Another kit just finished, this one is now over 12 years old and had been in my stash for six before I eventually got around to starting it! It was the first cream resin kit produced by PSG Models, an Irizar Century-bodied Scania K124 tri-axle, and despite its age is of better quality and easier to build than some later kits. Registered EYL 519, it is an executive class coach in the Quicksilver fleet.

Introduced in 1996 as an upmarket two seater Grand Tourer, and designed by Lorenzo Ramaciotti at Pininfarina. The 550 used a front-engine, rear-wheel drive transaxle layout, with the 6-speed gearbox located at the rear axle together with the limited slip differential. The chassis was a tubular steel space frame, to which the aluminium body panels were soldered. The slippery body had a drag coefficient of 0.33, suspension was of the double wishbone type with coaxial coil spring and damper units on all four corners, and anti-roll bars front and rear. The steering was rack and pinion with variable power assist. The vented disc brakes were 330 mm (13.0 in) at the front and 310 mm (12.2 in) at the rear. Magnesium alloy was used for the 18-inch wheels.
The engine is a naturally aspirated 65° V12 with 4 valves per cylinder, dual overhead cams and a variable length intake manifold. It displaced 5,473.91 cc producing 478hp.
Many thanks for a fantabulous

This is part of the axle of the Deutz V6M536r diesellocomotive I'm restoring.
On February 24, 2016, my friend and business partner David Kane took me to visit the Nevada Southern/Nevada State Railroad Museum in Boulder City, Nevada. Naturally, I walked out and forgot my camera, so the next couple of days will be all cell phone foam.
NSRM NW2 1000 (ex-UP 1000, xx-SN 607, xxx-WP 607, xxxx-STE 1000, xxxxx-UP 1000, nee-EMC 889). This well-traveled NW2 was built in 1939 as EMC demonstrator #889. It served a six-month demo period with the Union Pacific and at the end of that term, UP bought the unit and numbered it #1000. This made it the first ever diesel-electric unit purchased by UP and over the next two years, UP would purchase another 44 NW2s. The unit was retired by UP in 1966 and sold to Stockton Terminal & Eastern. STE eventually traded the unit to the Western Pacific, who completely rebuilt it. WP transfered the unit to subsidiary Sacremento Northern. After the WP-UP merger, the unit returned to UP ownership for the first time in nearly 20 years. It was retired by UP again in 1984 and came to the Nevada State Railroad Museum in 1993. The musuem currently has plans to repaint the unit into it's original black paint scheme.
While at the museum, I got to participate in their Engineer for an Hour program, thanks to my buddy David, and this was the unit I got drive. I feel very lucky to have gotten to sit at the controls of this historic engine.

Over a cup of tea it was decided to remove the front axle. So the axle stands and jacks came back out and I carefully set about lifting the front of the bus and placing the axle stands. Brian made short work of removing both the front wheels.
Austin Twelve Four (12-4) Ascot Saloon (1932-36) Engine 1535cc S4

Registration Number AVX 593 (Essex)

The Austin Light Twelve-Four was produced over two generations from 1933 until 1939 when it was replaced by a completely new car also called the Austin 12 which kept the same engine. The "12" in the name referred to the taxation horsepower, a British rating which controlled the annual taxation payable to use the car on the road
The first generation 12-4 was introduced in September 1932, powered by a 1535 cc side-valve, four-cylinder engine with 24 bhp output coupled to a four-speed "crash" gearbox at first, but a new transmission with synchromesh on third and top speed appeared in 1934 and then also on second in 1935. The new car shared the same chassis as the previous six cylinder Austin 12-6.This chassis was very conventional, with semi-elliptic leaf springs on all wheels and rigid axles front and rear. Wire wheels were fitted until 1937 when they were replaced with pressed steel ones. At launch there was a choice of a pressed steel six-light (three windows on each side) saloon called the Harley and a two-seat tourer. A second saloon style with a boot, the Ascot, was added in 1934 and the Harley was dropped in 1935. In the same year the chromium-plated radiator shell was replaced by one painted in body colour. The very early cars had their side lights mounted on the scuttle, but these soon moved to the tops of the wings.
The 12-4 Ascot was replaced in August 1936 by the New Ascot, a major update for the 1937 model year. The bodies became much more rounded, the engines were moved forward on the chassis to improve passenger space and the cars had an adjustable steering column and the windscreen wipers moving to the scuttle from the top of the screen.

An example of when a railroad VP and President act like a child in a store checkout line and sees something that they "just have to have". That's exactly what the two SD70M-2's the P&W purchased were. Oh, they had big plans for them, putting them on the stone trains to New York, ethanol trains. First problem was they were too big to fit Metro North's clearances under the wire. So into the shop they went and had the number boards lowered and the radiator fans changed to low profile fans. Now the big problem, getting cab signals and Acses installed. Shouldn't be a big deal, right? Well, getting installed was more of a project then you would think. First the computer in the engines didn't have software for cab signals in use on Amtrak / Metro North (They had cab signals, but for the FEC system......and I'm quite sure the FEC removed it before sending them back to the lessor). And as far as the Acses there had been no software written that was compatible (or so I was told, maybe there is software out there for the Acses that work with the EMD computer, possible cost big dollars) so, in the shop it sat while a contractor literally traced wires for weeks so he could figure out how to get the cab / Acses to function. The Mets remeasured the engine and it now fit the clearance envelope.....just fit. By inches. But now because of their weight (these are heavy girls at 410,000 lbs.) Metro North placed speed restrictions on them. It all came to a head on March 6, 2017 when a conductor was injured while on the Mets, due to close clearance (remember, they cleared by inches). By then G&W was calling the shots, and they prohibited the 4301-4302 from going out on Metro North. With their original purpose taken away, G&W is now going to send them to the B&P. The money that was flushed down the crapper P&W could have picked up probably four SD40-2's in working order and still had money left over. But I digress.......... The Connecticut Southern found itself short a six axle unit. And since the P&W is "part of the family" the 4301 was moved to the CSOR for a spell. Here she is leading a short CSO-1 through Windsor, Ct. Oh, and the Albatross moniker? I coined that after the constant issue after issue after issue with these engines. Like a Albatross around the railroad's neck, a burden that feels like a curse.
Throughout the 1980s the freight test team used a 2-axle van (ADC201055) that was often seen attached to the non-observation end of Test Car 1 during dynamic test runs. This wagon was originally a standard British Rail Railfreight (TOPS code VDA) 24.5 tonne capacity, 20ft 9inch wheelbase van, design code VD001C built in Shildon in 1976 under Lot 3856. It was one of a batch of one hundred VDA vans fitted with disc brakes, a taperleaf spring design (designated FAT13 Taperlite type suspension) and a designed maximum operating speed of 75 mile/h. The wagon was transferred to the DM&EE test department in the early 1980s and designated TOPS code ZXA.

Quicksilver operate two tri-axle Volvo B12T/Plaxton Excaliburs and there is now a similar vehicle in the associated Padbus collection. 188 (OC51 CDR) is the newest vehicle currently owned and the first to feature the chequerboard livery introduced in the early 2000s to replace the previous yellow and green. It is superbly built and you can't see the join, but the interior moulding has managed to work its way out of place and is now sitting too high - I don't want to risk damaging the model by attempting to get inside and fix it though.

Broken rear axle from my old Raleigh bicycle, broken at the bearing retainer. A very rare problem on a bicycle, but my friend has the same model Raleigh and the same thing happened to him. Lucky I was traveling slow when it happened because the wheel dislodged from the frame and wedged back into the frame seizing the wheel. Needless to say I was not looking for a Raleigh this time.
I haven't seen this vehicle of Excetera's before, and most certainly was not expecting to see it in revenue earning service!
Buses Excetera tri-axle Olympian J960 TBW (I don't know if it has a fleet number?) loads passengers at Redhill bus station on the 32X special service.
It links Redhill, Reigate and Dorking with Brockham for the annual Brockham Bonfire event.
It is a major operation, and Excetera had fourteen buses out tonight.
