CARLOS PINTO - Scenicruiser Bus

We're in trouble now. Couldn't resist, had to order one, along with another gem or two.

Ordered 2! I actually asked Carlos to pursue these about 6 months ago. I see he finally found a model.

 

I will be ordering several of these. I have been asking for these for a while. There was a Greyhound Bus service facility in my hometown. It operated next to a street running freight line. This is awesome news. Jim

 

He must have sold all of them. They are no longer on ebay. I have PM'd him. I want several of them. Jim

 

Pretty sure Carlos will produce more. I requested more of the 1940's-1950's cars and he obliged that request. Venture to say, he only listed so many on the Ebay ad, and it expires once he sells out. I am sure a new listing will be up shortly.

 

That is what I'm hoping, Lance. Do you know if it has decals? Do you know where to get them if it doesn't? Jim

 

Jim,
Carlos will probably not provide decals. Now, I recall something about decals on this forum, or another for this very same bus. I need to research where I saw that, as I'll be needing decals as well. Although, someone on this forum may have info.

 

Carlos has relisted this with four available.

Thanks, Mitch.
I have ordered three. There is still one left. Jim

 

I wrote Carlos and told him how marvelous the GMC bus is, and also the automobile carrier. Already ordered one of his scenicruisers. Also suggested that if he's looking forward to a next project that the Flxible Clipper would be fun in Z. Athearn did one in N, but no one that I know of in Z.

 

Thanks for the heads up Mitch…

 

Hi, Mitch
I have two of each of Carlos' GMC buses as well as auto transports. I have quite a collection of his work. Jim

 

I have one by Stony Smith and had João Marrafa de Carvalho paint it for me (he also painted the Hess truck in the photo for me)

They look great, John. Where did you get the decals? Jim

 

The JMC Flxibles look great, are they (or unpainted ones) available for purchase?

 

Jim,

I’m not sure where Joao got the decals from, sorry.

John

 

They are my own production.

 

I offer both, painted and unpainted.

 

Heads up, but I was just informed by Carlos Pinto that the Greyhound Scenicruisers he sells will now come with the decals!!!!! He is in receipt of those as we speak. He has informed me that those who bought early versions that did not come with the decals, will have them mailed to the purchaser.

It is now listed on eBay with the decals in the photos.
