Olympic Green Landscaping. I took some photos today of some of my property maintenance contracts. Victoria B.C. Canada
Enviro 200 MMC YX18KWU, YW68PFG/J/F in this photo before they enter service. Brand new for their upcoming Solihull TfWM contracts, Silverline have taken 7 new MMC200s, alongside their existing one YX18KWU. 6 were noted on this day, with the outstanding example due in the coming days, before most enter service on February 25th (a few will operate the Sunday A7/8 service the day before). This is a big expansion for this small firm, who until now have only ever had a few service routes, currently just the S10 (to be A10) though previously the 36 and S9. All of the new routes have been won from Rotala Diamond, who will only operate the 30 and A1/2 routes, with Johnsons having won the 82 and 88/A, also with brand new 68 plate MMC200s.

New in dealer stock white, their existing Enviro 200 MMC has gained the more executive grey livery used on their coaches. It now has 7 new sisters, to operate alongside it on the upcoming Solihull TfWM Route contracts A3-8. These were formerly under Rotala Diamond operation, and it is a big step up for passengers, and Silverline who previously has one route (S10) and some contracts.
So, let me start by making posting the story of Valiant:
Valiant, an Ascendant Lord, built like a castle, with high defense, and average mobility,
It is feared by it’s massive strength and usually, 1 hit from him is all that is needed to win.
Its pilot usually goes around with his son, who he is training to be the next pilot of Valiant. The Son, born blind, can only see when attached to the valiant, which makes this story even darker...
Valiant was seen as a threat, so Joker was contracted to eliminate it...which he did, but left the son alive, he does not kill if it is not on contract.
-- Build comment --
So, I got some new pieces, and I wanted to rebuild Valiant, but I got this idea of making a dynamic plot series, and this gave me the chance.
BTW, I did update the Joker’s design, Let me know if you want new photos of it.
Hope you like it.
Rotala, Diamond Bus, ex Hansons Local Bus 31102 YY15NHO aka ‘The Belbroughton Flyer’ Alexander Dennis bodied Enviro200 based at the Kidderminster depot at the time. It was originally new to Hansons Local Bus as 2150 for the 318 from Stourbridge - Bromsgrove. Now owned by Diamond Bus it is seen at the top of Grange Road with a 287 to Merry Hill with driver Rob at the wheel this photo was taken in the last few weeks of the route. The route has been replaced by NXWM new 28 service.
Wearing the remnants of its DRS livery from its former life as the dedicated locomotive for the Pretendolino contract, DB Cargo Class 90 no. 90034 leads DB Cargo liveried classmate no. 90036, 'Driver Jack Mills', south at Cathiron working 4M25 Mossend- Daventry WH Malcolm liner on 4th September 2020.
The Class 90 locomotives were introduced between 1987 and 1990 for use on both freight trains and passenger trains. 50 locomotives were produced by BREL at Crewe Works for use on the West Coast Mainline. The locomotives have a top speed of 110mph and are fitted with thyristor controls instead of the traditional tap-changers which their predecessors used. 26 locomotives were soon dedicated to Freight Traffic and were renumbered as Class 90/1 with their top speed limited to 75mph and ETH isolated. 90001- 90015 were operated by Intercity on express trains from Euston, 90016-90020 were operated by Rail Express Systems on travelling post office trains and 90021-90050 were ran by Railfreight Distribution on Freight trains with 90021-90024 remaining as Class 90/0 locos for possible rescue use or work on passenger trains. Upon privatisation of British Rail 90001- 90015 went to Virgin Trains for use on WCML express workings, 90016- 90040 went to EWS and 90041- 90050 went to Freightliner. The first change to this came in 2004 as Virgin Trains began to retire locomotive hauled series, 90001- 90015 were progressively transferred to Anglia for use on express trains out of London Liverpool Street replacing the ageing Class 86/2s that were in use on services at that time. Initially, the Class 90 locomotives were unreliable and a few 86s remained in use however, by 2006 reliability had significantly improved and the 15 90s had taken over the service.
The next change came when 90050 caught fire in late 2004, it was placed in storage and Freightliner hired in 90016 to replace it. During this time 90016's lease has became permanent and the loco has been painted in Freightliner's Green livery.
Several of the DB locos are stored out of use at the electric depot in Crewe with at least one example having a tree growing out of it. 90016, 90041, 90046 are painted in Freightliner Green, 90047, 90048 and 90050 are painted in Freightliner Grey. 90042, 90043, 90045 and 90049 are painted in Freightliner Powerhaul, 90044 is in the Freightliner G&W orange and black livery.
In January 2015, 90042 returned to service. In April 2015, DBS started to run pairs of class 90 locomotives on trains previously operated by class 92s.
In late 2019, the arrival of the FLIRT units on the Great Eastern Mainline resulted in the Greater Anglia Class 90s becoming redundant. 90001 and 90002 were transferred to Locomotive Services Limited in Crewe. 90003-90015 have been transferred to Freightliner.
This is one of my original lawn contracts. I've been maintaining this lawn since the mid 90's. We just power raked and top seeded this lawn three weeks ago so it will be a few more weeks until it's in it's best condition. I'll be fertilizing these lawns next week too. No photo editing on these photos either. I'm just really happy with how they are taking shape. 😃
I hope everyone has a great weekend as well.
Amongst First Cymru's contract gains from April this year is Service 320 (Talbot Green-Pendoylan-Peterston-Super-Ely-St Fagans-Cardiff), a one bus working operated for the Vale of Glamorgan Council, and previously in the hands of Adventure Travel.
Operated from Bridgend depot, the usual performers are a pair of elderly 8.9m Alexander Dennis E20Ds, 44907 and 44928. Whilst 09-plate 44907 is to standard Firstbus specification, 44928 is a bit of an odd bod. She transferred from First Eastern Counties in November 2022 and is fitted with distinctive gasket glazing. She started her days as one of a trio new to S M Travel of Harlow, passing to Ensignbus in 2012 and then on to FEC later that year.
Allocated to Swansea Ravenhill depot when first transferred, her Swansea and the bay fleetnames were removed upon re-allocation to Bridgend but without replacements. This is illustrated in this June 2024 shot taken in Cardiff City Centre as she turns into Wood Street to start the return journey to Talbot Green.
I saw a picture of this ex Australian Army Scammell Contractor tank transporter that'd been converted to a tipper here on Flickr around 2011, and when I was on holiday there in 2018 I decided to see if the 1971 built machine was still around.
With not much time or information I managed to track it down even though it'd moved location to a coal mine which was impossible to access without induction training!
Never mind, at least the old girl was parked fairly near the fence!
A young Mt Goat kid negotiates a model contract with the photographer, Dennis E Kirkland. I have had many people ask me if I had ever had close encounters with the wildlife I have photographed. The answer is yes, but I usually don't have someone (in this case, my wife) photographing me while I have these encounters...they are great fun! Best viewed large. All rights reserved.
Tony was never gonna give up the secret recipe behind his famous spaghetti sauce...and so he had to die.
Actually, this is just an outake to a series/story I'm working on called "Madame Mayhem". Stay tuned.

Seen parked up at Golders Green is R&I Coaches 207. This Ford Iveco / Robin hood minibus is working on the newly won contract for route 268.
This Cleanaway rear loader was 1 of 3 which used to service the Toongabbie and Winston Hills area of Parramatta City Council, back during a period when collections were performed by multiple organisations. As per the twin lifters on this truck, you can conclude these handled a wheelie bin contract, but I don’t believe MGBs were introduced across the whole council at this time. I tried my unlikely chances and did a rego check on these vehicles, surprised to have results show up for each, stating they were 1984 models with the regos expiring in March 1992, no doubt when the multiple Parra side loader contracts commenced. The cab chassis choice is a Mercedes Benz 2222 V Series and the body is a Norba Ki-11 rear loader, of course both being of European origin. In the background on the left are the old speedy packers these Norba rear loaders replaced, while on the right is a Norba/ACCO which did Blacktown garbage.
