Repstock Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 I'm working with a caster who has a pressure pot large enough for this project. It's 1/25 scale, hope it works out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have it set up for tachographs in place of the main instruments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes COTA donated a bus to a museum in the Cincinnati area. Years ago I went down there and took hundreds of photos. Since I live in Columbus (Ohio), that's the specific setup I'm making.

vincen47 Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Looks like a great project. There’s a lot of interest in the fishbowl buses. I’d be interested in adding one to my stash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC Transit used them in the 1960 s. I have a 1/43 Dinky DC Transit bus and PMC Street car in my collection. I would sell off a few to get a fishbowl in 1/25 scale.

The November meeting for the Buckeye Scala Auto Club will be tomorrow night at the Hobby land store in the Northland Plaza. Meting starts at 7:00 pm. I think they would be interested in seeing the bus prototype you have built. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have the bus parts at the Motor City NNL 15 this Sunday. I'll be hanging out at the Missing Link table. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
