S302, T386 and C501 combine to lift 7769 loaded El Zorro/Iluka Resources mineral sands train out of Murtoa. S302 and T386 had brought the loaded train in earlier and paused to attach C501 (which is too heavy for the branch). The C is needed to tackle some of the steeper grades to the east.
Location: Berlin - 657km from home.
Liechtenstein plates are one of my favorite spots and they make for an even nicer spot on a black car. I've seen this S-Class last year again.

Still a strong presence on the rails 60 years after construction, S302 rests around the Seymour Turntable awaiting to be converted from Standard to Broad Gauge.
S302 was built in 1957 and has had many owners and operators over the years including the Victorian Railways, V/Line, West Coast Railway, El Zorro and currently with SSR.
S302 will once again be hauling freight trains in Victoria after gauge conversion and a much needed tidy up.

A very smart looking W140, as seen by Mr Benn. Unfortunately it failed its MOT today on a tyre. Given its outwardly very nice condition, I was surprised to see that this has covered an impressive 293,071 miles!

Two streamlined S class 'Pacific' type steam locomotives at Albury station.
Photographer unknown, Steven Haby collection
S313 and S303 stand alongside platform 3A, Southern Cross. The two locomotives are waiting for the V/Line pilot locomotive (Y129) to drag the carriages out of the way to permit the two S Class locomotives to run around their train, prior to departing with their Steamrail Victoria special to Tocumwal.
S313 is owned and operated by Steamrail Victoria, Newport (and also leased to Qube Victoria when required), whilst S303 is in the custody of Seymour Rail Heritage Centre, Seymour (and also leased to El Zorro when required). In the spirit of co-operation between Victorian heritage groups, they often share locomotives to undertake special tours. Both S313 and S303 would also operate a SRHC heritage train the following weekend.

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 chosen by Mercedes-Benz to launch its magnificent new 3.5-litre V8 engine in 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. Thus equipped, the Coupé/Cabriolet was good for 205km/h (127mph) with 100km/h reachable in 9.5 seconds, a substantial improvement on the six-cylinder version's figures. Although the equivalent SEL saloon used the 'New Generation' bodyshell, the Coupé and Cabriolet kept the elegant coachwork that had debuted back in 1959 on the 220 SE and, as befitted top-of-the-range luxury models, came equipped with automatic transmission, air conditioning, power windows and stereo radio as standard. Significantly, the 280 SE 3.5 was to be the final model to feature this long-established and much admired body style, and today these last-of-the-line classics are highly sought after by discerning Mercedes-Benz collectors.
One of only 3,720 Coupé examples produced, of which 3,025 were left-hand dive, this most elegant Mercedes-Benz, the top-of-the line 280 SE 3.5 V8 Coupe, was originally delivered to the United States and ordered in the stunning 'Tobacco Brown' colour scheme it is presented in today. It was bought by the immediately preceding owner - a UK-based enthusiast - for his impressive private collection in France. While there the car was maintained by his personal mechanic and saw only very limited use. The current vendor purchased the Mercedes in October 2016, since when it has benefited from considerable refurbishment. In 2017 the body was thoroughly restored and treated to a full professional respray at a cost of €12,490, photographs and details of which are on file. In 2021 various electrical and mechanical repairs plus a service were carried out at a cost of some €6,680. Early 2023 ignition and fuel injection systems were inspected and repaired at a cost of €4,385. Repairs have also been made to the air conditioning, suspension, interior, etc at a cost of €9,990, while the overhauled Becker Europa stereo is now functioning correctly. The total spend on the aforementioned works was approximately €35,000. The related invoices are on file together with various smaller bills. It should be noted that the Mercedes has been professionally converted to European specification, not only deleting the reflectors but also installing a km/h speedometer, etc. The replacement automatic gearbox had been installed already before the 1990s it is believed.
Beautifully finished in a most attractive colour combination of dark brown and sumptuous tan leather interior, this stunning Mercedes-Benz comes with the desirable options of automatic transmission (column-mounted change), air conditioning, and electric tinted windows all round.
