Great memories of fresh bread and muffins delivered every week when I was little in NYC
John, I love it. My dad drove a Dugan's truck in his youth. Where did you get it?
Ted, I wrote a post complimenting those two buildings, and the background trees and brush looking so good, but I seem to have forgotten to hit the “Post Reply” button! (Okay, maybe it’s because I’m 74, or, better, my puppy interrupted me and wanted to take a walk. Yeah! That’s it!)
Artie
JDFonz, Great Restore!
John, I say do one to give it a try and if you like it do the other one!
Richie C. Wonderful paint job and tribute to your brother!
Ted thats a great scene at Tobias Garage! Good place to put it next the the grocery store with cold beer! LOL
Paul, Love the BeeCroft dealership scene! Just wondering if your able to change out the sign? Say maybe Dodge, Ford as you have a great selection of different makes.
Nothing new from me guys Sorry. But I still love to come and see what you are all doing! Maybe when my layout redo gets further along.

Artie'... NO.. WORRIES... I thank you kindly for your nice comments'... I don't have a dog at this time, however, some days, I don't even know what time it is....Talk about getting distracted.....(LOL) 😃
This came in the mail yesterday... really sweet!!! I fondly remember riding buses like this in the late 60’s - early 70’s (pre-air conditioning... ugh) especially on the B41 along Flatbush Ave. to go shopping in downtown Brooklyn.
My only excuse is Kevin (@Amfleet25124) made me do it

Thanks, Ted. Kevin is already here - go back about 2 pages and you will see his entire fleet. He is the best type of bad influence for sure

Thanks, Lee. And as the founding father of this thread, you do bear some responsibility for the resulting bad influencers!!!

Hey guys, thanks for all the kind words. Ok Ted, here’s a couple more before and afters, sorry about the lack of light, these were shot in the twilight of the day. And Coach, rest assured the bottom has not been restored to protect that patina.
Aw, you remembered!
@Lionelski posted:I'm inspired by you guys - I just picked these two up to restore
OR, should I keep them as is, with their "patina", and put 'em on a shelf instead of the layout?
C'mon you can do it!

Te he he he, it's all Kevin's fault, te he he he!
Growing up in the Bronx my favorite was also the White Plains Road bus.

That's a tough call, but they both have a fair amount of color left, especially the green truck, and they do not look to have any substantial metal damage, so in the vein of "they're only original once", I'd vote to display them as is.
