What an awesome relic! The vehicle's design is attractive, and the natural "weathering effects" are very photogenic.
Visit my website to see pics of the rugged and rocky In-ko-pah Railroad!

And it looks like it's a 'runner' with those fresh tire tracks in the snow.

The bus in the photos would make a terrific subject for a model. Do you suppose the interior is from a different bus?.... -- Russ

I don't mean to hijack the thread, but this reminded me of one of my favorite vintage busses:



Used in Alaska to reach the Kennicott town site in 1939 after RR service was discontinued. Beautifully restored.

Guys, I knew it was a different bus but my sarcasm didn't translate to the written word.

Chuck, that bus doesn't seem to match your usual weathering standards ....

That guy is a decent modeler. No wonder they once named a bank after him. -- Russ

Bill, thanks.

Craig, yes it is a kit, made by Arii .......... If you Google or EBay  1/32 scale Bonneted Bus various versions should appear. They are never cheap and as I think it is now out of production price will only go higher
