Soooooo....them Xcelsiors at Casey Stengel, quite a bunch of them are out of service for very dubious reasons.

 

No wonder they kept the 2 Orion Vs.

Not surprised at all.

I blame components that were made in China.

So there's 2 Q38's bunching. Those two are also Hybrids. Who would've thought I would catch that today?

3578, 3596. Both are still running on the Q-38 headed towards the Rego Park terminus as we speak.

Sorry folks, please disregard my previous post about 9363. It is still at LGA. And speaking of 1998 Nova RTSs......9401 QV to LGA. I'm not sure if these are at LGA for repair work or for actual service.

Knowing LGA briefly had 5000's during the summer back in 2013, it's possible they're there for revenue service. Could be wrong though.

Worth noting that 7438 hit service on the Q23 earlier today.

Even with the new buses, LGA is still short on buses, some of their RTS's are either getting scrapped or pushed to JFK..

7439, 7445 new to LGA.

And so is 7440

7238 is at LGA for training. 7222, 7233 were at LGA as well but those 2 are now at GA.

Saw 7238 doing driver training along Astoria Blvd 2 hours ago between 103rd st and 99th St

If LGA were to wind up with XD40's, wouldn't it be hell for LGA's mechanics to having to maintain another bus model? Considering they already deal with MCI's, Gen II+'s, NG's and RTS's to begin with. And besides, where would they turn to when they need XD40 parts since pretty much every other XD40 depot are all Brooklyn Division (unless certain parts are cross-compatible from CP's C40LF's)...

I still have a feeling LGA may not get them..

Never had bus time installed to begin with lol

7380,7330,7178,7331,7328,7332

7369,7329 are at JFK vendor

LaGuardia has yet to receive Xcelsiors.

Not for nothing, but should they actually receive their XD's, I highly doubt they'll stick around for long unless they can actually survive LG to begin with.

Wow not a word about LGAs XDs not a word about any training buses going to LGA and I'm being VERY PATIENT........Hmmmm

Although it won't be guaranteed that LGA may even get them at all with the MTA changing their minds on the last minute.

Personally I think BP / JFK needs them more than LGA does but we'll see what happens.

7255 Q-58 if anyone wants to catch it.

It is with our deepest regrets that Phantom909 aka Joe (he was a member on this forum) has passed away last night.

He was a BVE/openBVE pioneer and a legend dating back from the early days.

His greatest works included the to Times Square and the to Lefferts Boulevard, and aided content developers with the materials needed (route skeletons, etc.)

Without his efforts, we wouldn't have all these realistic and accurate routes we have today (and those that are works in progress).

We would like to thank him for fostering the community of developers, and creating new ones

May he rest in peace and his legacy passed on to future generations to come.

The issue with the Orion V model is because it's a bit too complex and rather complicated to split the parts.

Also a nightmare to repaint.

Good move on restarting the model from scratch though. Just make sure it's not made too complicated to repaint and not that complicated to split the parts.

Try not to have TOO many polygons.

I'm almost done with the 6v92TA script and halfway done with the Series 50 (and 50G) scripts.

 

 

I'm surprised new flyer won as opposed to nova. Was hoping for LFS's at MTA bus

 

I wonder which BC depots are to get the 40' Xcelsior batch. As long as it's not LaGuardia I'll be more than happy.

 

 

 

Well you're feelings MIGHT get hurt because LaGuardia is suppose to get 25 or so of the 45. The rest COULD go to Eastchester since those Orions are on their last legs.

I honestly rather see the XD40's at FR/JFK and ECH. At least they would fare better over there than they would at LGA.

Someone done goofed at ECH...1306 which was supposed to be set for preservation wound up stripped.

Photo credit goes to KnightRider.

I thought about that, but the routes I have are all designed for BVE 2, and I'm not sure if they would work with a much more advanced version of the game.

It's backwards compatible.

Wow on the ttmg roster GA has 647 as a museum bus, interesting.

Trevor Logan stated months back that once #1306 retired from passenger service, it would be preserved as #647.

Is this database freely available online, or does on need to know sources?

Latter

Not sure why 6626 would be following the Q58's path towards flushing..isn't that an ENY bus? (At least the depot stickers indicate that)

If it was a depot move then never mind.

Too bad the Orion V ex bees are not retired...

Not like there's any hype for them, if anything, they're mostly forgotten...

Once the SBS is on the M60, the Orion V CNG 9849 from CP is gone as the local is C40LFs just like SC

One particular operator takes out that one particular bus on a particular route on a particular time of day. That's why it's rarely seen but the tank's expiration date is just days away...

Every time someone says it's the last day they keep running. Wait till tomorrow before you jump to conclusions...

The tanks expiration date is just around the corner, around ___ __ 2014.

Yeah i'll let you fill in the blanks for yourself, not gonna be giving spoiler alerts lol.

LFX basically an LFS or LFSA with a BRT package

 

And the BRT package does what?

Google is your friend...
