Saw this floor in a 1966 SO 42 at CTS; I have not seen it elsewhere. I have some doubts whether it is original, despite the period correctness and patina:

I believe there were only two primary designs used (with possibly a 3rd on very early SO42's):

I've never seen the first pic you posted in any SO42/44's.

NLAVW has a pretty awesome repop coming:

If I hadn't already put the Armstrong flint in my bus this is what I would go with...

You’re right, it is not original.

Let me drop that piece of linoleum off at the recycling center for you.

The flooring in pillansii's pic does appear original, one of the three examples I posted above (albeit in a later model):

I have some remnants of what I know to be original '65 flooring and it looks very similar(but with more color variegation) to the right-hand section in this picture. I'll try and post a pic of it when I get home tonight.

Not much luck finding any of the samples above for my 65. However, I did find this at Home Depot and ordered some.

Hey "nestbedding",

Any chance you can let us know the brand/name of that linoleum at the H.D.? Maybe the SKU number. I want to drop by my local H.D. and check it out...

Close, but the color is way more green in the one I have and the pattern much more predictable with linear line/squares framing the mottled irregular dots. Curiouser and curiouser Wink

If anyone in the Colorado area needs a giant piece of the Armstrong Massimo Westy look a like vinyl, let me know! I have a huge extra piece after finishing the floor in my bus.

I saw that NLAVW is selling their repopped vinyl floor. Can someone please post a pic when they get their's. The pic on the site looked far more black than I recall so will be interested to see a better picture.

Like others, I'm interested in the NLA vinyl too, but to those of you who just ordered it from NLA, what was the cost added for the shipping across the Atlantic? I imagine that it would be cost prohibitive?
