GO Transit operated New Look buses for early commuter feeder service from the GO rail stations to suburban Toronto destinations. Multiple generations existed: the 2nd-generation (~1960s) and 4th-generation (~1970s+) rear engine doors are the most visually distinctive variants.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScale:\u003c\/strong\u003e HO \/ 1:87\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrototype:\u003c\/strong\u003e GMC New Look transit bus (\"Fishbowl\", 1959–1986)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOperator:\u003c\/strong\u003e GO Transit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLivery:\u003c\/strong\u003e GO Transit late scheme (white with green and blue accents)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRoad number:\u003c\/strong\u003e #1033\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRapido detail features (Deluxe):\u003c\/strong\u003e 3D-scanned from a real New Look bus, era-correct rear engine door (2nd- or 4th-generation style), optional left-side emergency exit + single- or dual-stream rear doors, \u003cstrong\u003efull interior\u003c\/strong\u003e with separate bench seats and grooved flooring, etched-metal interior stanchions, stamped-metal handrails, separate farebox and steering wheel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRapido SKU:\u003c\/strong\u003e 753109\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTip:\u003c\/strong\u003e The Deluxe trim includes the interior detail kit, which makes a real difference under any layout lighting.
