FAGEOL-TWIN COACH 58DW "SUPER TWIN"

Hi There!

This is my concept attempt on the Fageol "Super-twin" 58DW
“Twin Coach Company, Kent, Ohio

“Kent, Ohio, June 15—The largest, capacity passenger vehicle for public carrier service, without the use of tracks, has been announced this month by Frank R. and William B. Fageol, President and Vice President, respectively, of the Twin Coach Company of this city. The vehicle seats 58 passengers on a single deck, and will transport readily, a passenger load of 120, including standees. The unit is designed to operate as an electric trolley coach or by Diesel-electric propulsion. The vehicle has four axles, eight wheels and bears its lead on 12 tires, the four center wheels taking dual rubber equipment. It weighs 27,500 pounds and is known as the Super-Twin.



“Twin seemed to be ahead of its time, and was an innovator in many ways. Curiously, a Twin Coach Model 58-DW “Super Twin” artic demonstrator was tested by BOT on certain Brooklyn routes in late 1947. The 60-foot unit also had dual engines. The BOT elected not to purchase the big bus, and it was returned to Twin unsold.”



I have also made some minor visual changes, especially the front window which looked ugly irl

- Front and rear axle steering+
- Articulated scheme (only vertical axle)
- Good suspension
- 44 seats
- very MP friendly (7-8 grids in total)
I hope you will like it!
