In 1978, coinciding with an updated body design necessitated by federal school bus safety regulations, Thomas became a chassis manufacturer with the launch of the Saf-T-Liner EF and ER (EF=Engine Front, ER=Engine Rear).
In contrast, Blue Bird, then the largest school bus manufacturer in the United States, manufactured its own chassis (as did West Coast manufacturer Gillig). Thomas offered its transit-style buses on a wide variety of chassis in comparison to other manufacturers (changing between Dodge, Ford, GMC, International Harvester, and Volvo). As was the common practice during the era, production of the chassis was outsourced to another manufacturer. Prior to its reorganization as Thomas Built Buses in 1972, Thomas Car Works produced both front and rear-engined transit-style school buses to compete with other manufacturers. It can also be used to describe the Saf-T-Liner C2 or Saf-T-Liner FS-65, but they are not considered part of the Saf-T-Liner family.Ĭurrently, all versions of the Saf-T-Liner model line are produced in High Point, North Carolina. In addition to school bus applications, variations of the Saf-T-Liner have been produced as activity buses, specialty vehicles, and commercial/transit buses. Introduced in 1978, the Saf-T-Liner marked the transition to in-house chassis production by Thomas.
The Thomas Saf-T-Liner is the name of the transit-style (Type D) school bus product line produced by Thomas Built Buses. And changed the window layout, And also did Blue Bird Gaming's idea of putting a big window and have it further in like real life.Diesel: Cummins, Detroit, & Mercedes-Benz I been working nonstop on the interior, the reason it took about a week for a update is because its all 3d shapes that I'm putting together to make the interior since no one has made a body mod for the HDX, everything is custom, and I'm about done now and ill just be testing, I'm thinking of adding different variants so if you guys could give me some variant ideas that would be great, thinking of a activity bus variant.
It will have a diesel engine that may have custom engine sounds when I'm done. 2023 THOMAS HDX This is the 2023 Thomas HDX I'm making,
