Ugh, I can't wait for these to retire...

@TransitFan88 - Watch, they will be replaced by.... OrionVII

The front door is also black. It looks shiny when it was new in 2003.

Say, aren't more being rebuilt soon?

[ttc2353]

@TTCOrionVII8100 - 7410 was fully repainted in May 2011. The rear numbers of 7410 are wacked out.

[TTCOrionVII8100]

@ttc2353 Isn't the numbers like 1136 or 1336? I do not know where 7410's number is positioned.

[ttc2353]

@TTCOrionVII8100 - It's abit similar to 1136, but it's spaced out abit.

[TTCOrionVII8100]

@ttc7950 And the engines? They can repower the S50EGRs to ISL or ISX engines. The rear seating perimeters needs to be fixed similar to the VII NGs and VII EPA10s.

[TTCOrionVII8100]

@ttc2353 Wow. I looks like some 66/67xx back in 2000-2003. Even 6742 was like that back then and 7864 in the front now.

Looks nice, though I'm not really a fan of the Ameriview rear door mixed with the Classic front door. I was also hoping they'd somehow increase the speed of the rear doors, or even change the door lights to LED. :\
