@ Georg snr - Wow, good job!

Do you remember the different colour coded buses? They had these "colored sunscreens" above the front windows to indicate which route they took. Like Orange would go past the store, for instance, and the green to a different part of town?

No Bertie, i only rember the main coulours, that was blue in my time.

When i arrived they had that luxury coach Mercedes, looked good and was comfortable.

We also took a trip to Lüderitz with that. Good drive....

One of Mikes Pics also has the later models

Great Pics i´d say

Very good oldman.
do you think you could get nr. 10347 fixed up to. The bus looks familiar to me. Maybe I'd see it better then.

Excellent, we have an artist!

georgswa (Georg Ruf) (RIP) · June 17, 2008, 03:21:38 PM

No artist but a hard working member of the forum trying to participate

Hope i qualify now as spray painter for CDM LOL

I think the coulors make it more interesting, this one was a lot of experimenting

I have done private B/W to coulour, took me up to a days work, well worth it on old sentimental stuff

Brilliant stuff Georg...Just brilliant!

Thanks hey!
If I see right, this was one of the buses running in the 70s. If it's the one I believe it to be, it was my favorite. I think we had the red route to our place.

By the way. It wasn't blue nor green....
