Thanks! |

| MongoKen was the prince william county guru, but I havn't seen him on here for a LONG time. I'm decent with identifying their buses as well though. They tend to buy busses in spurts (meaning there are years with little or no purchases leaving gaps). |

| Thats a tough one. Cant tell the specs really well but definately Va. and sitting at BGA Sales in Florida. IC RE 1629 I need to update my microsoft as it will not let me email through your website. If you send me an email I can respond through mine. If you dont want to do that it's cool. |

| My first guess would be Chesapeake, however they were getting white roofs by 94, and that's clearly newer (MVP). |

| 96AmTranRE, those materials will be coming soon. Keep watching the website, as we are in the process of a massive update. New FCPS material will be the last to be added, but there will be plenty to look at. Keep checking back. |

| No. Our last Wayne's (1989 Wayne Lifeguard Ford's) were retired the summer of 2008. Currently our oldest buses are 1990 Blue Bird TC/2000 FE's in the special ed department. All regular ed Blue Bird buses have been retired. |

| I owned a 1985 Ford Wayne from Fairfax. I miss that 'ol bus it was a very dependable one. Wish I had a picture of it. It belongs to a church now and it's still used quite regularly. |

| So, I think Arlington County is 100% done with the Rear Engine transit purchasing! They have been getting pretty intense with the C2 for the past 3 years or so, however today, i just saw a brand spanking new IC CE on the road! It looked great too, although it had one heck of a tail swing... especially for the tight turns all throughout Arlington! Has anyone else noticed the new reflective material that IC has been using for the "SCHOOL BUS" lettering on the roof caps? I've seen it on Fairfax, Arlington, and Loudoun county buses from this year. It's like a neon yellow color, and REALLY stands out! It would be cool if they used it for all of the reflective material on the bus! |

| Fairfax will have been off 10 days as of this coming Friday. Monday (Feb 15) is to be a make-up day, hopefully things will be cleaned up by then, but I won't hold my breath on that. |

| Anyone have a photo of their school bus yard with all the snow? We're looking for photos to put in our email newsletter today with a story on the east coast snow storms. If you have something we can use, please email it to claire.atkinson@bobit.com with your name, title, district name and location. Thanks. |

| Wow those are tough! The 89 Ford is definately old Richmond City. I think the 92 TC2000s are going to be Albemarle Co. The 91s I'm not sure and the pusher I'm not sure. The GMCs I'm thinking southwest Va. but not sure exactly. I've got to Sonny Merryman next week to pick up a used trans. so I'll check them out. |

Those photos are REALLY old, so I doubt any of those buses will still be there.
Thanks for your help! |

| O, I thought you had found a few treasures hiding about. I was kinda surprised to see that Richmond City bus because I thought they were all gone. |

I hope to continue work on it soon. My busy school/work schedule has taken my time from me. But hang on! I've just received a massive load of submissions and I'm anxious to get them posted.

| Other than the cost and headaches of Lucas Girling brakes they were darn good little buses, most were retired with well over 250k miles with original engines. |
