  1. What do you mean that they're supposed to?

     

    There are three schemes: decal, NYCT whiteback, blackback. There are six or seven O7s with black sides and a whiteback, and that's where the oddities end. If it's freshly whitebacked, it's probably not getting decaled. Decal buses have a lot of other changes: no stripes on the doors, etc. --> it's not just a case of the normal NYCT whiteback and then decals on it.

     

    OG's frpm 6690-6905 have black sides, but CS and some other depots whitebacked the buses and repainted the sides white!

  2. :)

    The bus just got repainted. You know which other buses have no black paint? Essentially every NYCT O7. I'd bet you dollars to doughnuts that the MTA won't randomly bring it back to the shop just to put on a new scheme, when plenty of other buses need a new coat of paint. I'd be happy! The NYCT scheme is much cleaner and better looking, imo.

     

    Look at 4P's profile, I posted CS's buses that I saw has no black paint which are supposed to.

    View my profile to see an image of Orion V 661 burned to a crisp!

    Photo's ILoveMyRDOs. He works at CS as a B/O.

  3. I agree with dmouse. QVs RTS are in very decent shape. Send them 96s over this way please thanks.

     

    Their crapping out. CS is doing a good job with them so leave them there. Their AC is doing fine.

    QV is doing good with some RTS and CS is doing good with some 05s. Leave everything the way it is now.

    So can I have a roster of loaners with the depots?

  4. 4197 (an Orion NG) is on the Q46 today- I just rode it in service about 10 minutes ago.

    It still has another depot's sticker on it, but I could not see which it was. Not sure if this is a permanent switch or just good luck, but I do like seeing something new(-ish) on the Q46.

     

    Thats Casey Stengels loaner for crappy Queens Village's crappy RTS.

  5. Oh so thats where 2135 went? i was at the depot yesterday i was standing outside and i walked to see what was on the O/s line & i saw 2889 im like huh we never had that bus ..... So it came in yesterday morning . If you didnt hear the story here it is " Last week a driver had a lfs on the B36 and it was too crowded and the bus wouldnt move so he told the passengers that so they someone broke the gps box open & punched a hole through the roof of the bus ( i dont know how they managed to do that ) but yea . Alot of ulmer parks rts are o/s now because of transmission problems , due to over heating because they are so used to the heat during winter time and they arent used to the cold air for summer so they over heat & break down and plus they are old so yea .

     

    Since you work at Ulmer Park, can you get pics of that LFS

  6. I hope to God they don't put the Alstom propulsion on the R188's or R142A's. We don't need anymore Alstom crap on the trains.

     

    Agreed! Alstom propulsions suck. I hate that errrr-ahhh-errrrrr-EEEEEEE-errrrr-eeeeee sound especialy because the errrrrr-eeeeeee sound repeats and repeats. When it stops its errrrrr-eeeeee-errrrrrr-eeeeeee-errrrrrr-ah-ooooo

    The bombardier propulsion on the R142A makes a good sound like er-ahhhhhhhhhhhh-mmmmmm-MMMMMMMM-MMMMMMMMMM and when it stops its like eeeerrrrrrr-eeeeerrrrrrrr-ahhhhhhhhhhh-eh.

    The siemens souns good too. Its like errrrrrr-ahhhhhh-ooooooooooh and when it stops its like ahhhhhh-ooooooooh-eeeerrrrrrr.

    Siemens and bombardier propulsions for life!!

  7. Hey, when you're done with all your requests and have time may I have an Orion VII OG HEV in the decal scheme numbered 6893.

    The destination sign says with all capital letters : Q28 FLUSHING MAIN ST STA

    Btw, the back is not two pieces, it is a whole and may you please put lines on where to fold for the front and rear bumpers?

    Please with lead acid batteries.

    And Orion V 6005 with the white back.

    *Note: On 6005 there is no MTA New York City Bus in the back. Just put 6005 on top of the little box thing with the grill.

    The door side says 6005 MTA New York City Bus. - Thats how it looks in real life*

    Thanks in advance and take your time, so do other requests before mine!

    If you can't do some of the things, please don't to it.
