#6643 isn't scrapped  it's  signed up as the Q47 in LGA Depot also #6535 is still tracking at LGA Depot too and #6539 is turn off completely. I could say the same with #6534 that unit may be scrapped  or completely  turned off but the ones I've mentioned  are active in the Depot.

question  is #6839 and #6840 retired because  it's  been at FP for awhile and it hasn't  been tracking  for a month.

It's still listed at FP from TTMG's update.

According to resources 3563 is retired due to a transmission failure

I guess that explains why I haven't seen that bus in quite some time.

 

I would say why they just don't take an spare B400 from a retired bus at ECH, but the last retired MTA bus fleet to use those transmissions in the masses was the Orion V and those buses are long gone. 

 

Reminds me of one time I caught an ex PBL TMC RTS on the Q69, I was happy as hell to catch that bus, driver let us on at the first stop before turning the engine on. Driver turned on the engine and the bus had an crappy EGR S50, I was pissed lol. They clearly took an engine out of an retired NYCT retired repowered RTS and put it in a PBL unit.

That Bus been had a S50 EGR, If it was an ex triboro 7100 then that was the one you got. That bus had that engine since it was at triboro. It was a former Methanol powered TMC RTS

This was a few years after the takeover, I don't think many ex triboro RTS lasted that long. The vast majority of the PBL RTS's that made it to the NG order was mainly ex Jamaica and ex Queens Surface units.

 

 

Also I rode an 96 Nova with an S50 EGR before, in like 09 or 10.

about 3 ex triboro TMC's made it until around late 2008 early 2009.

9048 ended up with an EGR, I remember that. That might have happened pre-09. 

Damn, just thinking about this is bumming me out about how boring the fleet is now lol...
