Tomytec - Painted & Anything Model Bus Related

Great idea! It's just like the same basis of driving a long vehicle like that articulated bus or a trailer, turn out left first and then turn right! Clever!

I messed with the same idea of wide turns with the faller bus to make it around normal right angle regular corners on my Ttrak streetcar modules. Worked well to get them around corners, this was pre tomytec road, ht running fallen wire.

I always wonder why these bus decals, commonly only sold in hobby shops in Japan, are so sought after and expensive:

I cant find them anywhere else on online retail for us to purchase, and we could never win the Japanese on Yahoo Auctions... This would surely be of great use to the empty white shell buses (that came with the bus cases) we have and especially for those who suck big time in painting like myself...

We have a few number of articulated buses running here in Sillypore, but it's nice to see them in Nankai livery!

Tomytec is releasing the Nankai Shuttle, which is a really nice painted bus!

Perfect!

 

P.s. I find myself stepping into the HO region just for these 1/80 buses...

 

First the Ibaraki Girls & Panzer;

Then come the Keisei Oideyo! Katsushika Kochikame bus:

Followed by their counterparts:

Then the Kotoden bus:

Then this Nankai shuttle bus...

 

Bad news...

Oh dear, that first one is very highly sought after now... It probably costs a lot more, but that's one for sale now: https://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/h266987095

 

It's not pink though, only the 1/80 ones are pink....

http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10266489

 

Being long sold out, you could also consider the Keisei Oideyo! Katsushika Kochikame bus which is also pink, but still available...

Ami has them cheaper on sale: http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?gcode=RAIL-21932&page=top%2Fsearch%2Flist%3Fs_keywords%3Dbus+collection+1%2F80%24pagemax%3D40%24getcnt%3D0%24pagecnt%3D1

A big Moving Bus layout with lots of buses on the go, a steep hill and a large terminal.

This is so nice! Thanks for sharing!

 

Gotta love that Toei bus terminal! Something to try to reach building! Those inclines and declines are perfect too... boy there are just so many possibilities with self-made bus tracks!

 

Those lighted traffic signals looks great too!

Sammy, I was thinking of you when I came across this video. Glad you enjoyed it.

Wow is that town well served by bus service or what!

 

Nice modeling and shows the maneuverability of the busses.

Wow, but what no ladders or streams of water or helecopter rescues?!

 

Yeah probably cut up faller mechs and also added some leds as well. They can be adapted to many trucks easily as the battery and such can fit in smaller spaces along with the steering mech.

Hey I outta try that pretty soon! But risk damaging the buses in the process... I think i'll pass...

 

Looks pretty nice all nicely stacked up though ~

 

He does have a fairly large fleet of Toei buses, and quite a number of repeats from Bus 11... He must have gotten quite a lot of bus 11 boxes!

I would use the bus 14 coaches as the base for the pyramid as they are much larger in size...
