Scanned the negative in for this recently. One of those wtf moments. Walking through a Melbourne suburb back in 1988 I stumbled on this scene. Someone had bought the front of a S Class Diesel locomotive from Victorian Railways (I just googled that bit), put it in their front garden and arranged the roof and the wall to look like it had smashed through their front living room.
10/10 for effort!
W126
Production began in 1979 and continued until 1991, with a major update in 1985. The sedans were available as S, SE and SEL models, the latter featuring a wheelbase extended by 14 cm. Buyers could choose from 4 petrol engines offered in 13 power variants. Important new safety technologies, such as electronically controlled ABS, were introduced. It was also one of the first cars to undergo highly comprehensive crash tests. The excellent characteristics and high build quality led to enormous commercial success, with a total production of 818.063 units. Bruno Sacco was responsible for the design.

There were quite a few photographers gathered on the other side of the bridge so I decided on a different take on the traditional eastbound Brewongle departure shot for this quad carbody hauled 8878 wagon transfer. A bird of prey taking flight, possibly a goshawk, can be seen in the foreground.

S311 gets a recon engine as part of an overhaul performed at West Coast Rails Ballarat East depot in December 2002.
The loco is also in early stages of being prepared for a repaint.
No badging to suggest what engine this Dutch-registered one had.

W112
The high-end W112 was a luxury saloon based on the W111 chassis but with exclusive features, elaborate appointments and the Mercedes 300d Adenauer's fuel-injected 3-litre "big block" M189 6-cylinder engine - at the time the company's largest. Dubbed the 300 SE, it was given many standard power features, air suspension and a high level of interior and exterior trim.

A Broad Gauge SSR grain train arrives at Piangil in northern Victoria on 24-10-18 with double S class locos S302,S317
Something of a surprise find and a bit of an oddity. LHD and apparently US-spec, but DVLA says first registered in 1979 and no date of manufacture given.
As far as I know, we didn't get official UK sales of a diesel-engined S-Class of this generation.
With the road set onto the double track section, VR interlopers T357 and S303, on hire to SSR from SRHC get 8M41 wagon transfer underway again through Newbridge.
Only found these due to stopping for the BX, one of my passengers noticed these at an overgrown, derelict house/farm beside the road.
I think the Mercedes is an S-Class rather than a W114/115? No clue as to its engine size.
The slightest glimmer if sun pokes out under the low cloud late in the afternoon of 15-7-23 as Seymour Rail Heritage Centre's S307,C501 approach the Illuka siding heading to Hamilton after working the second shuttle service from Chrome.
After arrival at Hamilton, the locos once again ran around and headed back to Portland for the night
S302,B76 on a trees for life charter from Melbourne to Winchelsea have dropped thier passengers off at Lake Modewarre and as they run empty cars to Winchelsea to run around, they stop at the Princes Highway overpass near Winchelsea for a photostop on 13-8-2000
Only a few km's out from Heywood, Seymour Rail Heritage Centre's S307,C501 are about to cross Golf Course road heading towards Hamilton on thier special passenger working on 15-7-23
Seymour Rail Heritage Centre preserved locos S307,C501 have just arrived at Heywood station on a shuttle trip from Portland on the morning of 16-7-23.
After a quick run around the locos will head back towards Portland
SSR's 1845 Kelso Freight passes through Lidcombe behind the impressive combo of G514, VL354, VL353, S302 & GM27.
These two ex VR bulldogs run an evaluation trial trip from Goulburn to Yass and return this afternoon with these three trucks. I guess it was the grain hopper that was being tested, but have no details.
With the sun still visible in the tree tops, X31 leads T356, S303 and T386 through Broadford in the dying hours of sunlight as 9374 loaded container service from Tocumwal.
