Here are a couple of interior photos of #3718 a few years after it's retirement after it was kept around for awhile for unknown reasons.  When I find my exterior photos of this bus, I will add them to this photo gallery when time permits. Photos captured in December of 1997 by Peter McLaughlin.

#3787 is seen in downtown Vancouver on a layover at the Burrard Skytrain Station in April of 1992 before departing as a route 32 Dunbar Loop. These photos were edited to be black & white images as they were under exposed due to a dead battery in my Pentax K1000 camera that I had at the time. The light meter would show as perfect lighting when the battery was dead giving incorrect readings of which I was not aware of right away until after these images were captured.  Photos captured by Peter McLaughlin.

#4787 is seen parked by the Burnaby Transit Centre overhaul shops probably shortly after being renumbered to 4787 from 5734 before being moved to the North Vancouver Transit Centre. Photo captured by Alan Mihatov in April of 1990. This bus would later be renumbered yet again to 3787 and transferred from NVTC to Oakridge Transit Centre and then soon after that it would be retired around 1992 or 1993.

#5730 is seen resting at the Burnaby Transit Centre in April of 1990 in this image captured by Alan Mihatov.  This bus was converted to operate on Natural Gas or Diesel with the flip of a switch which could be done even while the bus was in motion. An operator driving this bus demonstrated that to me while I was out for a ride on this very buis one day.  Note the extra fuel access door right ahead of the rear wheel well which was there to fuel the CNG tanks.
