6648 is at Landover as I think a rodeo bus.

1912 is an old look GM,  1461 is a new look painted(badly) in the second paint scheme, 9112 is an RTS and 8703 are all museum buses which  might be based out of Bladensburg.  I thought they were going to keep 5119 a 1983 MAN artic, but it doesn't look so and I guess they gave up on the AMG they had and also 1403 or some other 1400 series they were going to have as part of their historic fleet.

1400 was in Bladensburg years ago when it was still a division and overhaul center. It was stripped down to basically nothing. They said it was going to be restored. But, I don't think it happened. 1400 was the first TDH5304. It was the only one left in service with bi-fold center doors.1461 should have had the aluminum restored or painted aluminum applied it doesn't look right with theall white body and 1st generation livery.

Also note Metrobus 1912 was originally Baltimore Transit 1912. It was owned by George knarr. Charlie Neal has it's cousin 1909.
