Re: AES Ticket Validators

You need a base plate for the green machine. Then you can tap into/re-wire the wires that would connect the base plate to the bus' battery for power. It will make powering it up much easier. Thanks for that, at least it points me in the right direction for now. Would you be able to suggest anywhere...

Re: Any pics of Merc Mk4 2769 at the Mercedes Benz Museum in Germany?

I would assume judging by '3/94' that it was at the Museum in 1994, so based off that information it would have been about 10 years old at the time, and it appears to have been withdrawn at Waverley in 2011, so one can only assume if I am right that it was a temporary exhibit. Search "m/o 2769&...

Re: AES Ticket Validators

G'day, I have also acquired one of these machines, brings back many memories, and am keen to get it to work again both for personal reasons and for my year 12 major work in art. At the moment I'm trying to figure out how to actually get power into the machine, as the plug looks quite unique as you'l...

Re: Tragic Damage to a Rare Bus Model

I've recently had an issue regarding Australia Post with OZBus 20002 where they we're rough with it and the mirror was broken off so I told them that it had clearly been handled roughly so they asked me to bring it in for an inspection which I did and now they are refusing to give it back to me so I...

That is a very fine idea! I'll have to find them, but it shouldn't be too long before I get them all together, and when I do, I'll email them to you. Only issue is that as the models are made by Jonathan Stewart (ATDB Username is Mr. Bean) so just because it's a good thing to do, maybe just check wi...

Re: Deckers on T80 and M92 and others

Would it not make more sense to put the bendys on the T-Way routes? The benefit of using deckers has been covered in two threads now - seats! They should save the (three-door) artics for services like Bondi Beach and the 400. The Gong shuttle sure could use them too. Some of these services like Bon...

Unsure if this is the case with other STA Depots but V and F have been cleaning their buses wheels to the point where they're that shiny you could use them as a mirror or headlights on a sunny day. At first it was just the artics that were getting this done but then all the standard guys joined in. ...

Re: STA Observations - November 2017

Personally I think that a nice, loud, musical ZF is always nice, as demonstrated by the Scania K280UB CB80's and Volvo B12BLE CB60's and CB60 Evo II's. When the engine gives a little bit of a roar to the sound as well is always beautiful. My personal favourites would have to be the ZF 5HP552C Automa...

Re: STA Observations - September 2017

Well, I seem to like those buses (Volvo CB60) a bit more now. They're a bit like the MF67 of Sydney - so many of them, yet also, so many variants with slight visual differences. My personal favourite is actually the oldest, the 15__ series. Very dim, often broken, lighting for a dark interior. Some...

Re: 2790ST in Maroubra 02/01/17

I have seen 2790 in that particular AOA a few times. You know what would be really ironic and kind of funny, is if someone caused 2790 to have an accident or incident because they were doing the complete exact opposite to what the AOA on 2790 tells you to do around and on buses!
