Given the long subway drought recently, some of you might be interested in an alternative coming up in 2016. If you like O-scale bus models to match your subways, you're probably familiar with the excellent Corgi models of GM transit buses over the past twenty years, which are no longer being produced. Next year, however, the Saint Petersburg Tram Collection will begin selling O-scale models of the Flxible new look buses of the 1960s and 70s that competed head-to-head with GM. Initial offerings will include buses from Chicago, Cleveland, and and three New York versions- TA green, TA blue, and Triboro. SPTC's models are museum quality, but with prices to match- these buses will go for north of 500 apiece. However, Flxible kits will be available at lower prices, so you can decorate them any way you want.
