Papercraft B-Lines from Jason Vanderhill!
January 4, 2011
Happy new year everyone! As a late holiday treat, it’s my pleasure to present Jason Vanderhill‘s set of papercraft B-Lines, for you to print and make at home!
I’ve folded the 99 B-Line in its latest livery above, but Jason has kindly made many models for you to choose from:
- The 99 B-Line in its latest livery: grey, blue, yellow
- The 99 B-Line in blue, white, and yellow livery
- A specially branded red, blue, and white 99 B-Line
- A 98 B-Line
- An “albino” (unpainted) 98 B-Line
- A 97 B-Line
Detailed instructions on how to fold the B-Lines, plus the story of their genesis, can be found in the caption of this model.
Jason, of course, is the proprietor of the wonderful Illustrated Vancouver blog, chronicling Vancouver in its illustrated form over the years. He’s also contributed many fine posts and DIY projects to the Buzzer blog, which you can see below:
- Papercraft Vancouver streetcars
- Working papercraft SkyTrains!
- Two guest posts on Vancouver transit and art: post 1 and post 2
- And once Jason brought by a plush SkyTrain from Bangkok’s system!
Many thanks again to Jason for sharing this project—hope it provides you with a spot of fun :)
The “specially branded red, blue, and white 99 B-Line” is in fact the original paint scheme when the original 21 D60LF coaches started service in 1998(?).
Prior to that the 99 B-Line operated with a mix of D60 high-floor artics and 40′ coaches.

Even though we can’t keep the actual buses forever, we’ll still have paper models! =D
I’ve noticed (for a while now) the usual 49 route D40LF buses are operated out of the Richmond depot rather than the Vancouver depot. I recently noticed there are D60LF buses being used on the 49 route now.
Weren’t the “albino” buses also called “ghost scheme” buses?
RTC has been operating the weekday 49 service for a couple of years now. VTC still operates the weekend/holiday 49 service.
That’s why you’ll invariably see Novas on the 49 on weekends/holidays.
How’d he fit the 175 little paper people in the paper B-Line?
Last351: Very carefully. They get very sad if you don’t usher them all in just right.
nice art! :-)
