TTCNLFBT Posted July 7, 2018 Report Share Posted July 7, 2018 (edited) 8073 was the only bus in the 8010-8117 series to receive rebuild and renumbered to 2151. Edited July 15, 2018 by 8058 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Downsview 108 Posted July 7, 2018 Report Share Posted July 7, 2018 Damn. I had no idea 2151 went to Eglinton. I remember it when it was at Arrow. I also remember when it was in Malvern's dead line as 8073 along with 8075. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T3G Posted July 7, 2018 Report Share Posted July 7, 2018 IIRC at the time the 54 was shared between Malvern and Eglinton. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Downsview 108 Posted July 7, 2018 Report Share Posted July 7, 2018 Here's a couple shots of 2151 pre and post rebuild. 8073 in the Malvern dead line during another snow storm in January 1999 (good thing I took it before the snow got real heavy) 2151 on 99 Arrow Rd at the division May or June 2000. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TTCNLFBT Posted July 15, 2018 Report Share Posted July 15, 2018 2418 with a retro GM plate at the front of the bus. It was replaced by a regular GM plate sometime in March 2010. Various photos including an interior of 8058. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TTCNLFBT Posted July 22, 2018 Report Share Posted July 22, 2018 I have seen pictures of 8058 in a CLRV livery in the past. I have never seen pictures in a maroon & cream livery. Does anyone have any pictures of 8058 in maroon & cream livery? If that person has all three liveries of 8058 that person is one lucky person! Also, does anyone have pictures of 8909 in a white zoo bus ad in the early 1990's. I have seen the green 8726 before and it's all over on Flickr. Thanks.

Dan Looking at these two buses, it looks as if they were standard on the S8M-5304A coaches, or at least the skylight version was: http://gmbus.com/143.htm http://gmbus.com/6051.htm There also appeared to be two roof hatches on the S6H-4504A coaches: http://gmbus.com/96.htm The roof hatches do not appear to have been used on the suburban coaches before 1972.

My research has not been conclusive by any means, but it does also seem that at least quite a few of the suburbans built prior to about 1972 appear to have two side emergency exit doors - one on each side. And that certainly does make sense as it parallels the production of the transit versions, and the changeover from the closed-side emergency exit door to the roof hatches.

Jeffrey Posted August 17, 2018 Report Share Posted August 17, 2018 I think I may have asked a similar question way back, but did not have a proper photo to explain what I was talking about. This is from Edmonton Transit 189, a BBC Trolleybus donated to Sandtoft Trolleybus museum in the UK. I don't recall any TTC buses with that air vent feature, but I definitely recall a couple of Oshawa Transit buses with this feature, any idea what it was for? Is it a vent or intake?

The 1975 order was on the external rear right side panel (looked similar to the muffler pipe housing). The year or so after, the air intake vent was run through that area with a rounded cover piece screwed to the body. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
