O530 Carris PT Posted September 10, 2011 Report Share Posted September 10, 2011 For North American buses: New Flyer C40LF/C40LFR/XC40 (Frameless to C40LFR and XC40) with ISL G from Cummins engine and ZF Ecomat 6HP594 gearbox, and For European Buses, my choice goes to Mercedes-Benz Citaro CNG with Mercedes-Benz engine and ZF Ecomat 6HP594 gearbox. For Articulated buses, my preference in North American buses goes to New Flyer D60LFR/XD60 (Frameless) with Cummins ISL and ZF 6AP1700B gearbox and for European Buses goes to Volvo B10M-G with Camo Bodywork and THD 102 KF Engine and ZF 4HP590 gearbox.

tomsbuspage Posted September 12, 2011 Report Share Posted September 12, 2011 a Prevost artic with an ISM/B500R6 powertrain Good luck with that one. AFAIK, the H5-60 coaches were only built with DD 8V92TA engines. Link to post Share on other sites
CN7059 Posted September 12, 2011 Report Share Posted September 12, 2011 Good luck with that one. AFAIK, the H5-60 coaches were only built with DD 8V92TA engines. Never underestimate the capabilities of a determined fabricator with torch and a mig welder. That having been said, the screaming jimmy is a far better engine, in my opinion.

CN7059 Posted September 12, 2011 Report Share Posted September 12, 2011 While we're at it, why not go for the gusto and shove in an ISX. Now that would kick all kinds of ass. If you're going to do that though, dual 8 inch chrome stacks would be a must. I'm not really familiar with the layout of these buses, but my understanding is that the power train is under floor in the front portion of the bus. If that's the case, then you could pretty much fit whatever you wanted under there, you just have to sacrifice luggage compartment for engine space. Link to post Share on other sites
306 Carlton Posted September 14, 2011 Report Share Posted September 14, 2011 While we're at it, why not go for the gusto and shove in an ISX. I see your ISX and raise you a Cummins QST30. 91' NFI D60 with ISL9 and B4500 R-6. I don't see this as too feasible and B4500!? Link to post Share on other sites
Kashiwazaki Posted September 14, 2011 Report Share Posted September 14, 2011 ...Another good custom would be over a good Mitsubishi Fuso Aeroking! Even knowing that there is no customized Aeroking in real life!... Link to post Share on other sites
Nova Bus LFX Posted October 30, 2011 Report Share Posted October 30, 2011 I would have a NFI D60LFR with a hybrid drivetrain. Also, when the XDE60 comes out I might have that depending on how good it is. Link to post Share on other sites
Volvo Super Olympian Posted November 1, 2011 Report Share Posted November 1, 2011 Double Decker would be the older Alexander Dennis Enviro 500 with the Alexander Dennis Body Kit, Cummins ISLe Euro 5 with ZF 6HP604C Single Deck: Orion V with DD-13 and B500R (the intercity tranny obviously) =D Link to post Share on other sites
PCC Guy Posted November 1, 2011 Report Share Posted November 1, 2011 If given the choice, I'd gladly take any of the following buses: -GM New Look (preferably a 30 ft one) -GM Classic -Orion V -Flyer D901 -New Flyer D40/LF All but the D40LF with four-leaf exit doors, as per the TTC's buses. Imagine showing up to school in a TDH-3302. Link to post Share on other sites
Cleveland RTA Flxible 9204 Posted November 9, 2011 Report Share Posted November 9, 2011 I'd love to get my hands on a Flxible Metro from the mid 1980s to early 1990s (it'd be a big plus if it came from the Cleveland RTA in the 9200 fleet since I rode them heavily during my college days on the defunct Euclid Avenue route 6!)
