered “Old School” (I’m 42) I do understand the need for the production of models of modern coaches.
You probably already know that the best thing to do is talk to fellow hobbyists and have them write intelligent letters to Corgi and other die-cast manufacturers and emphasize the intererest in these modern coaches. One very good source are our brethren on the Classic Toy Trains forum.
Take care and enjoy the forum [:)][:D]
