Hi Bob, other than selling the Orion VI hybrids, the MTA is also selling the New Flyer Vikings. The VI's are inoperational while the vikings seem to be fine. Its a shame that the MTA or NYTM cannot sa ... |

Well this is great , the MTA chooses to buy a bus that has suspension problems and the works. I'm sure the life time expectancy of these buses might be 8-10 years without an overhaul, maybe less. I gu ... |

Yea I heard Jan 08 but I haven't seen the building recently. But I'm sure it will be open within 2008. Also, by this time Ulmer Park is suppose to go under renovation so there might be a big change. |

I received mine 2-3 days ago (pretty surprised considering that the Corgi site said December at one point and I didn't expect it). I bought 2 for some reason and I might be selling one of them (I'll l ... |

It's, um ... different.
I do like the all-white look on the Orion V's, though - it'll be interesting to see what an Orion VII looks like when they get around to repainting one of those.

No it's not 5887... All the remaining Green Classics were scrapped at NIMCO last month.
One more hint... It is originally from one of the Cooper companies
Coopers Co.? Wow I don't remember ... |

Nice! Its obviously not 5887 or any ex GBL, SC, JB, TCC or QS. Is it an ex NYBS or LLE? Thanks for saving another bus, it looks great. |

Well I grew up on Liberty Lines Express and their MCI Classics so it's not just about the engine and its sound that takes me back into their era (80s/90s), it's also about the history I have with them ... |

Yea I have seen 1294 and 1295 a lot lately on the Q112, 1295 looks pretty good especially since its in the MTA format. Hopefully the bus performs better than the older models. |

Thats a pretty good question. To be honest I don't think CP will be getting any new equipment anytime soon since the Orion V CNG's are from 1998/9. If anything there may be a chance that CP can get HE ... |
