TG--nice work! I see that bus (Corgi?)--those came out in 1:50th scale, which proved my theory about the international conspiracy to keep all scale things at different scales so that no diorama can be built in completely true scale.

1:48 railroads (O scale)
1:43 cars
1:50 busses

It has to be conspiracy

Thanks John,

But I think you've been watching too many Oliver Stone movies! Conspiracy theories aside,
Corgi made the buses in about 1996, so I had to go with what was available.

What's astounding is that the Motor City Pontiac Woodie (and other MC comparables) are now commanding $1200-$1700 on the secondary market. Wish I'd bought a couple when new at "only" $325-plus!

Oh, precious hindsight,
TG
