It's parked in the same spot on the eastern edge of the south fence wall. I was about to say what it went into service lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That move may have meant to mean the shipper is about to send them. What will SS do with 18 electrics and 5 or 10 #8350"s??? I think their poker hand tiips and we begin service on the #606 and above electrics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoungBusLover Posted December 20, 2021 Report Share Posted December 20, 2021 Not a major thing but #8350 is one step closer to entering pilot service. Just saw the clever device manufacturer van with employees installing software on the bus this afternoon. That bus sounds pretty good as well. Can't wait to see it in action soon.

Outside of that hump being gone is it using a different engine? Kinda like how over time the flyers had things tweaked about them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I could make out the engine seems to be the same as the 8325s with a few minor modifications.An ISL9 is still in there so that's good. As far as the transmission is concerned I'm not to sure on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoungBusLover Posted January 12, 2022 Report Share Posted January 12, 2022 #8350 has disappeared from the south fence wall. I'm sure if it's in the main shops hidden behind all the defunct buses or moved to another garage. Be on the lookout out for it though. We're getting closer and closer.

Uh oh, sounds like it’s getting ready to call our names, after about 5 months or so sitting at SS. Most likely it should be hiding in the boneyard somewhere at SS. We are finally getting ready to see it to start performing on stage soon. Since Nova secretly could have 70% of the base order already built, my prediction is that we could already have majority of them on the street by June or July.

(but I do want them to go to NP) Actually FG should have them first since they had the 6400s. It's only 100 buses. However I predict that it will be a 50/50 split between FG and 103rd.

(but I do want them to go to NP) I don’t think North Park wants any #8350s any right now, I rather have FG to finally get something new instead of getting older buses from other garages, most likely it makes sense to send the first 100 new buses to FG to swap out the #6400s instead of older equipment from other garages to handle when we split up the #8325s between 103rd and FG it as what happened when we received them.
