Title: SOLVED: si_435 - Ikarus - 66 - Mobile Workshop - Görlitz - 1977
Post by: sichel on July 13, 2023, 06:41:33 PM
It should be possible to name the manufacturer and model. Obviously, someone has been given a new task. What was it? Where did the assignment take place? When did the conversion take place?
One point for the right solution.

66?

Post by: sichel on August 06, 2023, 07:42:22 AM
Yes, it's a '66. Locked for you for the second, probably more difficult part.

Is the bus in Hungary?
Maybe a canteen/support vehicle for a building company..
Title: Re: si_435
Post by: sichel on August 06, 2023, 02:17:34 PM
We are not in Hungary and this is not a canteen.
But there is a connection to the building trade.

Post by: sichel on August 07, 2023, 02:59:50 PM
No major emergency generator. Possibly small-scale power supply for electrical construction equipment.

Anything to do with trolleybuses?
Title: Re: si_435
Post by: sichel on August 21, 2023, 09:08:21 AM
No, they are diesel versions. There were never any trolleybuses at the place of use.

Tool dispensing bus?
Title: Re: si_435
Post by: sichel on August 21, 2023, 03:29:05 PM
That might have been one of the functions. Please describe the tasks/use in more detail. Locked for you.
Title: Re: si_435
Post by: fromwien on August 22, 2023, 04:07:43 AM
construction site service bus, equipped with tools, work-suits, etc.

Post by: sichel on August 22, 2023, 10:15:13 AM
Yes, after they had fulfilled their task in regular service, this Ikarus 66 and another one were converted into mobile repair bases for the local housing authority. It is already clear that this took place in the GDR, now only the year of the conversion is missing. Start guessing, the puzzle is still locked for you. Please be patient with my answers: Family reunion over several days.

So, I'll have a trial with mid-70s: 1975?
Title: Re: si_435
Post by: sichel on August 24, 2023, 06:45:33 AM
Take the middle of the two dates.
Title: Re: si_435

at the lower end, 1977
Title: Re: si_435
Post by: sichel on August 24, 2023, 03:40:06 PM
Yes, in 1977 two Ikarus 66 busses were converted into mobile workshops by the municipal apartment administration in Görlitz (Saxony, GDR).
Attached fotos from 1979/80. No informations about the busses after 1986.
Your next point.
