The spacing of the treads on the platform, the boards around the top deck- far too good for such a brief cameo. It would have been far easier to borrow the real one and distress it, than to have got a plywood mock up that accurate. Notice it is sitting level unlike the other wrecks. There are also boxes piled up so you can't see the wheels. This is the museum bus dressed up carefully. -- Last edit: 2020-05-26 21:34:32
