Mr. 'L' finally bought a decent 'modern' camera and here are some of the first experimental results.
All photos (except Daisy my Cat) were taken in the vicinity of the West Hollywood LACMTA #7 Depot.
BTW, Saturday seems to be a big Neoplan day in L.A.

Dave,
Thanks,
The 4500 is one of two that regularly shuttle commuters from Palmdale and Lancaster to West Los Angeles and they belong to Antelope Valley Transit Authority.
I'm afraid that I hadn't reached the page in the instruction book on 'zoom' yet when I took this picture - there will be better ones coming soon.
These MCI's are so majestic that they give me a chill when they start out from the curb just as the New York City Bus 4500's do in Manhattan.
If I ever drove a bus again, that's the wheel I'd like to be behind!
Attached is a photo of the new 'J' model which I hope doesn't mean the end of the DD because I don't much care for the new lines (it's one of those cases where "if it aint broke - don't fix it!").

Mr. Linsky,
Nice pictures. But be forewarned, this could become habit forming! Good luck with the new camera. I look forward to seeing more of your work.

Mr Linsky -
Yeah, I must agree with your observation. What's not to like about the magnificent new "liners" built precisely to the requirements of the
somewhat quirky US audience. Coaches built to take every advantage of the now five decades old Interstate System...
These days, we could have bigger, better Scenicruisers, too. Ah! I'll take two or three. Paint 'em orange and black, and letter 'em Pickwick <G>...

I like all the pictures because they remind me of the good times I had while having to go to LA to check up on my aunt between Dec 03 and Apr 05. Also enjoyable to look at sunny pictures during a cold NY winter day.
I see that all buses parked at a curb must turn their wheel inward toward the curb. No such requirement here in NY
My favorite picture is the MCI parked outsiide the Rite-Aid store. The livery is similar to that of Alert Coach of Bohemia NY and also we now know that Mr. Linsky drives a sliver car if we look in his side view mirror |
