It does look considerably different, Mike
Yup. Thats the 2008/9 IC-FE. I would love to see the bus when you get a chance, I've never seen one with KY specs (the new model).

This picture? Well, this was the first FS-65 I got, so it is aged. There are so many scratches from the removal of the many sticker letters, and the rub rails are re painted with a sharpie. The new paint job is because I was going to make it my cousin's Anaheim, CA bus with the rear stop sign (super glued) and made a trade in buses. So I got it back and had a hard time getting the glue off.  (I will have to say that I do love the brake/directional/back up lights.) I used the lights on my IC CE fire-burned bus. The bus does ok with the paint job because that bus in real life (and it's twin's) all have a lot of rust issues and had the bottom of the service door repainted. |

| I do not. I was going to add them later. Tell you the truth, I have been slacking off and haven't done the finishing touches. Sorry. |

Hey Sam. I put up some pictures of my cousin's Anaheim fleet. Now, I don't know the roster for the ACSD, so I used all convensionals. I guess I need to start getting him some transits! Plus, I need to paint the rims yellow.

Nice!!
I like those IHC/Carpenters or whatever. And yes, if Anehiem is a typical California fleet it will have a bunch of transits. |

| Thank you. I had to guess on the body. I thought that the service door and rear lights (because of the location of the reverse) looked like a Thomas, but everything else looked like a Carpenter. |

I need desparate help with this.
Is it better to buy the Testors Enamel Black paint to use with a paint brush or to buy the spray paint form when coloring the rims of your bus? For my Sunyside 9852's, I spray painted them. I want to paint both of my Realtoy Freightliners but I can't get the axle to come apart. Help needed! Thanks. |

Hey everyone. I has been doing a lot of updating with my models lately and thought I would post them for fun.
Here is the link to my updated models: http://good-times.webshots.com/album/563991366DJOKzN
For those interested, I posted pictures and instructions on how I made cross arms on my Freightliners. Check 'em out. Note: you can see an updated version of Route 5 on the "how to make a cross arm" It has new front lights. (haven't gotten to the back yet)

I like your pictures, I just didn't reply! I like the way you make your crossing bars...I wouldn't have thought of that.
I should get some more pics of my buses...I have done a little bit of detailing in the way of window posts and exit doors. Still havent completely converted a bus to California specifications though |

My cousin was thinking of getting an FS-65 for Christmas. He wants it to be Anaheim 8. http://www.schoolbuscentral.com/gallery/updates/jan05/th_3_fre_ea00_ca.htm
It will be a good challenge! I don't know what the driver's side looks like but I can see an exit door throught the windows. I hope it doesn't have a storage belly in the extended trim like your picture in your signature. |
