Ex Charles Sturt University O405NH's 6089MO and 6090MO are the two latest additions to the Busabout Wagga Wagga fleet. Both of these units were ordered by Kings Bro's but never delivered.

I would like to also take the opportunity to congratulate TAA727 on his latest addition to his collection and I wish you all the best for 3291's future.

Couldn't agree more Daniel!

As for TOPS, we're not looking at preserving any MAN's at this moment in time.

Here's a selection of photos showcasing the end of an era for STA's Mercedes Benz O405 MK V's and MAN SL202's. http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8522/8512964700_e5e047402f_b.jpg Waverley MK V 3232 http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8240/8511855873_2a69d1f746_b.jpg Randwick SL202 3295 http://farm9.staticflick...

As most of you are probably aware, the Countrylink XPT service from Sydney to Melbourne was replaced by coaches due to the train breaking apart at Seymour on the 1st August. I have provided a link to the ATSB summary of the incident. http://www.atsb.gov.au/publications/investigation_reports/2012/rai...

Hello Fearnes-3848, Thanks for posting the photos of the mighty Atlantean. She looks an absolute treat. Sincere congratulations to you and the lads down there at the Society for your hard work and preserving these old buses and presenting them in what I see, immaculate condition. They give me much ...

Sounds like a good turnout - what were the attractions apart from the roundhouse ? The buses operated between Railway Square, The Junee Licorice and Chocolate Factory, The Broadway Museum / Athenium Theatre, Monte Christo, Junee Roundhouse Museum and Junee Tourist Information Centre and there was p...

Here is a selection of photos which I took during the Junee Rhythm and Rail Festival a few weeks back, the society ran free shuttles around Junee which linked all of the main tourist attractions and venues for the festival. We produced a timetable and operated 3 separate routes, route 190 (which was...

Wow, it looks very impressive, it would be nice to see one make it's way over the border into NSW !

Excellent photos venturatiger, my favourite McCafferty's livery was always the gold, it was a common sight to see them pass through Wagga after the takeover by Greyhound

Here is a leopard that has had MkV front and rear applied .. but kept the bi-fold front door .. Operated by Voyager .. This Leopard is one of the 3 ex PTC Leopards which were remodelled by PMC for Fearnes Coaches, m/o 1071 was ex Fearnes MO 0302 (ex UTA 1703). If you refer to my original post in th...

How ironic is that !

TV 572 was a Denning Mono GM 6v71 new as m/o 5933 body 368 dated 16/5/72. m/o 5711 was an Albion Viking AVK43 - GM body 289 dated 1/12/70 - later became TV 438. m/o 055 was a Denning Mono GM 6v71 new as m/o 5937, then to m/o 055, then to TV 503, body 369 16/6/72. I can't see the registration of the...

The fourth photo and the sixth photo, what chassis were those coaches? Peta. The fourth photo looks like it's an Albion Viking VK43 with a Denning body, im not sure what kind of chassis is pictured in the 6th photo, Atlantean 1016 or Leopard_071 will know but it could possibly be a Albion Viking VK...

I just had a random thought of requesting some photos of two of the ex Fearnes Isuzu's during their days at Baxters Girraween, would anyone possibly have photos of (73) m/o 8840 and (72) m/o 8821, thanks in advance

Interesting comparison NLF, very interesting

I do like B7RLE's but if I had a choice of vehicle to take out on a shift, I would take the MK II, provided it was not a scorcher of a day of course

There are seven C44aci locomotives CEY1-CEY7 which are owned and operated by Centennial coal which operate 12 mines around the Blue mountains and the Newcastle and Hunter areas.So these three locos would of been going to Clarence Colliery near Lithgow.

There was an article about the new CEY's in the December Motive Power magazine, they have been built for Southern Shorthaul Railroad (SSR), I will be able to give some more details when I get it out of my car in the morning

I have seen a couple of photos appear on the board before of Custom Coaches 550 body's which have had CC 510 front replacements, they look great compared to the original front end, I have got some photos of the Fearnes ex government Leopards which were remodelled by PMC and also the two that got don...

Is it stick shift or Allison? I'm guessing it has Cummins straight out of the crate and is a very basic chassis form the school of Iveco with easy to obtain and less expensive off the shelf parts. Oh , I take it this bus is steel sprung. They all have Allison auto's and all of the Fearnes units wer...
