It's cool, has lots of photos of all types of new and old Septa equipment (try and find the pic of 8143 and the other pic of a neoplan next to a pcc!) I want this tape, hope get it as a Christmas present!: http://www.trainstation.com/mfse1.shtml?mgiToken=LDR55X999D3

Miss the Neoplans and M3's a lot. :( And that photo has a ripple back! Those were my favorite Neo's back in the day. Loved riding them, and always looked for them What is that thing on top of that Neoplan? Some test air conditioner device? Edited by Jayayess1190, Dec 14 2008, 09:39 PM.

A good portion of the AK and BD model Neos had them early on, but most got swapped out with the Thermo King AC. Classic Neos.........Classic Almond Joys..........I miss them.............

^^^ My sister needs a copy Posts: 1,647 Group: Members Member #2,659 Joined: September 22, 2008	I agree. Ditto with the NABIs. I remember the late 5155 had the dark trim.

Simpsonized! Posts: 2,647 Group: Members Member #865 Joined: August 2, 2007	The PCC looked better with a Thin stripe. 5155 still has the black trim in the Midvale scrap yard. And yes the NEO days and the M3 days were the bomb. Then the nabi's came and started a new era. http://www.philadelphiatransitvehicles.info/multimedia/displayimage-5-4.html Edited by TRANSIT_FREAK, Dec 15 2008, 04:12 PM.
