BCT-3122-D800-10240 Posted May 9, 2014 Report Share Posted May 9, 2014 Well, This kinda looks like an MCI D4500 demonstrator that I found at the Cummins shop in S.E. Calgary last night on the way home from work: Link to post Share on other sites

G.A Posted May 11, 2014 Report Share Posted May 11, 2014 Went back and got some better daylight photos of this same coach: Transit style doors? I thought the D4505 was built for highway use due to lack of dest sign space. But that is a good catch! Link to post Share on other sites
TheAverageJoe Posted May 11, 2014 Report Share Posted May 11, 2014 Transit style doors? I thought the D4505 was built for highway use due to lack of dest sign space. But that is a good catch! It is a commuter coach Link to post Share on other sites

There is plenty of room for a destination sign... look at GO Transit's! Also, it is actually a D4500CT, not a D4505. Link to post Share on other sites

BCT-3122-D800-10240 Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 Yeah... Sorry guys... I meant D4500 & not D4505. Ooops! Link to post Share on other sites

Big CJ Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 Don't know if this is much of a discussion, but Lynx has an MCI J4500 demo with them. One of my sources has spotted it with a Lynx car and is looking for the coach right now as I speak. It's a 2014 demo, which has no numbers at all, for now. It's also night time, so I won't be expected photos from him, unless he surprises me. Link to post Share on other sites
Big CJ Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 Now here is a picture of the J4500 demo taken by Shaun Kavanaugh. This is also being posted with permission. Link to post Share on other sites
A. Wong Posted June 30, 2014 Report Share Posted June 30, 2014 Rumor has it the new S417 will be designed like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R2In7aL8kg8 Anyone have any verifiable on that? Link to post Share on other sites
XN40 Posted July 1, 2014 Report Share Posted July 1, 2014 That coach is available in Europe and it looks like a nice coach. Maybe next year or a year after that. It's said to be an evolution of the current S400 coach with some new styling and other improvements. I too was wondering on when it e oils come to the usa.

Detroit Diesel 6V92TA Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 A charter company called "Storer" still has a few MCI 102A3's or 102C3's (the ones with the sloped back ends) running, as I have seen some running in SF lately. They are most likely repowered since I didn't hear a 6V92TA (even though I swear I heard 2 mysterious 6V92TA vehicles pass by my house a few weeks back...) Link to post Share on other sites

I still prefer the classic MCI d series look the best. Link to post Share on other sites
