Fantastic job !! Loved the Orange & Blacks, I rode them everyday for 8 years when I worked in NYC. I especially liked to ride those old Macks- bit of a rough ride but they had the pep of a sports car.

I found your site by accident while I was looking for pictures of Eagle Model 10. (Dallas Area Rapid Transit) DART used them for express buses in the late 80s and early 90s. What I found was WOW! I thought I'd died and gone to heaven. A wonderful site. Thanks for sharing it with us.

as a former collector of toy buses I'm truly amazed buy these pieces. If I could I'd buy them all or at least a copy of each. The companies took me back to my childhood days of traveling out of NYC! Anything for sale/trade? :)

I have been a big fan of the fishbowl, I have looked for any trailways system that used these buses! I knew that carolina trailways and southern rail ran them out of
norfolk to virginia beach on commuters runs. Then I found this cite with Blue Ridge fishbowl pictures, out standing, you did a great job! Maybe I'll check later on ordering some of those different models from you, it you sell them. Once, again great job!

Dave, That Orange and Black you just added is one fine looking coach. Brings back fond memories of a good looking North Jersey bus line. Sure wish we had these companies still running today.

Hey! What a beautiful collection!!! I used to ride on some of those buses in Cuba where they still work. Unbelievable right? Looking at some of those perfect models was like going back in time. Keep up the great job!!!

I Like the old GMC'S from the late 50's. Started my Bus Driving Career behind the wheel of one of them. Just retired after 33 yrs. and seen many changes in make & model.

Dave, That new B&A 4106 is a great addition to your fleet. Those colors really make it a stand out piece. I see it parked in front of the Blue Ridge Trailways garage. That turned out just great. Keep up the good work. Michael A.

I was just told about your site. Being a bus driver for the Red And Tan Lines for over 30 years, seeing those buses brought back many good memories. Keep up the great work

Dave,
Graet collection of Bus models. I spoke with you at Spring Fing about Eagle you had and if it was made of die cast metal. Well Just wanted to let you know I logged in and its great. I myself am a great fan of GM coaches. Prefer 4903-4905's etc and also Suburban Fishbowls. Would love to see some from Harran Transportation when they were in Merrick,LI . Also lets not forget Brown's Limousine Service - they had a garage on the fringe of JFK Airport, used to run airline flt crews to hotels and back to JFK. They had nice 4104-4106 ex Greyhounds they kept in good condition. They eventually purchased MCI MC-7 Coaches I believe in 1971-72. Campus Coach also had sweet 4106 and 4903-4905 coaches, same as Shortline.

Outstanding job on the Carey Transportation bus! Many times I shared the Queens -Midtown tunnel with them back and forth from Manhattan to Idlewild/Kennedy airport, in the 1960's.Three things I distinctly remember:Yes, their buses were always immaculate./ All the Carey buses I ever saw had the round windowless back to the body. / The side windows to the buses were always a 'bright emerald green' tint. Thank You.

Hi,
I just spotted your site and love it. I recently picked up three Corgi Fishbowls in County Galway while visiting there, D.C Transit Washington, San Diego Transit and New York City Transit (Green & Silver). All boxed and for £40 sterling. I am a collector as are all us Irish & Brits of 1/72nd scale and I own about 350 modela mainly UK & Ireland...we have less space than you chaps over here......!
My fleet is varied but I operate Dublin Bus, Bus Eireann Ulsterbus and London Transport all mainline manufacturers, Corgi, EFE, Creative Master (the best), Britbus, ABC and others. I also have a collection of buses that operate in Hong Kong, also British designed with the tropics in mind. I have a U.S collector friend in Mount Holly N.J also... Great site and greetings from Dublin, Ireland.
Looks like I will start collecting GM Fishbowls now and I am afet a Toronto TTC Fishbowl by Corgi...any ideas ?

Dave, I see you reshot quite a few of your Trailways coaches. The new pictures with better lighting make your already great coaches look even better. Great work with the camera.
