Some more trolleys....C&G, CG&W, H&F, and others....

[Rufus T. Firefly]

It's interesting to me that there is no thread dedicate to buses, solely.
And why might that be?

No one has started one = try it and see what happens.....

What's the worse that could have - total annihilation of the Universe, a flock of ducks arrive on your front lawn and simply watch you forever, you are visited by clowns and mimes on alternating days, congress could actually do something, or you could make friends with a large brown bear named Bobo and he would move in with you.

After looking carefully at Murphy's photo of the 1666....
it looks like Pittsburgh was trying to join the cities
that had trackless trolleys (aka "trolleybusses")??

This is an all-brass HO model of a Huntington Standard car built by Oriental Models:

Very nice. Just going on eBay and looking at HO traction & trolleys is depressing - there were so many imported but relatively none in O.

I think we get to look forward to building our favorite O scale trolleys ourselves.

Indeed. Building out own is more rewarding, but I will confess that parts and drives are beginning to get limiting.

The wheel on the paving bricks pretty much jumped out at me. Wonder what happened?

The wheels on the bus go round and round?

I just noticed the truck bumper is pretty bent.

Ooohhh, good observation, Roy, I hadn't noticed that at all. I think you analyzed what probably happened, huh.

Naw, just a simple observation. I have no clue what happened.

I know that PCCs are well-engineered and very modern for their time, but I'm really sick of the way they look. They're like a cockroach on rails.

I'll-advised twaddle removed.

[Roy]

It may just be because I can see it better, but I prefer the blue and cream bus.

[MurphOnMillerAve]

...OK , and how d' you like 'em now...?

[rogruth]

Ahhhh, Murph.
Even the rooftops are nice.

The only bus I could see in these later shots is painted similar to the Greyhound Bicentennial scheme. But, it looks more like a 60's or 70's Flxible city bus. I see it's lettered for Lionel City Bus Service. I'm afraid I don't find that model of bus at all interesting.

The only difference between the earlier buses I can see, besides color, is the size of the Deco wing fenders.

Thank you, Roger, it's always nice to hear from you, not just because you always have something pleasant to say to this fellow-hobbyists but because you make the effort and appear to have the interest in say something. Thanks again. I appreciate the reach-back.
