Love the sound of these late 60s and early 70s Cummins Gilligs and Crowns. Wish Thomas, Blue Bird and IC CE sounded exactly like this.

As you're waiting to pull onto the road, what was that pneumatic switch on your left? In Los Altos in the early 50s we had a Gillig fleet of 17 buses. Mine was probably a 1948-9 model rear-engine job (had the two-pane window in the rear, FI-RO front doors), and she was a creaky cranky, bus had a lot of hills to climb, sharp corners to turn, but nothing fazed our driver. (front in - rear out)

One of ripon unified buses was exact copy of this bus and you just can't find another engine that sounds like the Cummins
