so that is SBS 3616E? i am taking my driving lessons at SSDC and everytime i noticed a Scania parked beside 3572Y. is the bus just like 3572?Originally posted by lemon1974:SBS3616E is inside AMDEP, parked just beside SBS3572Y. Can see from the road, near the driving centre. However, i noticed the front cover (with the scania logo) were removed. The rear engine cover were open also.... maybe they are taking the spare parts to use on other?
0071 was on svc 16 when it spontaneously combusted along ECP en route to Changi Airport. That incident was famous. Still remember its photo in the newspaper. Can't remember the exact year, though.Originally posted by Apex-LW'21:SBS71X might have been combusted in the Great AMDEP fire in 1993-1994.
all SBST revenue service buses have DDU's. (7 words)Originally posted by MBHawke:Hmm, noticed an Air-Con model, serving sv70, having a DDU installed, can't remember the Reg though. Maybe its one of those on "extended service"?![]()
SBS71X might be combusted in 1999 or 2000. I also can't remember which year.Originally posted by iveco:0071 was on svc 16 when it spontaneously combusted along ECP en route to Changi Airport. That incident was famous. Still remember its photo in the newspaper. Can't remember the exact year, though.
And I think 3575 was the svc 90 bus that burst into flames along MacPherson Rd the same day 3693 hit a pillar at Toa Payoh temporary interchange.
I think service_238 might be clearer about this point. According to him, the bus that whacked the pillar later became the first CAC Scania in SBS fleet. Many people are saying 3693 was chosen as the guinea pig.Originally posted by Apex-LW'21:SBS71X might be combusted in 1999 or 2000. I also can't remember which year.
SBS3593L hit a pillar at the Toa Payoh Temp Int, not 3693.
Oh, I didn't noticed it.Originally posted by iveco:I think service_238 might be clearer about this point. According to him, the bus that whacked the pillar later became the first CAC Scania in SBS fleet. Many people are saying 3693 was chosen as the guinea pig.

yeah.. 3625D has MB O405 WA front but not really noticeable since Scania fronts look similar.Originally posted by SBS1908B:I reckon 3625D had an acident before, it has a MB0405 WA front if I am not mistaken. In fact if I remember right, it was on 268 when it rammed something....another bus?
Yup, has a Hispano front.Originally posted by 105090:yeah.. 3625D has MB O405 WA front but not really noticeable since Scania fronts look similar.
btw, got one lance on sv852 also got a merc front
Not the whole front. Only the grille.Originally posted by SBS1908B:Yup, has a Hispano front.
The head-lamps change, got grille, and has the sme wind-screen as the MB0405.Originally posted by iveco:Not the whole front. Only the grille.
I've seen the photo. The windscreen is still the original one.Originally posted by SBS1908B:The head-lamps change, got grille, and has the sme wind-screen as the MB0405.
I wonder if I have seen wrongly then........can somebody confirm this?Originally posted by iveco:I've seen the photo. The windscreen is still the original one.
But 0700 (DAF SB220 WA Setanta) has a full Hispano front.

0928 uses the front salvaged from 1004.Originally posted by Apex-LW'21:It might be TIB928G
I think it might be using 3575 front for the lynx (SBS3572Y)Originally posted by iveco:0928 uses the front salvaged from 1004.
By the way, is the Lynx using 3575 front?
