S300 and S311 have just arrived at Central with the AK cars. They have just ran around their train and are seen awaiting their departure.
Rods for three locomotives. They have been home-printed in PLA plastic and sanded for a smoother finish. The rods and held together using pins made from cut down 4-long antennas.
Originally we made the rods using the old Lego flex connectors and 3mm tube for a near-legal build. The flex version looked good from the side, but stuck out far too much when viewed from the top or front.
At 2mm thick, the 3D printed rods have a much smaller overhang.

A Mercedes-Benz S-Class V140 photographed in Beijing, Beijing municipality, China.
A poor old Benz abandonned in south-east Beijing for a long time.
Many of these are gone of Beijing, because they are now forbidden (too old = polluting) in a growing area.

T357 and S303 rumble across the viaduct at Boorcan with 9261, the down Warrnambool goods train. The new build skeletal broad gauge container wagons behind the S Class are the only sign that this photo was taken in the 21st Century!
4471 and S300 pass Enfield Yard with T281 container trip train from Port Botany to Yennora for P&O Trans Australia.
P&OTA had purchased 4471 and 4477 from CFCL Australia to operate their daily container trip train between Yennora and Port Botany although other CFCLA motive power often deputised for the aging alcos which were often out of service for repairs.
V/Lines S306 is stabled at the MPC at Dry Creek waiting to trail out on an overnight freight service to Melbourne later that night.
S306 entered service on 27-11-57, named John Batman. Apart from brief periods of storage it run all the way through to Freight Australia and eventually Pacific National and was painted inyo the Pacific National scheme but stored shortly after. In 2019 it was passed on to preservation to 707 operations where it now has been rostered to operable condition in the Pacific National scheme still.
Veteran EMD streamliners B61, S317 and GM27 have seen plenty of sunrises over the course of their careers. On a warm summer evening in January 2014, these three veterans find themselves quietly contemplating their futures in Eskbank Yard, Lithgow. Hopefully the gathering storm clouds overhead are not a metaphor for their future.

Completed at the Mercedes-Benz Sindelfingen factory in August of 1989, this exceptional 560 SEL was delivered new to AMG Japan for further fettling prior to delivery to its first owner. It is thus equipped with the hand-built 6.0-litre AMG version of the M117 V-8 engine with four valve heads. Its peak power output of 375 bhp makes it a very different proposition to the standard 560 SEL with its 285 bhp. The AMG body kit was also added, alongside three-piece split-rim wheels, an AMG instrument cluster, steering wheel, and overmats.
Showing just over 60,000 kilometres, it is in good condition for its age, free of corrosion and showing minimal cosmetic wear. It is accompanied by a rich service history which attests to routing ‘no expense spared’ servicing every two years in Japan; indeed, the three annual service bills between 2009 and 2013 total over €14.000. More recently it has been imported to Switzerland, where it has continued to be regularly maintained and exercised.
Pre-merger AMG build numbers are notoriously scarce, but it is believed that less than 200 of these 6.0 SELs were made. Few would more usable than this well-cared-for example.
GM27, 44206, S302 and 44204 pour it on for the assembled photographers as they ascend the horseshoe curve at Locksley with 1877 freight to Kelso.
S317, T363, P16 and S312 roll into Nullawil yard at the head of 9197 empty grain from Tottenham. The impressive silo art on the former grain silo is a hard shot to pass up.
The locos will split into two pairs to allow them to run around their train which is too long for the loop. Once the train has been remarshalled, they'll push their consist back underneath the modern loader (located to the right of frame) before departing for Melbourne that afternoon.

"If you feel obligated to ask about the price you not only will never understand the car, you have branded yourself incapable of ever appreciating its virtues even if someone gave you one." – Car & Driver on the Mercedes-Benz 280SE 3.5.
The fact that the esteemed American motoring magazine felt compelled to remark on the 280 SE's price is understandable when one considers that at $13,500 in 1970 it was not only $3,500 more than that of the equivalent Mercedes-Benz sedan but also more than double that of a Cadillac Deville Coupé!
The 3.5-litre version of the 280 SE typifies the resurgence of larger-engined Mercedes-Benz models that began in the late 1960s and early 1970s, when the progressive easing of fiscal constraints, which had dissuaded customers from buying cars with large capacity engines, encouraged the German manufacturer to offer bigger, more potent power units. Thus the ultra-luxurious 280 SE Coupé/Cabriolet and 300 SEL saloon were the models chosen by Mercedes-Benz to launch its magnificent new 3.5-litre V8 engine in September 1969. An over-square design featuring a cast-iron block and aluminium-alloy cylinder heads, each equipped with a single overhead camshaft, this all-new, state-of-the-art power unit produced 200bhp courtesy of Bosch electronic fuel injection and transistorised ignition. The new V8 engine had particularly smooth running characteristics and endowed the 280 SEs with performance superior to that of many out-and-out sports cars. Thus equipped, the Coupé/Cabriolet was good for 200km/h with 100km/h reachable in 9.6 seconds, a substantial improvement on the six-cylinder version's figures. As befitted top-of-the-range luxury models, the 280 SE 3.5 Coupé and Cabriolet came equipped with automatic transmission, air conditioning, power windows, and a stereo radio as standard.
Although the equivalent SEL saloon used the 'New Generation' bodyshell, the 280 SE Coupé and Cabriolet kept the elegant coachwork that had debuted back in 1959 on the 220 SE. Nevertheless, there had been some refinements made: the radiator shell was lower and wider, with a correspondingly flatter front end to the bonnet, a characteristic that has led to enthusiasts referring to these face-lifted cars as 'Flachkühler or flat radiator' models, while the bumpers were now fitted with rubber strips. Significantly, the 280 SE 3.5 was to be the final model featuring this long-established and much admired body style. It was truly Mercedes-Benz's flagship model, representing status, luxury and reliability. The company's last hand built convertible, these last-of-the-line classics are highly sought after by today's discerning Mercedes-Benz collectors.
One of only 1,232 Cabriolets produced, this automatic transmission Mercedes-Benz 280 SE 3.5 features a Becker Mexico radio, air conditioning, and power windows. The car was sold new to the United States and later exported to The Netherlands where it has been maintained in excellent condition. Subsequently, the Mercedes was sold to a Belgian car collector from Antwerp. We are advised by the current private vendor that there are no leaks and that the exhaust was replaced recently. The car drives very well and recently participated in several rallies, including one in Tuscany, Italy. One need hardly mention that it has proven very reliable. Offered with an illustrated valuation report from 2021, the car is matching numbers and its very striking colour combination is original.
