Now HERE is a bus for ya, usually referred to as "Big Fast and Ugly", an MCI
MC6, has a V12 Diesel and was illegal to operate in a number of states so
some of them were sent up to Greyhound Canada Ops:

I have a couple Scenicruiser diecast models, love those things. Original
Scenicruiser had 2 side by side V6 Diesels coupled with a fluid drive
coupling, would only do about 45mph on one engine though. Got reengined to a
V8 in the early 60s.
