Bentley Posted December 5, 2012 Report Share Posted December 5, 2012 I may be taking a liberty, but I will include my HSR photo in the GTA section. The exact date I don't have but I was visiting a pal at McMaster January 1998. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris W Posted December 5, 2012 Report Share Posted December 5, 2012 I absolutely LOVE that D900 shot!!! Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this one of the ones that was retrofitted with power steering a few months before retirement. Also by the looks of it, this particular example was doing a 5C West Hamilton or 51 University. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also by the looks of it, this particular example was doing a 5C West Hamilton or 51 University. I have to dig around and find the front end photo I got that day. I remember it was bitter cold that day and I just managed to catch her as I was leaving Jackson Square. Did someone say HSR? DUH-Here's the photo! Great shot, what year was this? The Niagara Transit bus photo was sent to me by a nice staffer at Niagara Transit back in 1996, photographer unknown. The Gray Coach bus is a A. Holt photo at Lakeshore Garage.

Seashore_518203 Posted December 5, 2012 Report Share Posted December 5, 2012 I absolutely LOVE that D900 shot!!! Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this one of the ones that was retrofitted with power steering a few months before retirement. All HSR D900 buses were retrofitted with power assist steering. Even though they were easier to turn, it was still about 6 revolutions to go from left lock to right lock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlyerD901 Posted December 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2012 Here's another Holt view - unfortunately it's partially double-exposed but still a great shot. Eglinton West at Kane, 1974. Nice shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

williampaul Posted December 23, 2012 Report Share Posted December 23, 2012 Some more TTC shots from the past I bought these 4x7's from a vendor table at the Brantford Model Train Show last June for $9 each(plus tax!!!) I just bought a scanner so I can show them to you all pretty expensive but nice photos. I'm sorry but these did not come with dates but I assume the 80's sometime see what you think guys?

williampaul Posted December 23, 2012 Report Share Posted December 23, 2012 All of MY photos. Taken from the web and rescanned. Who was the seller? Correction, these were taken from my Flickr page... I got them June 3rd I think at the Brantford show/meet from a couple guys who were from Langton ON I think? It was Mindlemen or Minderman trains, trnaist and hobbies... something like that..it was a long time ago to remember.. I bought close to 60 ttc shots off them - if I recall correctly I spent around 700bucks although I did also get some ttc pocket timetables from them, also a May 1959 and May 1,1964 route maps and a handful of Headlights brochures. Some photos had photographers names and locations on them and a lot did not. I just scan and post what I have. Here are some more of the photos...do you think these were taken by you also? Somebody else here posted some B&W xmas bus shots that I bought off these guys also so I won't re-post those for you Chheck these out.... Also you sound upset? Did you not sell photos over the years? If the photos are posted on the 'net somewhere they will end up all over the place so that cannot be it, or are you inferring people have had prints made off the net and you didn't get paid for it? or do you want to buy photos off these guys? If you are TTC photographer or employee do you have TTC stuff for sale? I have been collecting for over 30 years and collect TTC photos(nothing more recent than the 80's), pocket bus timetables, route maps of all eras, Headlights, Coupler, internal documents such as commission meetings for new routes/maps etc and also same for Gary Coach. Please let me know as I am always buying!@ Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like some were taken off Bob's Flickr page without permission, printed out and resold. Not the sort of thing an honest photo seller or slide trader would be doing. Since this is the Vintage page, here's some shots of the old TTC Dufferin Loop area from the CofT Archives: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have found that certain 'honest' sellers sell dupes and in a lot of case, I but the actual slide but the seller has made a pile of 8x10 prints and sold those also. Not exactly dishonest but it happens all the time. I think I have bought a great rare photo and 3 of my friends also have the same photo!!!! I don't know who Bob is but he has some nice shots.... Where is his flicker page to have a look at what else he has???? also, do you know, or does anybody know where the WILSON bus 3356 is in the photo above????

Robert Lubinski Posted December 23, 2012 Report Share Posted December 23, 2012 It's 3586, there was no 3386. The 1905 Can-Car Brill photo is by David Wilson from his Flickr page and the 3504 photo is by Paul Bateson and was used on the front of a TTS newsletter.
