Free Enterprise seem to have a batch of Gillig LF buses (29735-29740) used on Chicago Metra routes as well as the new Gillig BRT for the rebid Northwestern Campus services from 9/1/2011. I saw BRT 29729 last night implying they have at least 29723-29729. The Northwestern document I found said one of the BRT is hybrid for the Ryan Field, Evanston to Chicago Campus Shuttle.

Anyone have any idea where the Gillig Low Floors came from - I assume they are not new?

I wouldn't, since the BRT models are not that prevalent (RGRTA said they cost more) and certainly not near their 12 year service lives.

Looking at novabus.com, I didn't see anything on the SEPTA rumor.

However, you can purchase a scale model Nova from them for $79.95.

No indication that you can get them in CTA colors.

I saw it too. I'm wanting to purchase one of those.

$80 for a 1/50 scale model is a lot.... maybe for a 1/43 or a 1/24 scale. I might bite if it was $40-$50.
