Something unusual

[John1955]

Hi, has anyone here ever attempted to detail any factory assembled 1/25th promo type big rigs by Emek and PMC? Or the PMC 1/25th Trailways buses? If so, I would love to see your work. Emek (Finland) makes 1/25th plastic trucks with cab bodies as realistic as any authentic kit has, but they have toy like chassis and no engines. 

PMC made International Harvester rigs back in the 1950's that were 1/25th scale, but no window glass and also toy like chassis and no engines. They are found regularly on ebay. And they made Trailways 1/25th scale buses, again, no windows, toy chassis and lacked engines. These would make great projects.

I've seen a few of the emek ones detailed up and they look pretty good

I remember someone sold resin cast bodies of the Trailways bus back in the 80s or 90s (the lettering gives it away).

But I have never seen one in person or for sale. Your picture is what triggered a recollection.

The Trailways bus would have to be 19 1/4 inches long to be 1/25. It's actually about 18 inches long. I have a Scenicruiser plastic bus about the same size as this Trailways bus. They don't look too bad with 1/25 scale surroundings, but they are a tad undersized, especially the width.

Tom do you have a picture of the greyhound bus?

Oh man I wish I’d seen that.
