Thanks John, I caught myself singing along with the organ music. Love those buses, too!

Thank you David.......when I heard that version of Ricky Nelson`s classic tune,it reminded me of the old indoor skating rinks

great pic John. I love those old Bedford buses. Sold worldwide including here in Australia. Along with the double deckers there are other great old English buses Sunstar could have done....ah well.

@geoff-jowett .......Thanks Geoff....one of these days,I`d like to get a hold of one of those two level jobs with the roofless upper.....as you say,the old English busses are very handsome pieces......finding them in 1/24 is another issue altogether

my favorite Bedford Coach scene is this one....after coming in for a holiday dinner/long weekend,Laura boards the bus back to Mom`s place in Boca......her sister and brother-in-law see Laura off at the bus stop and ex-husband Eddie looks on from afar

 yeh good stuff John, love pic 2 with the reluctant kid. They are great models. Just got my London Royal Blue version out. Tremendous detail, hadn't noticed the roof racks or individual window winders before.
