Rapido Trains will be announcing soon a 1/87 (HO) scale model of the GMC "New Look" transit bus. The Rapido model is based on a Toronto Transit Commission Canadian built GMDD T6H 5307N and will feature full interior and steerable front wheels. These drawings do not nrecessarily reflect the final revisions but we think it demonstrates the high level of quality expected with this model. Check the Transit Toronto web site for some historical background on these long lived buses. [posted 06/28/2016]
