This thread is for pictures of buses that you , for various reasons, can't or don't want to list normally in the photo galleries, and do not fit in other threads.

Here are some yard pics that I took around a month ago...


I ride #33 and #35 in the picture above. 33 is the right-most AARE, and #35 is 2 to the right of 33.


An impressive view of our '87 AARE


A closer view of #34, my AM bus last year

Please do not copy or redistribute my pictures.





My new thing now is that when I go visit another lot, I try to get some yard pictures to paint the picture with some of the pictures of the buses I took.

Here's a shot of LaSalle Parish's buses at a gas station in Olla, Louisiana.

I like your Girardin's Kodie. I cant wait until we get ours.

Slimm, that poor thing got to black eyes!

This is one of my all-time favorite photos...Not only is it a favorite of mine, it's a rare Carpenter RE!

I guess the Californian sun was too hot for this bus today!



Here's one that shows the rare Carpenter RE with a nice All American RE:



I also think the colors came out in this one nicely. Don't you think so?

Tried something different again.  My dad used to always do this with the spoke rims, and I've always liked the looks so I gave it a shot.  So far I've done 8 of the 21 buses.  I think they turned out alright.

That was what we did at STA to the spoke rims as well..(cheap man's way of a getting some bling) and they always looked really good. Now the bud wheels got an all silver finish...but I like the looks of that. Possibly think about making the center hub silver too?

They've recently starting painting the rims like that where I work too.  They used to paint the whole thing silver, now they're just doing the outsides like you show.  Starting to grow on me...

Yes, that is a Wayne! It is most likely on an International chassis.

I do not have pictures of it yet. Hopefully, I will soon.

Well here, I had a few minutes before driving today so I did a little bit of experimenting on our RE with the center...more silver? or does that look alright?

I think it'd look cool if you painted the tips of the bolts silver. Other than that, it's a great in-house upgrade! Great job!

That's a cute little thing! Late '70s would be my guess. The side exit door seems a little redundant on a bus that size, especially so close to the rear exit, but what do I know... 

Thats a really cool Wayne!!

It is interesting that it doesn't have high headroom...which has been very common/mandated for a LONG time in Ca.

Stopsigns weren't a mandated spec until 1989, so it is not surprising they didn't retrofit one.
[braces self and plugs ears for yelling about how stupid Ca specs are]

I came across a couple of "group" shots earlier when I was sorting through old digital pictures.

Here's a picture of my former 1969 Crown Supercoach with a brand-new Blue Bird All American FE from Indianapolis Public Schools.  This picture would've been taken back in 2003, when I was working for the Blue Bird Dealer.  (Which bus looks better? )



And here's a group of some new buses awaiting delivery, again from 2003.  They have "IC" roof logos but black diamonds on the cowls.  Must've been during the transition from "International ICs" to "IC CEs."

Here's a pretty Crown Coach church bus a friend of mine sent me.

Lots of great pictures guys and gals... i will try to get some pictures of Campbell county school district and the new fleet that Weston county#1 (newcastle, WY) they got about 15 Brand spanking new busses because their old busbarn burned down, and they had to barrow busses from different counties all over the state.

I would put some pix of weston county #7 but our busses don't park until next summer and we don't have any spares, the only spares we have are chevy suburbans and the old ford excursian (roughest riding sob on earth but it drives nice.)

I'm surprised you havent seen the topsy turvy bus before!

Here's a jail bus I found at a LSU game this year.

It's operated by the East Baton Rouge Sheriff's office.




Oh by the way, the criminals get to ride in a bus with AC while school kids in my area don't!

^Would you mind posing the links where I already posted these pics? I don't remember (I never did) posting them....

I'm pretty sure I didn't post them.

Here's one of an All-American FE perched up on top of a mountain in New Mexico.

By the way, I KNOW I didn't post this one yet! 

^If I were a bus, I'd LOVE to get perched up on a mountain rather than get scrapped!

Hey how were you able to make that layout of the garage? Yours it's like the best I've seen and I was wondering what program do you use?
