This Summer's variety of vehicles at New Adventure Travel's Morriston depot continues with the recent arrival of this Wright Eclipse Gemini-bodied Volvo B7TL from Newport. She is one of seven new to Arriva's London North subsidiary that entered the fleet in 2015 after conversion from dual to single door configuration. New as LT52 USE, she has also carried VLT 25 and now sports H5 KFJ, which has been carried by a number of former NAT vehicles.
Her role at Newport is on commercial local bus services that carry large numbers of schoolchildren in the peak periods.

A very rare sight, the South Western Ambulance Service command unit. This is kept at the HART base although it was previously kept at a Bristol fire station. I'm only aware of a few photos of this vehicle.

Finally finished this roughly 1:10 scale project I've started long ago - it took me a while to come up with the shapes as I wanted them to be, but the work is now over. Some elements and their sizes still don't really match the original vehicle, but let's call this a necessary sacrifice :D
Shoutout to VerSen for amazing photos!

Vehicle 3
Again I was loosely inspired by Thunderbirds.
Check out the new Video
It contains a batterybox, IR reciever and two M-motors which enable me to drive this thing.
(see the VIDEO to judge its performance, remember, torque, not speed).
Other than vehicle 4 this one actually has an interior and can fit 2 minifgures in the cabin, the rest of the vehicle's interior is consumed by the batterybox, IR receiver and the motors.
Each of its tracks is connected to a drive shaft and is fitted with a shock absorber, this kind of suspension worked very well on one of my previous tanks (Skull tank). On this vehicle it's less efficient because of its weight, in my previous tank I didn't have to bother about the batterybox (the skull tank was not wireless). fortunatly it works.

I absolutely loved the picnic basket in the back of this...what a dream!
This nostalgic beauty is owned by Joe and Jana Schwartz. The Nomad is powered by a 265 cid stock motor connected to the wheels by a 2-speed Glide Transmission. The A/C is original.
Move in for a closer look...
Chevy Nomad
The Chevrolet Nomad was a station wagon model produced by the Chevrolet Division of General Motors. The Nomad is best remembered in its two-door 1955-57 form, and was considered a halo model during its three-year production as a two-door station wagon.
1955-1957
The two-door Nomad differed from other station wagons of the era by having unique styling more reminiscent of a hardtop than of a standard station wagon. Chevrolet shared this body with its sister Pontiac, which marketed their version as the Pontiac Safari.
The Nomad's unique design had its roots in a General Motors Motorama show car of the same name that was based on the Corvette. The Concept was introduced at the GM Motorama in 1954 as one of Head Stylist, Harley Earl's "dream cars".
GM approved production of the vehicle if the design could be transferred to its standard model, because top GM brass felt that they could sell more models if it were attached to the popular Bel Air model.
While considered to be a milestone vehicle design, General Motors discontinued the original Nomad at the end of the 1957 model year due to low sales and the introduction of a new body for 1958.

I don't know if the ambulance is new to Bristol Ambulance or being disposed.
Some years ago, I played World of Tanks and I decided to build a Second World War style heavy tank for the Esthian Empire.
The vehicle eventually evolved into a super heavy tank, the CC-40.
For two years, the (entire) Esthian Imperial Army was basically the CC-40 Super Heavy Tank, the Yari tank destroyer vehicle and a few towed artillery pieces.
Recently, I decided to rebuild the Imperial Army to it´s former glory and extensive resources were spent in upgrading the anti-aircraft, IFVs and artillery systems.
However, the main tank continued to be the CC-40, which required an urgent replacement.
With the introduction of the CC-35 Medium tank, I decided to upgrade the CC-40 into a more capable vehicle while I develop a new Heavy Tank. I want to become a good tank builder in the future, like so many were before me.
And so the CC-40M upgrade package was introduced.
Armament:
The new vehicle replaces the older 140mm gun for a new, much more powerful version, the CSP-140 XE, which can fire all the latest types of armour piercing shells.
The fear of low altitude UCAVs led to the introduction of an automatic double launcher for the “Fasta” anti-aircraft missile and the replacement of the 20mm auto-cannon for a new, much more powerful weapon.
New and highly advanced systems were also introduced to help the tank hit enemy vehicles at more than 5km, either during day or night operations.
The vehicle now only has a crew of 3, commander, gunner and driver.
Protection:
Protection was the main reason to upgrade the vehicle, both passively and actively. Extensive quantities of external armour panels were added to destroy incoming rounds, including adding ERA blocks on the sides and front of the vehicle. Automatic passive systems were also installed to destroy enemy missiles fired at great distances.
Most info about the protection systems on the vehicle is highly classified.

This week folks, marks the 30th anniversary of the launch of the Leyland Tiger. The launch took place during the middle of March 1981 and what a launch it was. Rather than launch the Tiger in Leyland, Lancashire, which is not the most glamorous location at the best of times. Leyland Bus top brass decided to hold the most fabulous launch ever for a vehicle outside of the UK. Rob Orchard, who master minded the launch, claims, it was cheaper not to have launched the Tiger in the UK, but he did not pick the bill up. The big launch took place over five days at Gibraltar and Tangier. Two groups of the trade press and operators were treated to the most expensive launch ever, the cost was over one million pounds, of tax payers money. In my eyes, it was a waste of money, my reason is: the three main customers for the Tiger, NBC, SBG and Ulsterbus, who between them purchased 350 Tigers each year, never needed to be told to purchase the Tiger, because they would be buying it! A large number of the operators flown over to Gibraltar, were buying DAF and Volvo coaches and would never buy a Tiger. By the end of 1981, only 100 Tigers were on the road, why launch a coach in March, when operators place orders for new coaches during the Autumn. Bedford launched their new YNT chassis at the 1980 Motor Show, with the first entering service with operators during the first four months of 1981, so Bedford got it right. After the big launch, Leyland ran ''the Tiger Strikes Back'' campaign and more money wasted. Leyland should have invested more money into the the deveopment of the Tiger and a better back up, more so in Europe. The glorly years for the Tiger was 1983,84 and 85 when it was the top selling coach chassis in the UK, selling 500 each of these years, apart from 1983, when sales topped 700 that year, most for the NBC. By 1986, the Volvo B10M knocked the Tiger of its number one spot. In 1990 only 98 Tigers were sold, the reson for this, the two main customers the NBC and SBG had being privatised.When production of the Tiger ceased in 1991 a grand total of 4,450 had been built. My photograph shows an Ellen Smith of Rochdale Duple Dominant IV Tiger, which was one of the first on the road in 1981.

Tiger faults:-
The TL11 engine was under developed, main faults- oil leaks, piston liners weak, also under powered with only 218bhp on tap, towards the end of 1981 the Tiger 245 was announced. The TL11 engine originally had a one speed governor, this resulted in a surge of power when pulling away, great for the semi-automatic transmission, but not good with the ZF maunal transmission. When the Tiger 260 was announced in 1984, it used an all speed governor, which was later fitted to all the versions of the TL11 engines. The TL11 engine sat high in the chasis, which made removing the fuel injectors a problem, from 1986, the TL11 engine sat lower down. Other problems that the Tiger suffered from: Eaton rear axle suffered from cown wheel weakness, early Tigers used ram power assited steering shared with the Leopard, great when you have a large steering wheel like the Leopard, not good with the small Tiger steering wheel. The semi/fully automatic Hydracylic transmission was troublesum and took many years before all the bugs had been shaken out it. Without doubt, the Tiger had the best air suspension fitted to any mid-engined single deck chassis. The suspension was based on the Danish DAB system, DAB at the time were part of British Leyland.
