I know Auto World just came out with their "Cool Bus", but I saw this at the local train shop in the discount bin for $4. It's a Life Like train assessory. I had to cut the seats off of the cab and then glue the cab onto the rear end. I used the front wheel posts that were already there (had to ream them out ever so slightly to accept a tjet axle) and added posts for the tjet chassis to hold on to. It's all plastic and really zips around the track.

Wow! That's a great way to convert a $4 accessory into a gnarley Tjet Bus!!! I don't mean to sound impolite but please show us the bottom view. :drunk::hat:

Ha! I just picked one of these up at a train show today. Thanks for saving me the trouble of having to take pics of it. It's really cool looking and makes for an easy conversion.

Cool School HoJo :thumbsup::thumbsup: I'm imagining it with a blower and deep dish on the back, to get that bus running on time. Looks like a 56 Ford maybe??? RM

I wanted to include an underside shot with my original post, but apparently I had reached my photo limit. I have since deleted some of my oldest photos. So I hope it lets me ad it now.
