Strathcona County Transi

Strathcona County Transit acquired 5 second hand New Looks to supplement their existing bus fleet during the 1990s. Details and photos are below on 472, 904, 909 and 910. The other bus was ex Edmonton Transit 1964 TDH-5303 #478. The history behind it would be the same as 472. Leased in 1991, purchased 1994 and retired by the late 1990s.

1963 TDH-5301 #472- Ex Edmonton Transit #472 was originally leased by Strathcona County Transit in 1991, and later purchased in 1994. It was possibly retired when the two TDH-5305s arrived. It rarely, if ever ran into Edmonton. After retirement it ended up at Busex, along with #478, but by the time I found #472, all that remained of 478 was a few parts!

1968 TDH-4519 Paling Allouette 35 Rebuild- Strathcona County Transit took delivery of this single bus sometime around 1994. It is believed to be an ex HSR TDH-4519, rebuilt by Paling with a Classic style rear end and a lot of other changes. IIRC, this bus and two others were destined for a Quebec system which never paid for the buses. The buses were taken back by Paling and then sold, with SCT buying one of them. This bus had a Bailos sign installed in early 2000 and had some body work and repainting done in August 2000. The body work was done by Busex, with the repainting done at ETS's Paterson Garage. It then ran in service for no more than a few years before it was retired and picked up by the Strathcona County Fire Department for use as a rehab bus.
