I can also confirm that we at Birchmount now do the stripping of Orion VII OG slowboxes. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

7575 Posted October 17, 2018 Report Share Posted October 17, 2018 I am not sure if this has been posted already, but I have received confirmation that 7852 is indeed retired. It's MTO was up this month. Another one bites the dust... 7837's tracker has it at Hillcrest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SertenTryptic Posted October 18, 2018 Report Share Posted October 18, 2018 Does 1810 have a new engine since the engine sounded horrible. And 7722's tracker isn't showing up on Transsee Just now, SertenTryptic said: Does 1810 have a new engine since the engine sounded horrible.

Maybe they bid, but didn’t win. they’re usually sealed...nobody knows their competitor’s price, so they can’t undercut after the first submission. Langille’s is a pretty big outfit. Economy of scale often works in their favour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

7749 Posted October 19, 2018 Report Share Posted October 19, 2018 There are 2 OG's at the very back of Birchmount Garage that are stripped. Anyone know which ones they are? (I think one of them is 7712) Also, 7779 has disappeared from Birchmount Garage so it could have gone for scrap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mar_AC_23 Posted October 22, 2018 Report Share Posted October 22, 2018 Just because the slowboxes haven't seen service for the past few days doesn't mean they have bitten the dust as yet... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
