Transport NSW CB60+CB80

Post by C130 »

Here are the latest models to exit the C130 Workshop.
They are painted in a mock up of the Transport NSW livery to show what hopefully soon will be common place.

Very, very close. Couple of pointers:
1. Remove the side Busways logo from the rear of the bus and the Transport NSW logo from the side of the bus.
2. Add a small NSW crest next to the door and beneath the windows saying "Operated by Busways on behalf on the NSW Government" over 3 lines in navy text.
3. Start the light blue for the side of the bus so the 45 degree angle lines up with the rear axle centre, it looks like you have had your blue section go too far from the rear.
4. Put the Busways fleet numbers in the same place as the STA ones and add a fleet number for both buses on the sides at the rear, below the window line.

Thanks for that.
1. I thought I was clutching at straws for that aspect.
2. So the crest will be where it is now, but with the operated by info, or will it be under the 2nd wheel window?
3. Will the angle of the blue above the rear wheel be visable on the actual bus?
4. Will I have to remove the reflective strips on the rear bumper, or make the fleet # work around them. If so, will the # be above or below the strips?

2. On the STA bus, the NSW crest as the "operator logo" is in the correct place. For Busways, the Busways logo will have to move up to the same place you put the NSW crest on the STA bus. The small crest with "operated by" info will go just below the wheelchair access sticker on the STA bus, but on the Busways bus I'm not so sure, perhaps it will be on the black, but with white text.
3. The angle shouldn't be seen, the windows should hide it in all cases.
4. Depends how strictly Busways or the painter/decaler follow the plans. If it was to the letter, the reflective strips would be removed.

I must have moved the files in the folder I keep them, I'll have a look and update the original post accordingly.
