  1. How are run boxes on MTA Buses (either or, doesn't matter which division) controlled? Is it via a small panel on the driver console, or at the box with dials & knobs (or something else)?

      Dials and knobs or for the majority of buses. For the 2014-16 Prevosts, its controlled like the electronic signage

  2. sooooooooooooo where's that pilot XN60 gone? :huh:

  3. How can I get a thread deleted?

      You can always inbox one of us mods.

       

      I already deleted your duped topic btw.

  4. ¿que te gusta comer?

  5. There are so many detailed rosters of the MTA, but none of retired buses.

      There's one on the forums of scrapped buses: http://www.nyctransitforums.com/forums/topic/47568-mta-bus-operations-scrapped-equipment-list/page-1

       

      Unless you mean one with all the retired buses throughout the fleet history. There's one on Wikipedia right here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retired_MTA_Regional_Bus_Operations_bus_fleet

  6. Where are all these kid-like transit fans people talk about?

  7. Anyone have a video ride on 3563?

      Never mind..found some.

  8. Thanks for the info!

  9. I wonder if it's difficult driving an MCI in NYC

      Like my uncle used to say when driving an MCI: Don't start your left or right turns until you get the nose of the bus on the second lane of the street you're turning on. He included parking lanes for the purpose of this discussion.

      Once you get past the turns and you don't go where you shouldn't, it's not too hard driving an MCI in the city.

      It's not hard. You just have to be very conscious of what's around your bus, especially through your turns.

  10. Did a lot this past year, life-wise...last year around this time, I was a scrub going to the scrubby run-down (but somewhat new) Wal-Mart...now grown folk throw money at me for buses (If you knew who I was, you'd know exactly what I was talking about), and I take HD pics.

  11. Next question: Does anyone know of a video of a 2nd Gen LFS with a Cummins ISL And Allison B-400R?

  12. I wonder how much one has to shell out to get a camera that performs well at night

      Not even 350. A bridge camera or a decent point and shoot can perform well at night. It's not about the camera, it's how you use it.

      Exactly. If you can't take good photos, the most expensive camera in the world won't save you...

      Thanks for the wisdom

  13. I just realized I've been here a year. Thrn when I think about ut, it doesn't seem like long

      That would indeed be interesting...except for the fact that I have wn A in that class. The teacher just gets on my nerves a lot.

      So you hate the teacher not the class. haha As I hate my OS professor.

    4. NewFlyer504

      That class,and Civics. The Civics teacher always has coffee in the morning. Kills everyone's mood when we enter there x_x

  15. Is it bad I haven't had a girlfriend yet?

      lol... Don't worry, when it's meant to happen it'll happen, and it's great. You'll hang out all of the time. There's also female friends which are great, as they introduce you to other chicks. I have a chick that I hang out with from time to time.

      OK. Thanks for the insightful info, guys.

      When it happens it happens.

  16. Keeping that in mind as well. As far as I know, we'll be able to go anywhere, since we'll have the whole day.
  17. OK @BM5 Thanks for the info. I'll have to go hunting then. @VG8 Yep. Although, I don't imagine one will do anything. They'll cut their losses at somepoint @MysteriousBtrain And I'll double-check after I post this, but all those are in the Bronx, with the exception of CS(Queens), right?
  18. What's the easiest depot to get into, in all of the boroughs? My family is planning to go to NYC on Labor Day, and I need some media for a project, so yeah.
  19. Update on the Orion VII. There was a persistent issue with the glass, so I started over in Blender. There's also a video. If you'd like to see it, search OMSI Orion VII NG on YouTube. More updates to come. Hopefully not too sporadic though:
