After 10 months of existence, The Winsenburg Modern style repaint has become almost the go to repaint for the map Winsenburg. It is new, fresh, clear, uniform and nice looking. But of course, as the name suggests, it is modern. And as I got so many requests for a repaint for the O407, I doubted. The bus isn't a good example for the modern bus category, and I thought: "How can I make the repaint so it fit's in the story of the [Sta:Win] company?". So I looked at examples of colour schemes that real life buscompany's used on their O407 fleet. The original style of the repaint that came with Winsenburg was something that I passed a few times, and it made a total sense. The story:
At the end of the 90's, [Sta:Win] wanted a new bus fleet. Low floor, wide doors, fuel efficient. With this step from high floor busses to low floor busses, the executives also wanted a new look for the fleet. The old light gray and white-orange was a bit outdated. So the designers went to work and started with brighten the colours, giving them more contrast. The colours were switched so the bus was almost fully orange. This makes them so recognisable from far away. And to break the big, orange polygon on the sides for a bit, the iconic dot's were born.
To make this new style familiar to the public, the old O407 busses were already repainted to this new style. The 10 Express busses were painted in an "Alt wird Neu" advert campaign to let the public know that the bus company didn't change. These busses are ofcourse replaced with the Metrobusses a few years later.
So that is the story that made the O407 fit in this repaint pack. Included in version 4.0 are four different versions. Two old style repaints, one "Alt wird Neu" repaint and one modern repaint. This can be extended in the future. Oh, and there is also a bonus included in this update. You will find out what in the changelog :).
Winsenburg is one of my favorite maps at the moment. The only thing that I didn't liked that much are the repaints. So I decided to make some new, modern, high quality repaints that give the busses a whole new look. The repaints came out really well and give the map just that final touch. Included are seven repaints, an ai-list and an edited hof file for chura-Vollmatrix (Krüger+) displays

Old solo bus O407
The style that was in service for almost 20 years. There were many of these in service all over Winsenburg. With their orange front bumpers and doors. These series feature plastic seats with orange fabric. The busses were repainted to the new modern style in 1999, a year before the first Citaro went into service.
High floor solo bus O407
The last, high floor bus series in service. In 1999 repainted and re-fabriced to the new [Sta:Win] style. The last bus went off service in 2002, making the fleet of Winsenburg fully low floor.
Standard solo bus Urbino 12
In a town where the economy rests mostly on the Mercedes-Benz plants, the solaris busses are a bit out of the ordinary. But European public tenders made the Sta:win order the polish busses. The Urbino 12 is a citybus in every aspect. It has a wide interior, two double doors and some other citybus things. But the most important of all, the paint is the same as other Sta:Win busses. So who cares! Oh and the bus has wifi, so have fun driving it!
Low Entry solo bus Urbino 12
To increase passenger comfort, Sta:Win also ordered Low entry models for the longer bus lines. These busses have more seats, out swinging doors and a full front wind shield. Not so suitable for the busy lines.
Standard solo bus C2
The new C2 solo busses will be present on the fourteen citybus lines and are similar to the (old) O530 busses. The gray and orange colours and the gray dot's aren't changed. But these new C2 busses will feature some extra details like the back of the seats are coloured orange, the flour has some small orange dots. This all adds to the brand colours and give the bus a unique look and feel.
Standard solo bus O530
The fourteen citybus lines will be driven by 2-door solo busses. These busses can be recognised by the dark-gray front and the full-orange sides with gray dots. Included are also three custom ads on the back side of the bus for extra realism.
Standard Articulated bus Urbino 18
The same as the 12 meter version, but then 18 meters long! Also equipped with wifi
Standard Articulated bus C2
The same style as the solo bus. But longer. This bus comes with the same level of detail as used in the solo C2 bus.
Standard Articulated bus O530G
The same style as the solo bus. But longer. This bus isn't used in the ai list because the articulated busses can be buggy sometimes. But as player you can use this repaint for the citybus lines. This bus only comes in a normal version without ads on the back.
Standard Nightbus C2
For the eight nightbus lines in Winsenburg you can use this repaint. The interior is the same as the other standard citybusses. The outside is still recognizable by the gray and orange colours, but the blue colour on the side clearly shows the difference between a normal bus. The gray dots on the side are darker and there is a big "Nachtbus" logo on the side in the same style as the metrobus. Perfect for your midnight road trips. Unfortunately is the AI not using this repaint on nightbusses because they don't have a separate ai group. So this repaint is also only for the player.
Standard Articulated Nightbus C2
The same style as the solo nightbus but longer!
Standard Nightbus O530
For the eight nightbus lines in Winsenburg you can use this repaint. The interior is the same as the other standard citybusses. The outside is still recognizable by the gray and orange colours, but the blue colour on the side clearly shows the difference between a normal bus. The gray dots on the side are darker and there is a big "Nachtbus" logo on the side in the same style as the metrobus. Perfect for your midnight road trips. Unfortunately is the AI not using this repaint on nightbusses because they don't have a separate ai group. So this repaint is also only for the player.
High floor old Express-bus O407
Till 1997, Winsenburg had two express-bus lines. These were high comfort, quick connections with the city centre. The local government introduced them to make the city centre more attractive for the surrounding villages of Winsenburg. In 1997, the bus company decided to convert those two lines in to normal bus services. This meant that the 10 Express-busses were combined in normal service. In 1999 the 10 busses were repainted with the advert campain "Alt wird Neu". At the end of 2000, they reached their life cycles and were put out of service. One and a half year later, the Metrobus network was introduced as the successor of the Express-bus.
High floor "Alt wird Neu" O407
To make the new style familiar to the public, the 10 Express busses were painted in an "Alt wird Neu" advert campaign to let the public know that the bus company didn't change. The front part of the bus was completely in the old [Sta:Win] style, but the rear part of the bus was painted in the new modern style. Even the luxury coach seats were half old style, half new style.
Metrobus Urbino 12 solo
Ordered as backup busses, they aren't that suitable for the metrobus lines. It is basicly a citybus with another colour. But you love it when the other busses break down.
Metrobus Urbino 12 Low Entry Ü
If you need to pick a 12 meter bus, pick this one. It has the most seat capacity and is the most comfy to! It's the perfect solo metrobus, great for late night trips or sunday evenings! Your passengers will like it.
Metrobus C2 solo
The five metrobus lines are the biggest link in the bus network of Winsenburg. In order to make them stand out from other busses, they've got their own repaint.

The C2 busses have got a luxury interior with wooden parquet floor, black headrests on the seat that matches the seat colour better, orange line on the back of the seat to accent the metrobus style, custom stickers on the exterior and interior and StaWin advertising.
