Thanks for the pics. Unfortunately, those buses will probably last longer over there than the new trolleys will here. They could have just used the same electrical equipment and put it in a standard new flyer bus shell (x40/60LFR) for 1/3 the price. That's what they did with the Brill trolley's electrical equipment when they got rid of them. It's also quite a common practice with trams and subways in Europe, where they use the same base drivetrain from decades ago (why fix something that isn't broken?)
