An absolutely bizarre spot. Not only can you spot 163-1 and 163-2 in the same picture, but seeing an older S-Class being used as a diplomatic vehicle, especially from a country like Tajikistan, is an interesting spot.

Happy New Year 2020 !!!
It is a famous place in China for car spotters.
In Binhai - the harbour of Tianjin - there is a place where are abandoned about 40 vehicles since a long time.
Apparently, these vehicles were confiscated by Chinese customs for illegal importation.
Main of these cars are Mercedes-Benz S-Class V126 but there are also some Cadillac, Lincoln, Nissan, Toyota, some BMW E23, one Rolls-Royce, etc ...

When I was younger, I quite fancied the idea of having a W108/109. Not just any, but the rather nice, 280 SE 3.5 with a 200 hp V8.
At the time, they were worth about $6,000. Which was, unfortunately, about $6,000 more than I had. I had also been cautioned, that running a 25 year old Mercedes-Benz, low-volume V8 was probably pretty expensive as well. Having just looked them up, they are now worth about $35,000, though they are now an additional 30 years old and have probably cost a lot of money to keep them running that long.
Still, lovely. The range launched in 1965, initially with a 2.5 L inline-six, producing 130 PS in the carburettor 250S, of 150 PS in the injected 250 SE. A larger engined 3.0L was fitted to the W109 300SE/SEL, which used air suspension. In this application, the engine produced 170 PS.
In 1967 the 2.8L replaced the 2.5L lifting power to 140 PS and 160 PS for the 280 S and 280 SE respectively, while the 3.5L v8 also joined the range at this time.
Those crazy people who wanted a lot more go, could, from 1966, buy the limited volume 300 SEL 6.3, with the 250 PS / 500 Nm V8 from the flagship W100 600 model. These are probably worth most of $100 K these days.
Key appeal to this kind of car isn't the speed, but the style. 5.0m long, wide, glassy cabins, leather and wood, plenty of space, and plenty of class. There was one down the road from my house even, a pale blue 250 S, which gracefully glided down the street.

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.

W109
1965 - 1972
Die Limousinen der Baureihe W108 & W109, die 1965 die 'Heckflossen'-Sechszylindermodelle ablösen, zeichnen sich durch ihr zeitlos-elegantes Design un die großzügig dimensionierten Fensterflächen aus. Neben den Modellen mit Stahlfederung - intern der Baureihe 108 zugeordnet - gibt es luftgefederte Varianten der Baureihe 109, die von Beginn an mit 10 cm längerem Radstand angeboten werden. Ein besonderes Highlight ist der 1968 präsentierte 300 SEL 6.3. Das neue Topmodell der Baureihe hat den leistungsstarken V8-Motor der Highend-Limousine Mercedes 600 erhalten und bietet nebenhöchstem Komfort und luxuriöser Ausstattung sportwagenmässige Fahrleistungen.

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!

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.
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.

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.

The pinnacle of the C126 series, the 560 SEC remains one of the most beautiful coupés in Mercedes-Benz history. Its 5.6L V8 engine delivers outstanding performance, while its timeless bodywork, designed by Bruno Sacco, is pure perfection: it is the symbol of German refinement in the 1980s!
Our model was delivered by Mercedes-Benz Hamburg in August 1987 in this elegant combination of Smoke Silver Metallic (702U) with an Anthracite leather interior (271). Crucially, the car has the rare 822 option, boosting the power of its V8 to 300 hp. In November 1989, the car was registered in Italy, before returning to France in 2016 with 106,000 km on the clock. Today, it is in extremely rare condition: most of the paintwork is original (the rear section has been repainted, measurements available on request), and the upholstery, also original, is in perfect condition.
During our test drive, we were struck by the overall quality of the car and its condition. The two previous owners had covered many expenses, resulting in the car’s current condition! In June 2024, the car joined the collection of its current owner, who drove it only a few kilometres before deciding to part with it. The value of the 560 SEC has risen in recent years, regularly exceeding the €30,000 mark! This high-quality example is being offered at a very attractive estimate... Don’t miss out!
A very late example of the W126 registered in May 1992, over six months after the W140 went into production. 2962 cc inline six cylinder engine....and plastic wheelcovers?
Eastbourne Magnificent Motors - May 2022
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.
