As well as presenting invaluable information on correct response to
poisoning emergencies, ABRAM THE SAFETY APE grapples with core issues of
his professional identity, RT the ROBOT TEACHER tries his hand at
playwriting, and DR. MOODY explores the psychic marshlands of True
Safety Consciousness.
Parked at the former trolleybus stand on Wangey Road, 3251's conductor, Alan Money chats to his driver. I seemed to encounter Alan every time I came east before moving permanently in 82. He's now involved with several preserved vehicles. The bus is also preserved, being one of the Romford Green Line batch.
Loading up with Croydon-bound shoppers. The newspaper stuffed at the bottom of the windscreen suggests a lack of draught sealiing!
Smile please! I'll have to try and find the names of the crew. I Know the inspector on the left is Norman Harford, last heard of on the District Line.
By this time I was working at the bus offices on Grosvenor Gardens, so had plenty of lunchtimes to look out for the the varoius RTs that returned to central London service. This one lasted another year.
Due to a request , here are 8 shots taken at Croydon & Chelsham (completely outside my 'comfort zone')in 1973 just before I moved away to Scotland. Apologies are necessary for the lack of quality - it was a very dull February day!
Here is RT3629 leaving Croydon Bus Stn. on the 154 route showing its block capital LT fleetname - I wonder if this was rare as I dont remember seeing many like this but - as I mentioned I moved away from the LT area shortly after. Note the hand signal from the driver. 10/2/73.
RT3259 stands on the forecourt of Bexleyheath Garage, March 1974. I wonder if those front adverts would be acceptable nowdays!
Owego & Harford engines 2211 & 2302 power a southbound train through Richford, NY. The first dump-truck was taken by surprise and had to hit his brakes pretty hard in order to stop before the crossing. Traffic on this former Lehigh Valley line is not nearly as busy as the traffic on route 38.
Classic bus, classic taxi. The FX4s seemed almost to have faded without notice (except by taxi fans I suspect). 3799 worked to May '77.
I doubt if many stands like this still exist, the public aren't clever enough to walk safely across them any more! RM 597 survives in Longford.
London Road, North Cheam. Route 93 Running Day, 9th October 2021
Sony A7II + Contax C/Y 35-70mm f/3.4 MM
Two red RTs with Cravens bodies from EFE, displayed on a garage diorama made using the Kingsway PITS kit.
RT1460 is seen over the pits with RT 1493 in the background.
Posted before but this one is better processed and cropped.
Shortly after RT 2991 made the turn into Western Road, so does Barking's (BK) RT 669 bound for Harold Hill (Gooshays Drive). The right indicator is flashing although turning right here is the only option: South Street northwards from here is/was pedestrianised).
RT1400 (KXW499) lining up with KLB836 (Ex LT RT2457) at Stratford -on-Avon rally, 31/5/70. They both have Saunders bodies but KLB836 would have had its original body swapped pre-sale by LT. This RT looks pretty smart in its two-tone blue - unfortunately another shot of this bus appears on Flickr under '500CLT' 's site showing a sorry end - as a cut-down mobile studio just 5 years later.
A nice horse property for sale near us for just $3,250,000.00 but you need to bring your own horses.
This RT colour scheme may upset a few London enthusiasts but it looks rather nice in the long lost Leicestershire Independent livery 'Browns Blue'. Complete with local adverts KLB 596 made it's debut at the 2012 Leicester Vintage Bus Running day in September.
The RT makes a nice contrast with the Leyland bodied PD2 parked behind.
RT 3536 again, in Sussex Road. Recently seen in Location x3, it was my friend's house that was one of the optoins to buy! Small world!
I've finally finish the AT-RT also commonly known as clone walker.
From the Rendered version to this one I had to change a few things, either because there weren't the parts in the color I desired or because I thought the new parts would look better. Color wise, I changed the feet to DBG, changed the bigger cilinders in the legs from olive green to LBG and also changed the quarter round tiles to LBG. Appearance wise, I decided to change the turret, the rendered version was too long and didn't feel quite as good in the overall composition as this one does. I also had to make custom pieces that mimic the piece no 886956 which only exists in pink but looks very accurate to the model in-universe, I had to use it!
Hope you like it!
