Ive travelled worldwide looking for interesting buses whilst on holidays but always come back to Scotland at least once a year. This is the Highland outstation at Kyle in September 2000 with breathtaking views over the inner sound to Isle of Skye, Scalpay & Raasay. Highland added buses to the fleet in a very shrewed way often buying what no-one else wanted from various sources including the auctions at Manchester. In Scotland contracts often fit different vehicles & types, Sandy understood this well and despite the resistance from some, grew Highland into a success in very difficult conditions & operating areas. The buses from L-R are Bristol VR BKE832T which started life Maidstone before passing into Arriva ownership and North to Scotland and i believe is now preserved. Leopard WFS152W in the latest Rapson blue started life with Fife scottish before moving to Highland when quite new, it also saw life after Highland with Whitelaws who purchased a large batch of these buses in another good deal by Highland ( sometimes you have to buy what you dont want, to get what you do ! ). The blue & grey leopard is GCS52W which was new to Western SMT and then the VR on the right is RAN645R which was new to the Atomic Energy Research Establishment in a blue & grey livery. This was later transferred to Dounreay and then Highland acquired the vehicle along with sister 644. It was later scrapped although some of the batch new to AERE do survive elsewhere.
If i had a choice here and i was just starting for the day i think i would take WFS...Bristol VRs didn't belong in Scotland and i preferred the small side windows in the Y type rather than the panoramic bigger ones in GCS, along with the fact WFS is in the super two tone blue which suits the body like no other livery.

The south west is a good place for non pcv buses, almost every other month something pops onto the radar, often with a question mark attached. Some live on for years undiscovered as living accommodation or store sheds behind those Cornish or Devon hedges. This is ODL662R now someone’s home in South Devon and smartly repainted into this unusual blue & white.
The real treat from the summer of course though, was during Goodwood Revival; where around 20 vintage buses descend on Chichester to operate shuttles into a bygone era! My stallion for the event was Stagecoach West's Bristol VR, JOU 160P; oddly the very first time I've driven a Closed Top VR, despite having done thousands of miles on Open Top ones! She is seen here operating late into the night on Serv: 902.

I decided to build a new 'locomotive' for Brickvention, and thought a railmotor would be a quicker and easier build than another steam loco.
Built from 1948, the 102hp and 153hp railmotors consisted of a 4 wheel driving unit with a trailing passenger unit mounted on a single bogie.
The model has a PF train motor under the trailing unit, with the wheels on the motor unit unpowered. The motor and trailing units can slide apart by ~1 stud allowing the railmotor to handle standard Lego curves, but close up on straights and wide-radius curves.
With 26 acres of lush tropical plants and some 1,600 animals, the Gladys Porter Zoo is a zoological and botanical park nestled in the center of Brownsville, Texas. It is known for its successes in breeding endangered species of wildlife.
Of all the zoos I have visited, I found this zoo the best as far as being able to view the animals, birds and such without having to look through wire mesh and the like. (14-01-21-3442)

Ralph Waldo Emerson. The happiest man is he who learns from nature the lesson of worship.
Lucius Annaeus Seneca: On entering a temple we assume all signs of reverence. How much more reverent then should we be before the heavenly bodies, the stars, the very nature of God!
John Muir: All the wild world is beautiful, and it matters but little where we go, to highlands or lowlands, woods or plains, on the sea or land or down among the crystals of waves or high in a balloon in the sky; through all the climates, hot or cold, storms and calms, everywhere and always we are in God's eternal beauty and love. So universally true is this, the spot where we chance to be always seems the best.
In 1911, Australia's Victorian Railways purchased a pair of McKeen railcars for trial on branch line services. They were the first internal combustion locomotives on the VR. They were unique among the McKeens as the only broad gauge examples ever built. Interestingly, the Queensland Railways also purchased 5, the only ones built to narrow gauge.
The railcars were considered a failure, only lasting 3 years in service. In 1919, they were stripped of engine parts and turned into loco-hauled carriages on the Altona branch, and both were scrapped by 1926.
Predictably, the majority of the work on this model went into the distinctive front nose. It's not quite like the real thing, but I think it's about as close as one can get with lego without having massive gaps or the need to glue things.
While I've designed plenty of Victorian engines, outside of 1 or 2 prototypes I don't usually build them as they don't fit with the rest of my fleet. That said, for sheer quirk factor this one is tempting me. Plus, they were technically hauled through New South Wales to Victoria, so it's not like they never came through here!

At an altitude of 3905 m, the Kupup Lake or Elephant Lake is one of the most scenic high altitude lakes on Old Silk Route, Sikkim, India. Located very close to the Indo-Chinese border, it is one of the most sacred lakes of Sikkim, with high mountains and valleys bordering it. It is the source of the river Jaldhaka.
