I bought this Scenicruiser last weekend at a local show. It was new in the box, but I gave it some fresh air. :p

It's a CORGI Tone.

Sorry I didn't mention it in my first post.

Dear All:

Originally, this was a Lledo casting, made as a Greyhound and in other liveries. Is in 1/87 scale, but is made as a 35-footer, a non-realistic fact. GM lobbied the Transportation Department with this bus to bring 40-footers to the road, and the Scenicruiser was made in 40 foot lenghts only. Otherwise, yes, is a fantastic model and the first ready to run model in HO (there are others, but in kit form).

Thanks for the information stanmix. :wave: It's nice when you can learn about about a model that you have.

I put the Scenicruiser back in the box so it would be easy to identify at a toy show.

Here's the bottom of the box. I guess it was released in 2001.

Here's a pic of a 1/87 scale truck with the Scenicruiser.

Here are the Lledo scenicruisers

The two Greyhounds have a roof variation. One is smooth and one is ridged.
