Ken S. Posted July 18, 2008 Author Share #4 Posted July 18, 2008 Nice, Which Viking is that and when did you see it? That was 996, It was the 5:41 departure from 34/3. So maybe 5:50 or so. I think those Vikings are kinda fugly. Maybe the ride it nice. I didn't ride it. I was heading towards NYP at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pablo M 201 Posted July 18, 2008 Share #6 Posted July 18, 2008 what happened to the other 2 vikings? I actually like those buses they look like they mean bussiness. The other two, 997 and 998 are sitting at Casey Stengel Depot in Queens. They haven't been moved for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

East New York Posted July 19, 2008 Share #12 Posted July 19, 2008 I think those Vikings are kinda fugly. Maybe the ride it nice. The ride is nice, but I don't like the design either. It's also New Flyers least popular bus, and they only sold 100 something to 2 or 3 TA's. One of which was MTA; who only took delivery of the three.

DOB2RTO Posted July 19, 2008 Share #13 Posted July 19, 2008 I think those Vikings are kinda fugly. The same thing you say to yourself when you look at yourself in the mirror.....:p:p Maybe the ride it nice. If your have free $10 to waste, take a ride and find out..... The ride is nice, but I don't like the design either. It's also New Flyers least popular bus, and they only sold 100 something to 2 or 3 TA's. One of which was MTA; who only took delivery of the three. That bus shouldn't be beautiful. It's a motorcoach, a beautiful motorcoach......

Orion Posted July 19, 2008 Share #14 Posted July 19, 2008 One question, what engine that baby has? Sounds like a Bee-Line Neoplan S60 or a Baisley Park Coach... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
East New York Posted July 20, 2008 Share #15 Posted July 20, 2008 One question, what engine that baby has? Sounds like a Bee-Line Neoplan S60 or a Baisley Park Coach... None other than a DDs60 DDEC! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
