Custom Model Bus Description, Bus Collector Value ($US) and Notes...
Twin Coach's last gasp of breath before being absorbed by Flxible was the 52 series.
Built to amazing accuracy by skilled old world craftsmen, The St. Petersburg team leaves nothing to chance o this model bus. Every small detail is captured as evidenced by the photos above. Model bus collectors can even customize coach numbers and destination signs.
Such attention to detail does carry a large price tag, but for the serious model bus collector there is no finer representation of this Chicago Transit bus that cruised the streets of Chicagoland during the 1950s and 60s.
Visit St. Petersburg Tram Collection for info on how to buy this model bus.

Oh do I remember these buses! This line ran out of the Forest Glen Garage the same as the #56 Milwaukee. I've ridden these many times. I hope someone can produce these in HO or N and even a less expensive model in "O". As a kid I always wondered why nobody ever made a plastic bus kit like they did cars.
I've seen these models in a local hobby shop, but the price was a little high. They are superb models, though.
