They look pretty nice - only thing I don't care for is the huge gap around the destination thingy:

You have to remember the photo is 10 to 20 times actual size... the gap is probably no worse then Atlas numberboards...

Those destination signs are reversible , and the fit looks fine from normal viewing distances of 1 foot .

So who will be the first to bash a set of doors midway down the side to make a city bus version?  That's a great looking model, by the way.

I would take some gloss medium and fill the gaps in the signboard.  I don't think the prototype signs ever sat straight or level anyway!

In a layout environment, I would think it would be very unlikely that somebody would single out a single scnery item just to note a gap around the signboard on an N scale bus. If they do, my suggestion would be to have them thrown out by the seat of their miserable pants.

We made it easier for ya' Mark, we're all out of feathers! ;D

You are right, the gap is in the pic, but in the context of an N scale model, I guess I would not consider that a flaw.

Hmmm.  I think the flanges are too big on the wheels though, which makes them crap . . .  ;) :P
