A friend recently gave me a MC-7 Iconic Replica. In Greyhound livery. Amazingly well done. Great details.

Jeff, the guy who owns Awesome Diecast, is a fellow busnut!

I have one of the Allstate MC-9s, a 4104 in Greyhound's yellow-stripe livery, and a J4500 MCI in the demonstrator livery.

I agree, JC, the detail is really excellent, even if the scale is off just slightly between the three models that I have in my collection.

too small. Prefer an O or G scale. Also 4905, which for some reason is either unavailable or rare.

I have several CORGI 1:50 scale buses and fire apparatus. Those that you posted are impressive but they are too small for what I would get.

Check out DIECAST DIRECT. Plenty of eye candy.

Thanks RJ!
Ordered a 1948 ACF Brill. Our first coach. Never saw that before. No 1/50 th 4905 yet, but they have 1/87 4107's at least.

I stand corrected. I should brush up on my model railroading terms.
