    The emergency exit window levers are meant to allow the bottom of the window to swing away from the bus, hinged at the top. Pulling the lever while the bus, at highway speed, plays "connect the dots' with potholes on the 401 causes the whole window to fall out. Neither the driver or the teachers were pleased by this scientific discovery (maybe more science teachers should have been on school field trips...).

      As a kid, I always thought when you pulled the lever the window would fall out. Even when I started driving activity busses, I questioned that it wouldn't fall out since the hinges are hidden. The Thomas school buses are hinged on the side and open like a door

Myself I don't model in N Scale. Too small for my eyes as well. Though this video alone shows quite a superior looking product. Again best I've seen.
