Double-decker memories

In the mid-80s, as a school boy, I visited Bombay for the first time and was thrilled to ride the double-decker bus. Similar to the London buses, these indigenous red buses of the city's public transport (BEST) were iconic sights. This sketch is a celebration of all those childhood memories where double decker buses, railway locomotives and airplanes occupy a special place :)
