Thanks, whulsey! I am delighted to see so many different liveries represented.

They would be nice souvenirs of a trip to one of the locations represented, along with say, a plastic coffee cup from Amtrak or a paper napkin from the Appleby's there.

Great!

What a good find! I have collected lots of bus models, and they're nearly all European or Japanese, but it was great to see all these examples from the USA and Canada. All that they need is a small modification to give proper 3-D wheels and they'll be terrific. Something I particularly like is the fact that we are given plenty of information about the prototype and the operator, so it's easy to find photos of the real thing to help in detailing etc.
Thanks for the link.

Modifications

I have contacted Ryan Flores at the site, and sent him a copy of this model modification:

He's happy with it so far, and now I just need to build a test one for him to see.
