Hi everyone just recently I uploaded some pictures of my BCA/Ken Magor Collection CD, of the now extinct King Bros Bus Goup. These pictures were taken based in Kempsey and some pictures still show the Kempsey bus service livery before being changed after they we purchesed by Kings.
Unfortunatily the chassie's and bodies of the buses are unkown, if anyone could help me out with this it would be appreaciated.
THANKS VERY MUCH TO THE BCA FOR GIVING ME THE AUTHORISATION TO UPLOAD PICTURES FROM THE BCA/KEN MAGOR COLLECTION CD ONTO THIS FORUM.
This is one of the first buses to be branded with the kings logo.

MO3624 is an Albion Viking Vk55 / Nambucca River Engineeering (5A 14/12/74) B52F body. It was sold to Taree BS (Ray McBriarty) by 1/82 and later went with those runs to Eggins.

MO 3111 was Bedford SB with a Star Bros body - an old body fitted onto a new chassis about 1960.

Re: KING BROS BUS GROUP IN THE BEGINNING
I dont think that you should be associating the original "Kings Bus Service" with "King Bros". Doesnt do justice to the founders!
Thanks

That is because they are old 2007 format links which no longer work. To be able to view them the links would need to be reformatted.
