Purchasing a public bus to preserve it?
-
anyone noticed that the radiator of the B10M MK4 as well as the VSO has the loudest radiator noise? But i lyk the VSO's noise!
Anyway the only 0405g of SMRT is the 0405g mark 2 ones. they occasionally have screech noises, similar to those of the B10M MK4, usually caused by a engine belt. so i wud not purchase any B10M MK4, even if it was given to me. But if they take out the DM3500 bodywork and install it on the B10M MK2 and shift its radiator to the side, i might consider! 
I love the DM3500 body, especially at night! COOL! 
Similar to those habits at night. Anyway, anyone have pics of the Tridents interior? I've never taken one Trident before... 
-
I'd like to see how a Scania looks in DM bodywork.
In the first place, did DM ever build any body kits for Scanias? I only see WA ones. -
hmm Think they did but only in UK.Scania is best using a ALX body.

Any reasons?Originally posted by XTransbus:hmm Think they did but only in UK.Scania is best using a ALX body.
Anyway, HK has some ALX-bodied Lances. Our Dennis buses come with DM body kits only. -
hmm although not made by DM or WA, the UK made wright solar/eclipse body really suits the Scania's of course, it is on the L94UB chassis. Anyway the DM3500 body may look very nice with the Scania N113CRBs!

I would like to see DM3500+CRL and Hispano Habit+L94UB.
-
YA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I would love to see the L94UB with the european wheels and nut-guard fitted with the hispano-Habit body!
Coming back to the N113CRBs, if i've got the chance to buy the NAC one, i would never retrofit its windows! I love the windows! I would only repaint it. If possible, i will remove some back seats to acoomodate some other things. If i've got extra $$$, i would even change the seats to Vogelsitze ones! They are firmer but nicer looking. I would upgrade its door opening/closing mechanism by self modification. If you notice, sometimes the doors take quite awhile longer to close and would even not close properly! 
Then i change the exterior lights to halogen lights or maybe LED. The interior lights might be changed to brighter and more efficient lights. Curtains covering the windows might be considered. Im still thinking what colour i shld paint. Like i said, these are just some ideas, so i hope for some positive comments, instead of "i don't think LTA allows such things in SG" This is just a dream! Imagine it! -
iveco here u go,Originally posted by iveco:I would like to see DM3500+CRL and Hispano Habit+L94UB.
Scania Habit L94UB
The colour abit...obiang... -
Nah. Those people live in Mercz areas will say Mercz is the best Bus as they have:Originally posted by iveco:I guess you must pity those living in SLBP and AMDEP controlled areas for having their ears damaged by O405 engine noise.
Honestly, the screeching on some Mk IVs is even worse.
1) Become Used to the Sound.
2) Always Take that bus model.
For me, Scanias are the best.

Land Transport Authority MuseumOriginally posted by MuLaFlaga:Preserve them in a MUSEUM
Should display Soon Chow buses in the 1980s, Volvo B57s, MBOF1417s, MB0305s, LAs, LO2x, Nissan U31 SCNs, Hino HKs, DAF Hispanos too...

SMRT should consider buying these buses and based them in Woodlands DepotOriginally posted by XiaoTaro:
replace all the Nissan UDs down there -
SMRT should start to preserve those CAC Nissans,after replacing them with the new modern buses. Then a few of the CAC Nissans can go run "heritage routes " like 178 and 963. (Analogous to the London's Routemasters.)Originally posted by TIB1018B:SMRT should consider buying these buses and based them in Woodlands Depot replace all the Nissan UDs down there
Maybe.........SMRT should also supply some preserved CAC Nissans to IMF. -
sorry, dun mean it......tat time my pc kanna hangOriginally posted by K800i:Ok , dont have to repeat three times.
Can't see this happening.
I just want the old freaking LOUSY sickening shitty Scania N113CRB buses out of the roads. Mercedes and even mark IIIs are so much more comfortable to ride on.

then 178, 187 n 980 from WLDEP NO MORE NISSANSOriginally posted by MuLaFlaga:Maybe.........SMRT should also supply some preserved CAC Nissans to IMF. -
I posted about this before. A real shame SMRTB dowan to bring them in. They need more zero-step buses.Originally posted by XiaoTaro: -
No need, smrt got lots of mercs which have slightly lower chassis than of the b10m. the chassis of the N113CRB has the highest steps and usually a granny would take a good 20 second to climb up and 10 seconds to climb down.Originally posted by iveco:I posted about this before.

Why? Because SMRT is put into shame by deploying lowly buses aka Nissans to a High-Profile event such as the IMF. Cant imagine someone buying a preserved Nissan and driving it to Genting Highland.
IMHO, lets preserve the buses like a mummy. Put them in a coffin, and seal them.

no way will i buy those Nissans! they s.u.c.k. more than the hino volgrens, even though they come from the same country. I would rather buy the Hinos than the Nissans. The Hinos are more powerful, that's all. And i don't think they have the stupid howling sound when they travel at high speeds, but this stupid noise can be heard on the Nissans, irritating! And if you want to drive the Nissans to Malaysia, i suggest u get a well suspensioned seat, otherwise u will suffer a buttache. However, i would like the Nissans to be preserved in museums, representing buses that once served the SG roads.

oh yah, i got a reply from SBSTransit that they had a copy of my message and it had been sent to the relevent department. So i hope they will put their Scanias (i hope) or B10M MK2 up on sale. But if they publish the VO2x NAC, anyone wants to buy it?

CRB chassis got higher steps? I thought with the rear engine, the floor could be lowered more, unlike the B10Ms that are better off used as touring coaches.Originally posted by XTransbus:No need, smrt got lots of mercs which have slightly lower chassis than of the b10m. the chassis of the N113CRB has the highest steps and usually a granny would take a good 20 second to climb up and 10 seconds to climb down. -
