At lunch, I watched two red tailed hawks circling each other. One had a light chin and the other dark. This is the light chinned one :)
Fake RT 8 which is really Saunders Bodied RT 4686 is seen burning away after suffering a Bomb blast whilst on film work
As well as he 87 route passing through the centre of Rainham, two other Central routes terminated here -the 165 and 103. At the Church are RT2170 on the 103 and RT3486 on a short terminating 87 with a Country RT in the distance. RT's on the 103 were ousted by SMS buses just 9 months after this picture was taken -25/6/70.
There were still a few RT's around such as RT1332 on Route 193 with another on the 87 seen from the Western Rd. carpark on 1/6/77. My old school, St.Edwards features here with the brick built Quadrangle - the Senior school had moved to new premises up London Rd near Chadwell Heath but the old buildings were still being used as a Primary School. I believe this was not to last long and the whole site was demolished later.
Enfield garage (E) is actually located in Ponders End and operated RTs on several routes, but all were whisked away for conversion into trainers from 16th January 1978. Three years earlier RT 4757 (E) is captured on the 135 at Brimsdown station. Monday 24th February 1975. 2G-9.
It's SPACE, but browner than ever! To my recollection, this is the first time I've built a brown fig-scale spaceship, and the first time I've ever used the orangey-brown colour at all. I mean, I don't even know the actual name of it, despite having had some since that Designer dinosaur set many years ago.
But anyway, I digress. You can probably tell that there's some TR inspiration going on here, because that guy is just too cool and I wanted to try his compact building style. But then I added my bizarre angular style, crazy internal structure, and ended up with this. I love it. Come to the NSC Leicester event, and I may even let you swoosh it.
Also, there was some discussion on AFOL 16+ that there's not enough "tough love" constructive criticism anymore, not since CSF died. So I invite you all to rip this to shreds, should you be so inclined. But constructively.
A revised version of my old AT-RT
I started over again from scratch. Parts of the previous model have been reused but I tried incorporate a different/ new design.
Back 'home' -South Street, Romford by Roneo Corner with RT's on the 87 & 174 routes and a RML (probably on the 165) passing. 15/4/72.
I was surprised that 1599 wasn't chosen for the last run, it seemed the obvious choice given its celebrity status. even more odd was that 4712 was chosen by the LT museum over 1599.
One of the far-flung central routes, 21, encountered during my Green Rover trip in 13/5/67. - RT3882 , still with cream band, at Farningham,Kent.
The Dodge Magnum is very rare in Europe as we had the car as Chrysler 300C Touring. This generation of the Magnum was built from 2004 until 2008. The RT has an 5.7 litre Hemi V8 engine.

Lewisham Bus Station was quite new in 1978, now its been replaced by the DLR station. RT 3351 moved to Bow as a trainer in August and was sold to Wombwells in Feb 80.
The AT-RT (All Terrain Recon Tranport) is hands down my favourite out of my original MOCs, as it's such an awesome walker design. A big shout out also to TheBrickDen (www.flickr.com/photos/151589681@N04/) for the model off of which I based mine.
