This is the XL motor bogie I used in my C bogie guards van. It is basically a minor variation on vmln8r's excellent version, with my version using a 20 tooth double bevel gear (rather than a 12 tooth bevel gear) attached directly to the motor to increase the wheel speed.
I had an interview in Lenexa, KS today and have high hopes of landing the position. As with all of my other interviewing trips, I try to leave some "buffer time" prior to the interview just in case of traffic issues. Buffer time sometimes equals "Get The Shot." This local crew probably got some chuckles out of the guy in a suit taking pictures of their job.
I was astonished to find all green fore-and-aft as the 3443 & 2740 were shoving north with another green "waycar" protecting the shove. 3443 was originally a Frisco switcher so she continues to work on "home" rails. Other than the stored 3400 in Springfield, I'm not sure I can remember seeing a switcher on the BNSF in years. I've seen other KC area fans have shots of this job or passing trains with the parked equipment and I was happy to stumble into this scene. I'm hoping catching all of this cascade green goodness was a good omen as I felt I did well with the interview. Keeping finger crossed!

A few months ago I went on a tour of the Morgan Factory in Malvern. It's a great tour, you learn about the history of these iconic cars and see them all being made. These are in the finishing and inspection shops. A Classic Roadster is having the final touches put to it.
Christchurch in Doncaster used to be the terminus for a whole host of local independent operators. Many names and identities were lost into the new SYPTE, and by the time this was taken in 1993 the bus stops around the church only saw Mainline B10Ms looping in and out on their way past. And sometimes it saw a Leon Fleetline parked up when I needed to nip home for an hour.
Seen on a Saturday afternoon, in the break between trips on the 191 and the start of the evening 152 service, ex GMPTE Fleetline 8049 keeps the candle burning for the Doncaster independent operator.
It was at City of Como, Italy. That morning, we saw hundreds of motor bikes riding across the city. Some roads were blocked by police in order to let them passing through.

West Coast Motors Solo YJ62 FNK at the Calgary terminus of route 494 on the Isle of Mull on 11 May 2017. It had just arrived on the 1000 494 from Tobermory and would return at 1100. As can be glimpsed in the background the beach at Calgary is delightful. The bus is operated by Dervaig outstation.

Taken at SIAā2013 Motor Show (29 May - 2 June 2013, Kiev). There was no motor show this year in Kiev, for obvious reasons.
The somewhat boxy shape of an ALX400 bodied DAF, with odd looking centre door and centrally mounted exhaust pipe - not to mention the ridiculously huge end bit of the rear axle.
The ALX400 really suited the Trident chassis better I think!
The DB250 chassis has been knocking around for donkeys years, right back into step-entrance days and by the time the latest bodywork was being offered by the likes of Alexander and East Lancs it must've seemed a bit medieval compared to what Dennis and Volvo were offering!
DB250s always look really short as well, and this one has one of the filler-cap hatch things slightly open.
The October 4, 2015 Motor Extravaganza in Ann Arbor, Michigan. This is a modest invitation only car show and potluck hosted by one of my former co-workers at his home on Ann Arbor's Old West Side.

Teachers Fred Sanders and Jan Siemerink (R) all the way from Kasulu Technical Secondary School (West Tanzania) on a trip to the North of the country. Here on a stopover at Bonga village near Babati. A few months ago I had a door expertly fixed and asked the technician where he got his training. He mentioned the Kasulu School and gave my SNV colleagues high recommendations.
