  • By da way, do you know if Queens or NY has any TMC's without the left side roof-top exhaust. Man that would be a throwback, like seeeing a GM almost.

  • Uhh..I have no idea lol.

  • Actually, the TMC used at Stengel to store garbage still has a 6v92TA, so no, it doesn't. I thought it was 8210 but it obviously isn't. I think its a 82XX

  • There were some 6V-92TA powered RTS's that were using the rooftop tailpipe option, IIRC. Btw, did you hear the engine running?

    But for Stengel to be using it in such a disrespectful manner, as refuse container, is extremly irritating. They obviously have not a grain of respect for RTS's anymore.

  • There were? I thought the rooftop tailpipe was installed for the Series 50. I didnt hear it running, but it had no roof tailpipe. And it was 8207. It shows up for roadeos, so you can hear it leaving at the end or something.

  • I remember when I rode the Q37 once when I was 6 when it was Green Lines. I rode it from Jamaica/111st to Atlantic/111st. That was so quick.

  • Roadeos..not bad. Stengel should use one it's Orions for the this refuse business you mentioned. LoL. Thnks for the #8207.

    As for the tailpipe, the rooftop was optional early on before the S50; however, once the S50 became standard in RTS's, rooftop tailpipes were fully established, and no longer ''optional''. Before the DD50 repowerings of 1996-97, I'm not sure how many RTS's had rooftop tailpipes. Some RTS's may have been fitted with a new AC housing with exhaust provisions.

  • This place changed a LOT in a few years.

  • Probably. They're common on the Q27 and Q88.

  • Oh, so they're all QV. Anyway, just saw another 1990 TMC in Flushing, but it was too far to make out the #..but it was on H. Harding Expwy, so had to have been an 88 right. It was probably a # you've already got a video of I'm guessing too.
