OCTA 2142 with a Cummins ISL-G 280 engine

[kruelzombie]

Hey I installed that ISL-G on that bus. Craked heads anybody.

[bigblockz8]

Wow that lean! And it sounds like a baby C Gas

Thanks for coming out and ride my bus on that day. It was certainly fun. I miss those 45 minute recoveries on that 91 line.

This is how LACMTA's 45-LFW NABIs that are getting engine upgrades sound like. (#7111)

MARTA needs to repower their C40LF too

[jlb62983]

Has MARTA bought any new buses recently???

[8v71buses]

Well the newest buses so far on the MARTA fleet are the 2006 C40LF's with the John Deere engines. But since 2006 MARTA hasn't ordered any new buses. At the same time I think that MARTA might be getting by the end of 2009, or sometime in 2010

[jlb62983]

Thanks for the info. You wouldn't happen to know why they went from Orion back to New Flyer would you???

[8v71buses]

I talked to a lot of different MARTA Bus Operators, and it appears that the Bus Drivers have lots of complaints about the Orion Buses, but I happen to like them. The reason why they probably when back to New Flyer is because MARTA has a long history with the New Flyer Industries in Canada, so I think thats probably why MARTA went back to New Flyer.

You have a good eye for the bus. Come down to west Los Angeles and teach me some things.

[TuneRVisioN510]

I swear I got this bus mixed with a Long Island Bus because of the paint scheme...

[QueensBuses]

I believe our 07 NG CNGs will have this engine

[tbrett000]

Do they currently have their DD series 50 ?

[QueensBuses]

Which buses?

[tbrett000]

Are the 07 NG CNGs being repowered or have you not received them yet?

[QueensBuses]

Oh, we haven't gotten them yet

[TuneRVisioN510]

The NG CNGs came and we got ISL-G in them.

[s88Limitedbus]

soon the Long Island Bus on all buses will be blue stripes.

The orion 7 NG (LIB) had blue stripes.

[TuneRVisioN510]

Yeah and 1456 (ex-193) V CNG got blue stripe now.

[seClip9]

Sounds almost like the disel power Cummins ISL.

[ClassicTVFan82]

That's because it's an offshoot of it.

[MAR1NAB5180]

Aren't some of these Nabi buses also been repowered JONHDEERE 6081H engines?

[ea90744]

2 OCTA NABIs had john deere engines ... 2104 and 2312. Both of these buses now got Cummins ISL-G engines.

[ea90744]

Thats a Cummins ISL-G 280 engine

[nyct54]

why this bus engine sound so different from the others?
