This is pretty well made and high quality, well done. And I love the modern and retro aspects, the gauge sweep is really nice. Keep it up!
If I'm not mistaken, a certain company who manufactures vehicles with a large passenger capacity and is named after an avian who projects 470-nm light is one of the companies who seems to be particularly spicy about folks making digital versions of their vehicles. I seem to remember the Dansworth having to change it's original name because of this at some point? Wouldn't be surprised if that's why. They might also be looking to add a bit more content before throwing it up on the Repo? Either way this is super cool so far!
Yes, when the now-Dansworth first released, it was called the Bluebird TC-2000, and this was changed to Dansworth after several updates. Same goes for the Dansworth Type-C bus. Initially, it was the Bluebird American School Bus
