You have to upload them to a photo site, like photobucket. then you can either post a link to them, or inclose the URL in ![]() . if you inclose it in that, it will show up as a picture here. I will post pictures of my buses later.
Edit= i just realized that that didnt work, you can click on the insert image button right above where you type when you post, then inclose the URL in that

I moved into a new house about three years ago and have yet to put my School Bus models back out. Here's a couple of pictures of my computer room at my old house. I've added more models to my collection since I took these pictures in 2003.

| Hey Buskid, where did you you get those manufacturer nameplates (or are they stickers?) and those keychains? Were they directly from the dealers? |
What is this "Hydraulic Brakes" nonsense you speak of? |

He's some shots of the Freightliner I hand customized..
I also have one with a yellow enterance door (first attempt at a customization), and one I made into a lift bus. The lift bus is a little messy, as I tried to remove the lettering on the sides and the rub rails went with it  . I have much more than these, but I figured the customs are the most interesting. Enjoy!

They're real, not stickers. I've just collected them over the years. Some of them I bought at junkyards and from eBay, others have been given to me. Most of the keychains have been hand-outs at trade shows. |

They came that way. The one with the white top and the one with the yellow top.

These first two are pretty rare. Apparently the were only given out to employees of International Navistar but they show up on eBay occasionally:
This next one is a Siku Thomas Frieghtliner with the front off of the Sunnyside 9852 you always see on eBay. Its a custom job, you need the both the Siku , the 9852 model and a hacksaw, LOL:
The SS9852 for those who are not familiar with it:
There is another Thomas International model but unfortunately I don't have it. Its an S-1800 with a removable hood that features a DT466 engine. Its very rare but like the others will sometimes make an appearance on eBay. |

I know where I got them from. 
A couple of them came from West Coach in Chino, California. When I lived out there, I did a lot of business with them. They used to give me the beanie buses when I'd go in to have my bus serviced. The rest came from a friend who works for International. |

| I wish they sold more International Thomases. I would like a few. GMC Blue Bird 83 I like the Double A Trans. details on it. I have 3 Sunyside 9852 International BlueBirds and how did you get those turn sidnals above the wheels on the Siku International Thomas? Nice job though. |

| Oh, that S-1800 with the removable hood, I saw that on ebay and I thought that it was a 1980's International Carpenter. |

I think when I broke apart the ss9852(Which was so much fun to do, LOL) I used the turn signal "bulbs" for the rear end to make the fender signals. It was a few years ago so Its possible my memory isn't working too well and I may have used something else but I'm pretty sure that was it.
Over the years they kept falling off because I probably didn't use the correct type of glue or epoxy so none of them currently have the fender signals. I'm sure if you went to a hobby shop, you could find everything you're looking for including better materials for the signals themselves.
I gotta say that I really had not even thought about my models for awhile but this thread has gotten my interested in doing some more work, LOL. I guess its time to buy some new ones
*Edit- I just placed an order for a new Thomas C2 and a Thomas HDX, both with white roofs. They should be here within the week |

I just worked on my C2 and Freightliner Thomas today. I colored the rims black on the C2. On the freightliner, I colored the interior and the SB lights. It didn't come out so great. I wish it came colored. The NY style is a little plain.
08BBVision- Who are you talking about for the Siku model? |

I was asking GMCBlueBird83 about the Siku.
I also painted the rims black on my IC |
