Title: Scenicruiser registry update
Post by: pd4501-771 on December 11, 2018, 12:28:45 PM
I have not completely updated my registry since 2009. (started registry in 1997) I have been working on updates for the last several months. My roster book had probably 50 sticky note edits that needed added. I had to go through individual email folders I have set up for each known s/n.  I still have to check my files at home to see if I missed any auction/craigslist print-offs. I now have an updated Excel spreadsheet.
In 2009, I had a total of 212, including 26 seated coaches. In 2018, I have a total of 209, including 36 seated coaches. I used very conservative numbers this time, and only included s/n that I felt strongly I could still verify. Many of the previous entries I have are very old, and can not necessarily be verified as accurate anymore. I did not count any "parts" buses, that most likely will not see the road again. In the last several years, I have been estimating the total surviving number at about 325+ or -. As it turns out, that was too optimistic, and not really realistic. The bad news: less survive in total, Good news: more seated coaches survive. I will try to provide more timely updates, as things change. As always, if you know about a 4501, please let me know. Thanks
