Rapido Releases Drawings of Upcoming MBTA GM New Look "Fishbowl" Bus

OK, OK... this isn't exactly a train related item... UNLESS you are into the history of trolleys, which DID use rails.  After all, many buses were called "trackless trolleys"!

I just have to add this info to the blog, because the product looks way too cool to skip over.

The Rapido website has many interesting photos and video regarding their upcoming HO scale General Motors "New Look" bus, and also of their own personal bus.

The MBTA version will come in three "road numbers", in two versions, Standard and Deluxe.  
Pre-orders are due May 8, 2017 for Fall 2017 delivery.
