    Add New Gillig 4150 to Albany & 3011--LFS Nova to the Out of Service List, it's out back next to 9952.

    Well, add 4013H To Albany Garage & 4113 is in Schenectady garage, saw it yesterday in Schenectady. Some sort of swap going on.
  3. Autocar
    Add 4011H to the returned list [ 4010H-40111H & 4014H ] into the Albany Garage, wonder why ? Also, the Low Floor Nova [ # ? ] that was painted for Sheriff Craig Apple has disappeared from the Albany back yard. Any news on where it is or what it's original number was would be greatly appreciated.

    CDTA's Electric Bus has been painted in the Current Blue scheme. It has all sorts of zero emissions/electric bus decals on both sides.
  5. Autocar
    Add 4014 to the list of returned buses to Albany Garage. Wonder Why they have come to Albany from Schenectady ?
  6. Autocar
    Appears as if 4010H has returned to Albany Garage, have seen it on various routes over the last 10 days.

    I can now confirm that there is an Electric Bus running for CDTA. I did not see it's number or manufacturer's name as I saw it from interstate-90, but it does say Electric Bus on the top of engine compartment door and it was heading towards the Albany garage. Any additional information would be greatly appreciated.

    The LFS Nova mentioned in yesterday's thread is actually 9951. The only place the number is visible on the exterior is on the roof, other numbers have been blackened out and are unreadable. Wonder if it's been sold ? There are also 2 brand new Gillig Hybrids parked outside the main shop doors painted in the Bus Plus colors, should be 5517 & 5518.
  9. Autocar
    Un-Known LFS Nova now Out of service sitting parked in the back area where the park those buses that are either waiting for parts or sale/scrap.
  10. Autocar
    It appears that 4075-4080 have been transferred to Schenectady.

    Update: 9916 is alive and well, saw it running today. Anybody know what LFS Nova was given to Sherrif Craig Apple's Office ? It's sitting outside right next to the Orion 1.

    It's been reported that the R1-R9 Museum train had problems last Sunday and that R4 #484 could be the problem. If you watch the U-Tube video from the Summer trip that they were used on, you can hear Bill Wall say to the train operator " Looks like 484 is being the problem child today, the brakes are slow releasing ". My guess is that the issue was not totally resolved. Mike & Bill will figure itr out. The D-Type/AB Train could always fill in.

    Tuesday 11-22-16, 9916 being towed on I-90 towards the Albany Garage, hope it's nothing serious and it's not going to be retired.
  14. Autocar
    Correction: The Low Floor Nova parked along side of the Orion 1 is the Sherrif Craig Apple bus.
  15. Autocar
    All buses in the new group 4140-4149 are in service, some without licence plates. There is a Low Floor Nova [ # ? ] parked nose in right next to the Orion 1 in the yard. Wonder if they are keeping that one ?
  16. Autocar
    Unusual sighting in the rear of the Albany Garage, a Low-Floor Nova [ number no longer readable from the outside of the bus ] has been painted solid black all over and decalled / letterred in gold for Albany County Sherrif Craig Apple's Office.
  17. Autocar
    More newbies in service: 4145 & 4149, both in service without licence plates.
  18. Autocar
    More newbies in service: 4141-4143. Also Out of service in the rear of Albany Garage, 2 Gilligs & 1 Nova LFS. Sorry unable to get numbers.
  19. Autocar
    More New Gillig's arriving, saw 4140 yesterday, wish we would get something else, getting tired of them.
  20. Autocar
    There are several [ 2-3] Gilligs out of service in the back of the Albany Garage yard, sorry but was unable to see their numbers.
  21. Autocar
    It appears as if Troy is short on buses as Albany is contantly loaning them buses. Yesterday 9920 was on the 22 Route, while last week 9924 was there as well.
  22. Autocar
    4132 Might have been transferred to Schenectady, it was on the 355 yesterday.
  23. Autocar
    One of the Schenectady Bus-Plus buses [ 55??H / not sure which one ] has had it's bright white sign replaced with the standard orange, saw it yesterday, could not get the number.
  24. Autocar
    Happy to Report that 9951 is back in service.
  25. Autocar
    Low Floor Nova 9951 was being hooked up to the tow wagon this morning, appears as if it blew at least 1 if not both rear air bags. Wonder if it will be repaired or retired, guess time will tell.
