From memory, AEC Decker thinks MKIVs 2861, 2865, 2995 & 3002 were new to Waverley. :D
Some of Waverley's 287x MKIVs operated as Eastern Suburbs Explorers in their early life. :shock:

Here is Dave Wilson's vantage point for his "aerial" photos. :twisted:

Like the lean on 3121 and 2861 looks great for an earlier overhaul also.
Re 3287 & 3212, haven't seen too many shots of MKVs & MANs together either. Great coverage as always

I think I'd be a little scared to be on 3121 with the way that it's leaning...

Thanks,

Possibly, but probably not.

It would be leaning whichever way it makes the turn because the road it is turning off is going downhill. Not that scary if you were on the bus, just looks scary to the outside observer.
