AOAs in Perth
Just a few Double takes of buses that i put together from this weeks travels.
Firstly TP3002 found yesterday laying over at the busport.With my trusty steed for the day in front. Then there was 1831 at WSBS showing of her new AOA of ACDC. And finaly i managed to catch that "Tiger" roaming around on Perths streets with other domesticated "Cats".

Re: Double takes
Well done on taking the happy snaps on these buses 'High Floor Bus' You must've had prefect timing finding these buses on the same day.

Re: Double takes
The Rear on 3002 is actually the standard Citelis Rear. Because it has a Transverse mounted engine, it was easier to use that rather than have Custom Coaches try and remodel the back (at cost).
If it's not a ZF, take it back!

Re: Double takes
Not only transverse (i.e. east-west) engine direction, but vertical engine cylinders (as opposed to horizontal 'boxer-style') as well, hence the rear 'port hole' instead of your usual full-sized window.Bus-1809 wrote:The Rear on 3002 is actually the standard Citelis Rear.

Re: Double takes
at least the upright configuration will prevent oil from pooling in the casting depressions as was such that led to the fires on the gas buses
As for me, give me liberty, or give me death!
