CAT in LAs Vegas had #201-#206 and #254-#261. The NYC model im getting in January. The number and route are both correct as #303 was assigned to Ulmer Park depot and the B64 is assigned to that depot. The only thing i noticed it didnt have the roof top like some of the Grummans did. |

I ordered the NYC, SCRTD and SF Muni Grummans. The RTD one is accurate from what I can tell, fleet #7634, route designation is 485, which was a Division 3 route, and 7634 was assigned to Div. 3 when new. I think they even got the license plate correct (CA exempt #746036, or something like that. I used to keep track of license plates and that is the sequence that a 1980 Gruman would have had). I never saw the Muni Grummans (first visit was August 1988, at which time they were long gone), but they put on the 15 Third | Fisherman's Wharf Area sign, which is legitimate (I saw it on the Flyer D902s and M-A-N artics when I visited, also, for most of my SF visits, I stayed at a hotel on the 15-Third route, so it kinda served as my "home" route when ever I was in SF) |

It was somewhat mitigated by the fact that the first of 940 1981 GMC RTS T8O-204s had gone into service the previous week. There was some shuffling of buses, some older ones were brought out of retirement. Around mid-January, between the RTS and older buses broguht back, RTD was back at the fleet size before the Grummans went out. |
