On the last day of Feb (yesterday) i bought a new bus model
- the Mercedes Benz Travego (O580). The Mercedes Benz Travego
RHD is a high-deck luxury touring coach that was the
newest addition to their coach family in 2006.
The Travego has 3 lengths available.
This model is a Travego 12.14m version from Dickie -Spielzeug.
In terms of accuracy and details, this model is a win for SGD$17.95
from Toys 'R' Us Paragon. I literally stumbled across this model
when i was browsing through the model cars and MAN fire
trucks while waiting to go church.
(pardon for the lighting issues and weird
background -> my desk)
"quotes and extra information on the Travego Luxury
Coach-> http://www.theautochannel.com/news/2006/07/05/013776.html 
"
The Travego - "masculine and progressive in
appearance"..erm nope not the Gundam Virtue behind
>.<
Doors open (main door, luggage compartment and rear door)
The Mercedes Benz logo at the top, with the Travego badge on the
left, emphasising "the typical Mercedes-Benz dynamism with its
enlarged Mercedes star."
The environmentally friendly Euro IV with "extremely
low-emission and economical Euro 4 engines featuring the new
BlueTec diesel technology based on SCR."
Another storage compartment for luggages.
The Travego's front - " the "face" of the coach below
the familiar deep and inviting windscreen is now more
sculpted, and the new front panel with air intake presents a
three-dimensional appearance, has a curved upper edge and is
visually more distinctive. All this, together the Mercedes
star proudly displayed on a sculpted plinth, makes the
front-end design reminiscent of a Mercedes-Benz passenger
car"
Sweet replica detail of the front, including the Mercedes badge
and Travego badge.
"A powerful roof-mounted air conditioning system. The
most powerful of the systems available now has a
maximum cooling capacity of 39 kW"
Extra sweet detail - a spare tyre!
The Travego O580 and the Citaro O530
Packaging
You can take out the roof aircon panel and view the
interior..but so far im unable to take it out, and fearing a
possibility i may damage the model.
Comparison to the Travego coach on the roads (images from
wikipedia common)
some additional notes
Yep. A very nice Mercedes Benz bus model .
Recommended even though the packaging says it is a "toy". It's a
coach model in disguise!
i recently also bought this.the black coloured one
