Or a prop at an event location?

Am very close to the roll-over to *10,000,000* views, so I thought I’d bring a couple of photos back around from May 2010 when I first started on Flickr.

End of Christmas vacation and back to school today with all the little squirrely ones.

Of course Mr. Peanuts wants a front row seat, he is so excited to get to school!

I took these shots last year and forgot about them.

About time to update my school bus design.

It had been years since I had seen a school bus built by Superior on the road, and it had been maybe 46 years since I had been on one, so seeing and boarding this one was a treat.

My first and probably last attempt at type A school buses. I've never been a big fan of them and it was hard to stay motivated in the build process.

We arrived at out local pond to take the dogs for a walk this morning. This is what we found, there was about 8 school buses there and this one was on fire. They let me get as close as I wanted to this fire.

No one was hurt, all the kids were going on a field trip to the redwoods and stopped here for a break, Thank God this did not start on the freeway.

I have tons of pictures that I will be uploading over the next few days

My thanks to all of you who stop, look and comment. I will be sure to check out your photostream

Rare shot of a newly built bus and the bus that it's replacing...at least by number. 68-09 will be retired and I will re-use the wheels, rub rails, warning lights and a few other parts.

Yet another old model I've decided to revamp. I've replaced old parts, added proper LEGO windows, rebuilt the engine and interior, and made a host of other small improvements.

CUSD has purchased and is purchasing more new CEs to replace their 2012 CEs.

Time to dig into the vaults again and exhume some sights from the summer of 2015, when I journeyed through the US states of Illinois and Missouri and touched the northwest corner of Arkansas before turning back again!

Arkansas being the home of Ward, it's no surprise to find their products in use there (or formerly in use, as is the case with this bus). The specification is somewhat distinctive for its era, with quad crossover mirrors, visorless flashers, and no reflective tape.
