Wow...brings back memories of the old days...they were my favorite bus...the sound of the diesel engines the air release noises great technology fantastic.. it's sad that we don't have them in Queensland anymore. I remember in the 80s and 90s catching one for school.. they do such a fine job restoring them to perfect operation.. love the pneumatic gear system... I also restore the shifters for them great fun....

They were indeed great buses to ride on back in their heyday. Pure mechanical.

Was this old bus en route to somewhere or simply out on a random drive?
