More photos from David Knight...
A 1947 GM PD3751 Silversides Greyhound bus! This is a nice vintage Greyhound bus by IXO. It looks pretty realistic in the snow.
“It’s such a comfort to take the bus, and leave the driving to us...”

I like it! Here's an older one in cast iron that you might enjoy.
This piece is original except for replacement tires (original specifications)

A couple more Greyhounds, both from Tootsietoys. Enjoy!

David, wow!! You have quite an eclectic collection of models. I continue to be intrigued by your pictures. Have you ever though about writing a book about your collection?

Thanks for your good words, Kenspear. Old toy collections are fun, but mine is not nearly as old or as extensive as many collectors have. I just enjoy mine alongside my 1:43 models. And my little writings that accompany my pictures satisfy my writing urges.
Nice Tootsie bus, Karl. The axle placement on the front fender extensions is the give-away to the later production, as are the black wheels. Good find!

@d-m-holcombe I love the Tootsie Toy's baroque streamlining - with its front and back wheel covers.
