Voor de werkzaamheden tussen Groningen en Winschoten voor de extra sneltrein die eind 2020 moet gaan rijden bracht RTS in week 41 verschillende werktreinen naar Onnen. Deze zullen worden ingezet bij de spoorvernieuwingen tussen 10 en 18 Oktober in het Noorden van het land.
Op 8 Oktober 2020 passeert de fris bestickerde 1018 Amersfoort met aan de haak een bont circus bestaande uit een BDS-2000, een stopmachine, stabilisator EM-SAT 120, verschillende werkwagens en de kettinghor RM85-750 onder nummer 44780 vanuit Emmerich naar Onnen.
November 11th 1959 , and the first day of Routemaster ops on the 48 as part of Stage 4 of the Trolleybus Programme. Here on that first day at Waterloo is a new #RM85 out of Poplar Garage. Photographer the late Mr. Peter Relf. (c)The Bus Archive with permission.
Na zes dagen bikkelen in de striemende kou met in de nacht soms bijna strenge vorst zijn de spoorwerkers van Swietelsky vast bijzonder blij dat het werk er op de vroege morgen van 1 maart 2018 op de Merwede-Lingelijn bijna op zit. Terwijl de Arctische wind met snijdende gevoelstemperaturen van -15! de fotograaf slechts enkele minuten parten spelen zijn de Oostenrijkse mannen vast niet met het Nederlandse "Vorstverlet" bekend en werken zich het bevroen snot voor de ogen om eindelijk weer de warmte te kunnen genieten. Terwijl de kettinghor RM85-750 slechts luttele meters van het eindpunt is zien we de van Strukton gehuurde mooi glimmende 30004, waarvan de machinist heerlijk warm binnen zit wachten op wat komen gaat op 1 maart 2018 ter hoogte van Rhenoy.
Naast vernieuwen van de dwarsliggers vernieuwt Swietelsky ook de ballast tussen Lage-Zwaluwe en Zevenbergen. Dit gebeurd met de kettinghor RM85-750, die eerder al actief was tussen Leerdam en Geldermalsen. Ten behoeve van de afvoer van horsel heeft Swietelsky de recent weer spik en span in de verf gezette ex-ACTS6703 ingehuurd die sinds kort eigendom is van Rail Experts. Nadat de loc eerder dit weekend onder dramatische weersomstandigheden van Roosendaal naar Lage-Zwaluwe was overgebracht, kon deze in de late middag van de onstuimige maandag 30 april 2018 in een piepklein (helaas wel kops) zongaatje worden vastgelegd met vijf inmiddels weer geleegde MFS100 wagens terwijl terug gereden word naar de kettinghor ter hoogte van Zevenbergsche Hoek.

RM85 w/d in 12/05 to Blue Triangle, re-registered 711XUW to Premier Tours 4/10 repainted Green & Gold for Harrods used for London Sightseeing Tours
Picture taken by the late Michael Cleary. This I believe was late Summer/early Autumn 2005.
The last garage in London to employ conductors, on the last Routemaster service, the 159.
There was a mix of RMs and RMLs. One of each type are seen standing in the garage exit. RM85 was from the original batch of trolleybus replacement RMs and was new in late 1959.
Tiel, 16 augustus 2022
De kleine Unimog van Van Roon duwt 3 lege MFS 120 cs en een wagen beladen met container naar de kettinghor, een RM85-750 van Swietelsky die met 5 Eurailpool MFS 120 cs`n ter hoogte van brug over Inundatiekanaal bezig zijn..
De MFS`n worden gelost bij depot op voormalige losweg van Tiel.
BAM voert hier samen met Van Roon spoorvernieuwingswerkzaamheden uit, spoor EB tussen Wadenoijen en Tiel wordt vernieuwd en wanneer deze gereed is kan het spoor tussen Tiel en Geldermalsen zo`n 25 - 30 jaar mee, de sporen EN en EA tussen Wadenoijen en Geldermalsen zijn reeds eerder vernieuwd.

The original Proton Perdana became a symbol of prosperity for not just Proton, but Malaysia as well when it was launched on 26 January 1995. This was a time when morale was relatively high for Proton, having sold over 300,000 units of the Saga by 1991, following up to the successful launch of the Saga Iswara in August 1992. Proton had also unveiled the then all-new Wira in May 1993, which took the company to new heights and also new territory. By 1995, the Wira had been exported to not just Great Britain, but also Germany, France, Belgium and a several more countries in Europe. Then in early 1995, the Perdana was launched as 'the icing on the cake'. Malaysia too was in high spirits between the late 1980s and the first half of the 1990s, with a strong economy growing at an average of 8%. This was a time when grand projects were being built, like the Petronas Twin Towers (tallest buildings in the world, 1998 to 2004), the North-South Expressway (a 772 km or 480 mile highway which links Johor Bahru in the southern end of the Malay Peninsula to Kedah in the north, as well as everything in between), Kuala Lumpur International Airport or KLIA (which handled 25.4 millions passengers in 2014, just 5 million short of the entire population of Malaysia itself !) and the Multimedia Super Corridor or MSC Malaysia (which encompasses the 'smart city' that is Cyberjaya, political powerhouse Putrajaya and to an extent the entire Klang Valley / Greater Kuala Lumpur area).
In many ways then, the original Proton Perdana represents that blissful era of Malaysian prosperity in the sense that it was the country's first 'luxury car'. Of course, when it comes to luxury, it's no match for something German (5-Series, E-Class etc.), let alone a Bentley or Rolls-Royce... but relatively speaking, it was very much a 'luxury car' in most Malaysian hearts and minds. When the Perdana launched (at a cost of around RM85,000), Proton was inundated with orders, and the waiting list stretched up to six months. There were even cases of early birds who ended up selling their Perdanas for up to RM95,000, or 12% more than what they bought it for ! That clearly sums up how desirable the Proton Perdana was in mid-90s. Proton, which launched their first car only less than a decade back now had a car which had something previous Protons could have only dreamt of; the Perdana had the image, it had the presence and it commanded respect. Even today, the original Perdana still maintains some of that 'magic' it had back in the mid-90s.
The original / first generation Perdana was based on the seventh generation Mitsubishi Eterna (or Galant), and was initially fitted with Mitsubishi's 4G63 engine, a large 2.0-litre, 16-valve four-cylinder unit which could put out a maximum 135hp. On 12 November 1998, Proton took it up a notch by introducing the Proton Perdana V6. As its name suggests, it was fitted with a V6 engine, a first for a Proton, specifically Mitsubishi's 6A12 2.0-litre, 24-valve V6 unit. The new V6 engine could put out up to 148hp, making the Perdana V6 one of the most powerful Protons ever made. Owners claim that the Perdana V6 has one of the sexiest exhaust notes out there... and I must concur. Aside from the engine, Proton also refreshed the exterior and Lotus too had a say in the Perdana V6's ride and handling. Sometime in 2003, Proton updated the Perdana V6 with a new grille (which bears a strong resemblance to that of a certain Italian car maker), rims, front and rear bumpers and rear lights, and made some tweaks on the dated interior. Proton went on to make this version of the Perdana V6 for another 7 years. The first generation Perdana enjoyed a long production cycle; around 15 years no less. It wasn't until late 2013 that Proton unveiled its successor, the second generation Perdana, this time being based on the eighth generation, ASEAN market Honda Accord instead.
Proton only exported the original Perdana to neighbouring Singapore and Brunei. However, there were plans to export the Perdana to Europe and Australia. Indeed, Proton had a Perdana on display at the Brussels Motor Show in the mid-90s, where it was renamed the Proton 600 Series. Sadly, by this time, it was too late for Proton and forces that could not be controlled (that is the 1997 Asian Financial Crisis) started to dictate Proton's future in the late 90s. The financial crisis brought about the end of Proton's overseas expansion. However, Proton did ship around 20 or so Perdanas to the United Kingdom. They were used to chauffeur VIPs at Proton Cars U.K.. Here's two photos of one such example.
Speaking of VIPs, the Perdana is best known for its widespread use by the Malaysian government. Even today, many first generation Perdanas (mostly Perdana V6 units) soldier on in loyal service. Then there's the Royal Malaysia Police, which used the Perdana for various duties, including highway patrols and VIP escorts. The many Sultans of Malaysia have Proton Perdanas as well. Some foreign embassies in Malaysia also use the Proton Perdana as diplomat cars. Known embassies include Singapore, Indonesia and Palestine.
The Perdana then, is not your average Proton.

RTW75-RM85-RT3871 on the 339 shuttle to Epping at North Weald bus rally 6/7/08 during rain storm - typical english summer
The last Routemasters operated on normal service seven years ago today; here in the long-closed and disused Streatham garage forecourt, at that time the much-curtailed 159's southern terminus, are Brixton's RML 2324 (CUV 324C) and RM 85 (VLT 85). The latter was to have the honour of being the last inbound crew 159 as BN143, which would hand over to RM 2217 at Marble Arch.
