Brian -
Any chance you could add a photo here for the non-FBers?

It took me a bit of figuring how, because the image was locked out, but I got it...

I have some additional vehicles available.  First, a 1943-45 M8 Greyhound ($6.00 ea):


Here it is shown assembled.  The barrel is a length of .025 inch steel wire:

Excellent additions to your product line Bryan!  While some show unavoidable-but-slight artifacts of the shrinking process, these will still make great addition to any N scale layout (or to a N scale vehicle collection)!  And as usual, having the window areas open is really nice.

I also like to commend you for deleting the older versions of your PDF catalog - I'm sure that  appreciates members being thrifty with the TRW's hosting space.

Definitely have my eyes on a couple Ford H truck cabs.
Sure wish you'd do the International DCF 400 in a long nose.

That School Bus is tempting to foob up for a decade earlier (that's a lot of glass to fill though! )

But those windows are flat - you might be able to just glue in (full lengths) pieces of clear styrene.  That is a good looking bus.

Mark,

I wonder how difficult it would be to replace the hood, fenders and grille of the bus with the hood, fenders and grille from a Showcase Loadstar?  https://www.showcaseminiatures.net/n_scale/N_Scale_Vehicle_Builders_Packs/46.html

That's what I intend to do. 
After I saw this announcement, I quickly Googled "International Loadstar bus" and there are numerous examples where the coach part isn't all that different.

BlueBird typically makes the second-unit bodies for buses (seemingly FOREVER!), and the OEM chassis w/hood is shipped to an assembler (not sure if it's BlueBird or not).  That's why the body has looked the same for decades.

Even Ford made a chassis until they pulled out over side impact restrictions on fuel tanks.  Not sure how many truck makers ended up under the BlueBird bodies.

Well, historically there have been many "body" manufacturers. When I was growing up the Bluebirds were rare, with the Thomas bodies being more common as well as Wayne.

That might work - IF the insides are flat. I might gamble on this.

Gonna wait for a reply to Wazzou's post - the Loadstar version would work better for me.
