Actually the VK41's plodded on with factory air over hydraulic brakes, although in true pedestrian fashion they did the job. As for the leaf spring suspension, each Centre tour/express unit carried a spare front/rear main/wrap leaf pair, and every driver was versed on how to do the job! Here's an ex...

Here's a vivid reminder of the conditions facing operators and tourists alike back in the 1950s and 1960s, as we observe a Redline tour coach in western Queensland on its way to Central Australia. This was the then near new Denning VK41, fleet No 51. Pretty much the entirety of the 1960s saw Austral...

I've been gone from the board for some time Industry, so apologise for not seeing your post earlier....
Nearest I can get is it's likely Ex Redline Denning/Viking No 53.

A short clip separately featuring the two then rivals from a Qld Govt promo film about the state's roads....

Hi Looselion I’ve had some enquires from people asking about your welfare. Regards Robert Hi Robert, I apologize for going AWOL, but am happy to say I'm still around and have been leaning more towards personal family matters, which I can only say have been uplifting and joyful..... Writing the book...

Sad to report the passing of Col Arnold, one of Australia's national coach tour and transport industry's early on-board entertainment/communication innovators. Aged in his mid-80s, he passed away earlier this week of natural causes, after a short hospitalisation. He was a larger than life gregarious...

No 24, the very first air conditioned Denning coach.
Note Denning's first full width rear upper air chute which was complementary to the a/c installation.
Unsuccessful, however that's a longer story.....
Note also, the first ever installation of individual Admac reclining seats.

A novel topic..... This should extend over many posts through a long period.... I hope ATDB members will be on the lookout for this unit as they go about their business and record their sightings and any involvements. I hope all such resultant posts here will be positive...not only for her operator ...

Hey Centralian
You can walk into virtually any substantive bricks and mortar bookstore and order a copy....
It shouldn't take long for them to get it in, while the price will depend on the store I guess.

Many thanks for letting me know LB608.....
I hope you got a reasonable deal on purchase and shipping!

Hi all..... I want to be sure that everyone's aware that my 400 page book "Rex Law's Redline - The biggest Little Bus Co in Australia" is currently available in softcover format at Amazon Australia for AU$43.06 with free shipping. The Kindle E Book version is available for AU$8.36. If any ...

Hi aussieneil,
Nice photos, and I'm wondering how the wood frame has held up over the years.
I can confirm it was never with Redline.

Yep, Ted wouldn't have been enormously appreciated back at ATI HQ......especially with the AP name so prominently visible as well..... And a rather rare photo capture of the air breather snorkel fitted down back for dusty operations. Looks like all the expensive bits went under Tim....I assume the u...

Hi Tim. I hope you enjoy the book. Where can I find the photo of the soggy PD4106.....? Cheers, Glenn.

So much was happening during those years Richard, and I had no first hand knowledge of Bill and Doreen's early involvement with Redline. I must get hold of a copy myself....many thanks for sharing that little bit of history.

I greatly appreciate the support!

Because of issues like above, I'm now reviving earlier attempts to have the book concurrently printed locally, which will allow me to stock and retail copies Australia and NZ wide via my own website, www.glennalaw.com which has been undeveloped and sitting dormant until now. This will also allow me ...

It appears to Lyndhurst in 1969 Yes, Brazell's garage gives it away for me. This was in northern South Australia, where the Strzalecki Track and the Oodnadatta Track came together, close to the old Ghan railway line. I can't decide which Redline unit it was......although very few were fitted with t...

Maybe you should go to the top of the board index, where you will find a category "New Users/Ask a Simple Question" where you can ask your question and be pretty sure of getting a helpful answer. Hope this helps....
