    Is there a way to configure the T-Series to end up as a bus of some kind? I figured it's got the possiblity, don't you think?

    Good idea. It would honestly be a lot better just to have a separate vehicle, it would look quite weird to have a T Series bus.

    I hoped to have a bus that has the engine at the back not at the front. I just thought it would save "space" and keep things clean having just the the ability modify the T series into a bus of some kind.

    It is a good idea, but there is one problem: The T-series is a Class 8 heavy truck. School buses are usually based on class 6 or class 7 medium trucks. A bus based on the T-series would be much heavier and have a much stronger frame than a real school bus. Height would also be an issue - the hood on the T-series is high enough to cover most of the windshield on an average school bus, and rectifying that problem by mounting the bus body higher would require an awkwardly long set of stairs at the front door.

    Personally, I'd rather wait for a medium truck to enter the game, or try for a short bus based on the H-series.

    -Edit-

    Sorry, I hadn't realized that I'd been ninja'd. If you're thinking of a bus with a rear-engine layout, the T-series frame and axles would work very well for a greyhound-style highway bus. Some coding would be nessecary for the rear steering axle, but it's well within the range of doable. If an official highway bus is added, I'd hope for one that combined the three-axle setup of mid-eighties MCI buses with the stepped roof of the GM "Buffalo" bus:

    Thanks. It's my own design. Unfortunately, I can't currently predict a release date.

    Tseries is a long nose truck and too big to be a bus imo
    The long nose school bus mod is even smaller than Tseries!
