its the transmission that makes that whalling noise, am i right? because out here @ omnitrans (san bernardino) our former 2600 series had the same set up

[MetroLinerXLZ]

Yes it is. The VR-731 does make a whailing sound. By the way, is OmniTrans still operating #2696?

Wha??? Wait a Minute??? Looks Like a Series 92.

[MetroLinerXLZ]

Nah, it's a Series 50.

I take it that it is a Flexible? Great video!

[MetroLinerXLZ]

Nope. That is a 1994 TMC RTS.

I had no idea there were bus nerds until I came across this vid.

An RTS wit a Series 50 sounds nothin like an RTS wit a 6V92.....except the transmission whine. But you still get that with the M-11/ VR-731 powered RTS's.
