Reminds me of the RT in The Untouchables. .gif ":)") /vehicle_14287-AEC-RT-1950.html I think there were double-deckers in the US once upon a time, but I suppose that none of them survives. -- Last edit: 2007-10-07 13:24:54 |

Double decker buses were indeed manufactured in the US. http://www.transitmuseumeducation.org/bus100.html Surviving restored museum exhibit that was in service to 1953. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fifth_Avenue_Bus_Company -- Last edit: 2007-10-07 14:19:32 |

Thanks for those links. I'd tried to search on Google for American double-deckers, but coudn't find anything. |

.... Googling results mostly in all the tourist double deckers imported from the UK. .gif ";)") Probably just as many today in New York (and other cities) as in the 1930s-1950s. |

That's what I mean; I couldn't find anything about double-deckers made in the US. |

If the entrance hadn't been on the wrong side they might almost have got away with it ...   |

Reverse the film! I think it's safe to assert that no Routemasters were operating in Berlin immediately postwar. |

"AEC RM Routemaster" only brings up two entries. The rest (three pages' worth) are listed as "AEC Routemaster". /vehicles.php?make=AEC&model=Routemaster |

All these groups of letter before "Routemaster" name are usefull and exact since they determine différents versions of this famous serie of AEC Bus. For instance: RM Routemaster (normal chassis - 64 seats) RML Routemaster (long chassis - 72 seats) RCL Routemaster (Long chassis- Comfort Version) etc... |

Maybe we could enter all the Routemasters as AEC Routemaster RM, RML ...instead of AEC RM Routemaster..etc... |
