Promoting Excellence in HO Scale Vehicle Modeling

Buses Ready For Service, c. 1956 - By Peter Newgard


This collection of vinatge buses shows Peter Newgard's GM PD-4104 PRE-pre-production kit models in the foreground. The windows are simply painted black. The Greyhound decal has been completed, as shown. The "Burlington Trailways" on the second 4104 is not authentic but was taken from Peter's newest decal for the Yellow Coach Z-CT-843, fourth from left in the lineup. Also shown is a PRE-pre-production GM PDA-3703 (1947) in Greyhound colours but with a dog from the 4104 decal. Bus number 4 is Peter's 1936 Yellow Coach kit with a new and available decal.

Bus number 5 is an earlier, solid cast resin PDA-3703 (Colonial Coach Lines of Ontario) that was displayed at the 1/87 Vehicle Club Allentown Convention in 2003.
