New Flyer XD60

A split windscreen: two panes with a post in the middle.

A dark charcoal mask surrounds the windscreen and forms the centre post.

The sign above the windscreen. The model shows "49 UBC" in amber letters; the actual wording on the real buses has not been checked.

Amber marker lights on the front edge of the roof: one on each side and one in the middle.

The headlights on each side above the bumper.

A yellow band across the front, continuing into the yellow line on the sides.

The black strip at the bottom of the front.

The driver's side, which the default camera sees. A small driver's window is followed by passenger windows.

The double glass door on the kerb (right) side, ahead of the front axle. Its position was read from the kerb-side photo (XDE60-1).

The double glass door on the kerb side between the front axle and the joint.

A black band surrounds the windows, with a thin dark-grey strip above it.

A yellow line under the windows, dipping towards the front where it meets the front band.

The grey lower body starting behind the front wheel; the curve was read from photographs.

The real tyres are 1 m across with their centres 0.5 m above the road. The model body starts 0.3 m above the road, so the lower half of each wheel falls outside it. The model draws only the upper half as a recess; the rolling wheels are those of the toy chassis.

The real bus is an 18.5 m articulated vehicle, split here over two toy chassis. The scale follows the width (2.59 m = 40 mm, 15.44 mm per metre), so the two halves together are about 290 mm against 286 mm at true scale. This front half covers the cab, the front doors and the middle axle, about 142 mm long. Its 46 mm height sits between the real diesel and non-diesel heights.

A short (3.5 mm) concertina stub on the back end, facing the rear body. The real gap between the two halves is unknown and the model assumes 1 mm. Whether the stubs collide on toy-track curves has not been checked.

The "front" face of this body is the bellows end, facing the front half. It carries a short (3.5 mm) concertina stub. The real gap is unknown and the model assumes 1 mm. Whether the stubs collide on toy-track curves has not been checked.

A tall red lamp on each rear corner, placed above the chassis claw holes of the print version of the print version (up to 7.7 mm).

An amber lamp sits above each red one. It is meant as a turn signal, but its role was not checked against a photograph.

Small red marker lights on the rear edge of the roof, one on each side.

A dark grille in the middle of the rear. This end has no rear window because the engine is here.

The black strip at the bottom of the rear.

The driver's-side windows, which the default camera sees.

The double glass door on the kerb (right) side, just behind the joint. Its position was read from the kerb-side photo (XDE60-1).

A black band surrounds the windows and ends before the engine bay.

A dark panel on the side at the rear end, where the window band stops.

Five thin black slots in the dark panel. Five is the model's count; the real number has not been checked.

A yellow line under the windows.

On the rear half the lower body is grey along its whole length, with a thin blue band above it.

The wheel of the rear drive axle. The lower half falls outside the body, so the model draws only the upper half as a recess; the rolling wheels belong to the toy chassis.

Three transverse grooves on the roof meant as panel seams; their positions have not been checked against a photograph.

The real bus is an 18.5 m articulated vehicle, split here over two toy chassis. The scale follows the width (2.59 m = 40 mm, 15.44 mm per metre), so the two halves together are about 290 mm against 286 mm at true scale. This rear half covers the third door, the drive axle and the engine end, about 140 mm long; the chassis length does not allow it to be shorter.
