3D model description

Don’t have a resin printer? You may buy the model at N'Tastic Scale Models:
https://www.coppermineminiatures.co.uk/product-page/foden-c-type-omnibus-solid-wheels


During research for modelling the Foden steam lorry I found also pictures of a bus version. After a while I decided to create this version to. Here it is. Hope someone has use of it for his model rail road layout or just for display. I would be happy to see your version!

For one bus you need to print:

1x Carriage (normal or with open driver door)
1x Roof
1x Wheels fore (straight, or turning left/right)
2x wheel aft
Optional driver (driving or entering)

All models sized for British n-scale (1:148), although it works also in bigger scale – as you can see from pictures (I printed a version in H0-scale for a friend). Conversion values:

Continental N-scale, 1:160 -> 92.5%
TT-gauge, 1:120 -> 123%
HO/H0-gauge, 1:87 -> 170%
OO/00-gauge, 1:76 -> 195%
S-gauge, 1:64 -> 231%
O-gauge, 1:48 -> 308%

For good order it should be mentioned, that this model, as the lorry one is using the great work made by Andy Scriven:
