Bus 339 would sound very nice with a 9 litre CAT motor in it. This bus has a Volvo B10M 9.6 litre strait 6 cylinder in it. I love the sound of these old Volvo motors. I would love to see the motor in them.
I didn't realise they were all being withdrawn so subtly over the past 18 months and then all of a sudden the rest are disappearing at an alarming rate. A lot going to Sydney, some have gone to Melbourne and Adelaide. Hopefully some B10Ms will stay in QLD in some capacity and still being used regularly.
Sean Zappulla yup, Volvo THD101GC 245HP 9.6-litre in-line 6-cylinder turbo diesel in this one. I wonder what it would sound like with a CAT engine though, but I do like these Volvo ones
What, those new boring Volvo and MAN buses with Voith DIWA 864.5 + SensoTop and ZF EcoLife? I'd take these older ones any day, although Scania's K280UBs are good

+Jordan farrar Not only that, they're not wheelchair-accessible, and they've already approached 21 years of age. The replacements for these Volvo B10Ms are wheelchair-accessible Volvo B7RLEs with Voith or ZF EcoLife gearboxes, Euro 5 or EEV engines, and Volgren CR228L (1801 - 2071)/Volgren Optimus bodywork (2072-2220)
Sadly that's the way that public transport is going, due to the new Euro 6 standards coming into play now. I definitely agree though, new boxes on wheels are quite boring now...
WOW! possibly 1 of the best loudest ZF 4HP gearboxes ive ever heard!

Please note that this bus is outdated now. We now have smoother and more modern busses. But these busses are still being used.

CONGRATS on 1,000 videos!
May there be another one, or two. :)
Which two were rockets? No 321 will always have a special memory for me.
It's been quite a few years that I now don't remember! TransitBris or Brisbaneguy41 might know
Thanks, i might check my records also.

They had to get rid of them cause there not environmentally friendly like the new ones

Now Brisbane is left with all boxes on wheels basically, booooooring.

***** Times change way too quickly,I guess.Meanwhile,a day's flight from Australia,Euro 6 is in full swing and it's pretty hit and miss.
