1992 Flxible Metro 40102-6C ( Ex-TriMet # 1801 )

[@michaelgilmore4682]

This Cummins L10/Voith D863 sounds great. I remember when we had these in the SCRTD fleet. At first I hated them caused they replaced all of the Grumman 870's with those 6V71/V730s back in the day, but once I gave them a chance, the beefiness was a show stopper.

[@busrailfan]

[@jsmurd]

ea90744 This is cool. I love the Flxible Metros. I'd like to buy one. Thanks for sharing! Thumbs Up.

[@ea90744]

thank u

[@curtisbernard4458]

Man this bus sounds like our bus of today . This Flxible engine sounds nothing like the ones we had . They were one shifters lol , like our new looks was , that very same engine whistle .

[@BenLomonRail]

Sounds like the old Van Hool AG700s that the Reseau de Transport de Longueuil once had.

[@TheCRTman]

Damn. Sounds like a Phantom with that ISM/Voith D863.3 (originally L10 CELECT).

[@sir.confident]

Such a shame! The Flxible Metros were such fine buses. All of them are dead here in DC.

[@anjuarunderwood6869]

I love the sound of that flexible

[@neoplan410c9]

Wooo my god I love this bus Rosie sounds beautiful

[@knightclassic1]

I love feeling the Tires in a Flx while in Motion, Imagine what would Flxible Driver seating area would be like if it has Shield. I wish Chicago CTA's Flxible had this particular Cummins Engine, I'm shocked that Jackson MS and Memphis TN didn't have Flx Metros.

[@sm6175]

Not sure about the transmission, but we did have some Cummins L10 Flxibles. They were the 5300-series... more specifically 5745-5764. Only 20 buses out of all 469 in that batch. The rest were Detroit Diesel 6v92TA.

[@knightclassic1]

@@sm6175 Ohh You from Chicago too?? So am I, many of my fam worked for CTA. I loved 5300s Flxs, 5302 was my personal favorite as me being from South East Side.

[@jimmytrussel488]

​@sm6175 CTA also had some cummins powered flxibles in the 6000 series as well I believe 6305 to 6329 they were M-11 powered with the ZF trans. As far as the 5300 were concerned there were about 20 give or take in the upper 5700s (5745-5765) all were L10 powered 10 had ZF trans and the other 10 had the voith trans

[@nickgodfrey1973]

This honestly reminds me of the 2x Csepel 844.01's we had a few years ago. C8.3/Voith 851.2's IIRC

[@ClassicTVMan1981X]

Miami, and Omaha, ran 1993 Flxibles with the C8.3 to an 863.2!

[@jdeandre]

TriMet took damn good care of those Flxibles. Doesn't sound like a 22 year old bus.

[@OregonTransitFan]

jdeandre TriMet doesn't have good maintenance at all

[@ClassicTVMan1981X]

The Merlo Garage is considered Tri-Met's "Jurassic Park."

[@nigalreinbachs7130]

There is no better engine for a big Harley Davidson motorcycle than a Cummins L10 turbo motorcycle engine. The Motorcycle would have an air starter and a fast idol switch just like this bus!😎😎😎🇱🇻🇱🇻🇱🇻👍👍🧊🧊☕️☕️☕️🍩🍩🍩

I wish Chicago CTA and Muskegon MATS Flxibles sounded like this

[@calvincrews3885]

Cummins L10 diesel engine with a voith automatic transmission seats 43 - 37 with 2 wheel chairs and a wheel chair lift it sounded like a trash truck with hydraulic system but quiet for others

[@TapeCity]

reminds me of the COTA flxibles

[@rendezvous65]

Do you still have the Neoplan?

[@MEVA1104]

Another nice post!!!

[@ea90744]

thank you

[@ЛахАноным]

Lol, I've got idea to get sounds from OMSI to Rigs of Rods Fixible

[@CBooge2]

Where's this bus located i would like to buy it

[@rendezvous65]

Did transit systems acquire this bus?

[@ea90744]

No No No !

[@rendezvous65]

Oh ok, but it's a nice sounding bus with the Voith transmission.

[@anjuarunderwood6869]
