Steamrail’s S301 is seen gleaming in the sun at Echuca shortly after arriving. The train made its way up from Bendigo with steam loco R761. The pair would do a handful of shuttles before returning back to Bendigo that evening.

Car washing in action in the background. Self-service jet washes still appear to be very popular, I don't recall seeing any of the staffed hand car washes like we have in the UK.
Wonder if the newer Mercedes being cleasned will last as long as this S-Class?
Location: Berlin - 308km from home.
Yet another Czech export plate in 2020 on an upscale car. This S-Class looks pretty nice, not sure why you've gotte import it from Plzen.

In the 1920s, the Victorian Railways built an express passenger locomotive for the express run from Melbourne to Albury (where passengers changed trains – and gauge – to continue on to Sydney). These were the first three-cylinder locomotives designed in Australia.
Four locomotives were built between 1928 and 1930. In 1937/38 they all were streamlined in blue and gold livery for the new “Spirit of Progress” service. Tenuis is currently building the streamlined version. I like the lines of the original, and as a bonus, the locos were painted in a red livery from 1934, unlike so many VR locos which were plain back.
The initial boiler design and cab are from Teunis’s design. I just got the loco finished in time for this weekend, although there are a few more details I may add later. It ran well on it’s first outing other than the cow catcher falling off a few times.

True to the "Albanian nature", this car is Mercedes.
That's, of course, stereotypical of Albanians- - and somewhat true. However, I was very pleased that this S-Class was a modern upscale car. A coule of Albanians have pleased me in recent years, with 2020 being a complete failure, of course.

This plate from Kaliningrad is really nice. Triple-X combined with triple-1s, definitely one of the nicer combinations to get in Russia and unsurprisingly seen on an upscale vehicle.

A Mercedes-Benz S-Class V126 photographed in Shanghai, Shanghai municipality, China.
I spotted this Mercedes V126 in May 2012 around Hongqiao area.
This Mercedes has a very interesting license plate.
Indeed, the 沪A-Z1234 plates were the first to be issued for private buyers (with new plates launched in 1992) in Shanghai.
Mostly of them are now used by recent expensive cars but we can still see original cars with these original plates.

S302 in the V/Line passenger scheme minus logos combines with T378 in the original blue and gold Victorian Railways scheme is stabled at Warnambool during the day while working the El Zorro Warnambool goods on 8-9-2008.
After V/R and V/Line, S302 went through a variety of owners and liveries starting with West Coast Rail to V/Line passenger onto El Zorro and finally ending up with SSR in New South Wales.
T378 owned by Seymour Rail Heritage centre was on hire to El Zorro and had recently been repainted into the blue and gold VR scheme.
S302 leads GM10, 4917 and GM22 upgrade through the new Shellharbour Junction station with Sydney Trains loaded ballast train 9108, en route from Bombo Quarry to Chullora.
Although Sydney Trains infrastrucutre traffic is in the hands of Pacific National, SSR made three runs to/from the quarry in late June/early July 2015.

In the rather faded Pacific National Blue and Yellow colours, S class locomotive S306 is seen stabled in 8 road of Newport Workshops.
S306 has spent most of the recent years in storage with Pacific National, in both Victoria (Dynon) and New South Wales (Parkes). Since June of 2019, S306 and other Pacific National diesel locomotives have been stored at Newport with a contract with 707 Operations.
During this time, the 1957 built streamliner was handed over to the ownership of 707 Operations for heritage use.
