o scale bus

Tim,

This popped up immediately when I typed "O scale school bus" into Google:

   K-Line K-94444

Enter this into Google and you should get several potential sources for it back in return.

thanks mike, will do

All the buses shown there are modern.  I want circa 1940 school buses, as l think does P51, as a school bus, and to  bash into a rail bus.  Would take a Ford, prefer a Chevy, and greatly prefer something more exotic such as a Reo or Mack.

Me too

what does a 1940s Ford, Chevy, or Reo or Mack look like?  Is one HERE?

I recently retired working on school busses for 50 years. Naturally I wanted one for my layout. I found a decent looking one at a train show. Built in Russia with Russian markings. It looks the part. I removed the lettering and added some paint. There was no such thing as standard school bus yellow back in the day. I lettered using a label maker. I spent more on the label tape than the bus. I added some Arttista figures. These busses use to pop up on the auction site. I believe I purchased it from Narrow Gauge Models. He’s based in MA. and pretty sure he had a web site.

I bought one of those “Russian” Ford buses from the big auction site, as did Dave. Repainted and re-lettered. JohnA

I bought one of those Rossian Model A Ford buses, too .  May try to power it on flanges.    Alan Rail:. There are two similar/same? 1939-40 Chevy/GMC buses, with red hoods and wood colored bodies in your group.  There is a circa 1940 International with a rusty hood fourth across in top row, and a circa 1940 Ford on the larger chassis at #5 on the fourth row.  There are a lot of 1941-46 Chevrolets pictured.  The very last one looks like a 1940 Dodge.

i looked at k-line k-94444, other types of school buses, kinsfun, and kinssmart on ebay. none would have worked because of the sizes, so i went with ertl 1:50 scale 7x2x2 fits nice with my lionel tractor trailers and cars
