Thanks 92, I'm also in the process of searching for an inexpensive transit type donor model. The donor for this one is a Hot Wheel, obviously. All I find so far are city type bus models. The diecast importers discontinued the transit that looked somewhat like a Thomas Safe-T-Liner. I reckon (hope) sooner or later someone will mass reproduce another. Splitrimz
they are making those "saf t liner" models again though they are starting to get rare again, and there is also a crown bus made by the same manufacturer just search up "metro school bus diecast" on ebay
