The Volkswagen Type 1 is an economy car produced by the German auto maker Volkswagen (VW) from 1938 until 2003. It used an air cooled rear engined rear wheel drive RR layout.
In the 1950s it was more comfortable and powerful than most European small cars, having been designed for sustained high speed on the Autobahn, and ultimately became the longest-running and most-produced automobile of a single design. It remained a top seller in the US, even as rear-wheel drive conventional subcompacts were refined, and eventually replaced by front-wheel drive models. Its success owed much to its extremely high build quality, and innovative and eye catching advertising. The Beetle car was the benchmark for both generations of American compact cars such as the Chevrolet Corvair, and subcompact cars such as the Chevrolet Vega and Ford Pinto. It was a German equivalent and counterpart to the Morris Minor, Renault 4CV, Citroen 2CV, Fiat 600, Saab 92, and Volvo PV444 immediate post war European economy cars. The 1959 Austin Mini that pioneered the use of the transverse front wheel drive FF layout, was the beginning of a switch to front wheel drive by European manufacturers in the 1960s and 1970s, Volkswagen were among the last to change with the Golf, after nearly going bankrupt. The Beetle was thirteen feet long and the Mini was only ten feet, but they had similar interior space.
The car was originally known as Käfer, the German word for "beetle", from which the popular English nickname originates. It was not until August 1967 that the Volkswagen corporation itself began using the name Beetle in marketing materials in the US. In Britain, VW never used the name Beetle officially. It had only been known as either the "Type I" or as the 1100, 1200, 1300, 1500, or 1600 which had been the names under which the vehicle was marketed in Europe; the numbers denoted the vehicle's approximate engine size in cubic centimetres. In 1998, many years after the original model had been dropped from the lineup in most of the world (production continued in Mexico until discontinued, officially on 9 July 2003), VW introduced the "New Beetle" (built on a Volkswagen Golf Mk4 platform) which bore a cosmetic resemblance to the original.

The Mercedes-Benz W111 was a chassis code given to its top-range vehicles, including 4-door sedans, produced from 1959 to 1968, and 2-door coupes and cabriolets from 1961 to 1971.
Mercedes-Benz emerged from World War II as an automaker in the early 1950s with the expensive 300 Adenauers and the 300SL roadsters that gained it fame, but it was the simple unibody Pontons that were the volume models. However, in both their construction and design, the Pontons were archaic, based on 1940s models of U.S. sedans.
Work on replacing these cars began in 1956, and the design focused on passenger comfort and safety. The basic Ponton cabin was widened and squared off, with larger glass area improving driver visibility. A milestone in car design were front and rear crumple zones that would absorb kinetic energy from impact. The automaker also patented retractable seatbelts. (The death toll in the new generation cars would be less than half that of the pontons.)
The exterior was designed for the European and North American markets. The body was modern and featured a characteristic tailfins that gave gave the models their nickname — the fintail (German: Heckflosse).
Series production of the 4-door sedan began in August 1959, and the car was premiered at the Frankfurt Auto Show in autumn. Initially the series consisted of three models the 220b, 220Sb, and the 220SEb. These replaced the 219 W105, the 220S W180 and the 220SE W128 Ponton sedans respectively.
Design of a replacement for the two-door Pontons began in 1957, as most of the chassis and drivetrain were to be unified with the sedan, the scope was focused on the exterior styling. Some of the mock-ups and prototypes show that Mercedes-Benz attempted to give the two-door car a front styling almost identical to what would be realised in the Pagoda roadster, but ultimately favoured the work of engineer Paul Bracq. The rear bodywork however, persisted, and thus, though officially still called a fintail the rear end design had no chrome fin highlights. Production began in late 1960, and in February of the next year the coupe was premiered in Stuttgart for the 75th anniversary of the opening of Mercedes-Benz Museum.

18/08/2014. Volvo B10M's 20685 and 20697 are seen here parked alongside each other in Blackwood bus station.
20685 was new to Stagecoach West in a batch 10 which were split between Swindon and Cheltenham depot's.
She was transfered to Aberdare depot in November 2011 after Merthyr Tydfil based 20826 was scrapped after being involved in a road traffic accident. As a semi coach seated vehicle, she was allocated to service 172/72 after a repaint.
With the arrival of new Scania Enviro 300's in October 2012, she found herself transfered to Brynmawr depot and allocated to services X15 and Tuesday's only X74.
With the closure of Brynmawr depot on the 21st July this year, she came to Blackwood depot where she joined fellow B10M 20697 on school and staff shuttle duties.
20697 was new to Stagecoach in Cambridge as 317 and used on Park and Ride services.
She was transfered to Brecon outstation for use on school contracts. In August 2013, she was transfered further down the valley's to Blackwood depot for use on the town free Asda bus service.
Having been displaced from her role on the A1 in January this year by a Volvo B10BLE from Cwmbran, she received a repaint back into Stagecoach livery and was re-allocated to school and staff shuttle duties.
She does however, still put in the occasional appearance on local services in and around the town.
With these two fine beasts parked next to each other, it was impossible to resist taking a photograph!
Fantastic vehicles.

I would like to present to you my latest and smallest MOC I did ever build - Light Transport Vehicle (LTV) FORMICA The name Formica is taken from an ant species name. This reflect the LVT design in term of light, fast and able to do a heavy duty work transport like an ant would. This LVT is carrying variety of ammo and fuel. This vechile is able to carry two more passengers beside the driver.
This will be added on to my WIP diorama. A great additional MOC that will add some scene to it.
The previous version of this model I posted was classy and restrained. Well then, 'tis about time to take a U-turn and go bonkers... HotWheels style!
Those old console pieces mesh flawlessly with the mudguards' curvature to make an epic blower. Who needs visibility either way? .)

Completely new body in very modern style. The look of car reminded some critics of a bath tub, and it consequently gained the soubriquet "Taunus Badewanne". At a time when competitors boasted that all four corners of the vehicles were visible from the driver's seat, the new Taunus instead offered a streamlined form. However, in Germany the concept of streamlining in cars was associated with narrow passenger cabins reminiscent of the 1930s and of the still popular Volksagen Beetle. The new Taunus, however, provided greater interior width than its predecessor despite being no wider on the outside. Although the 1.7 litre version was launched with the same 60 PS power output as the outgoing model, the new model was a full 10 km/h (6 mph) faster, which was attributed to improved aerodynamics and a lighter bodyshell.

DETAILS FOR THIS VEHICLE.
Location : Tonbridge West Yard.
Date : 08/09/1986.
Type : 26 ton capacity Ferry Open Tube Wagon.
Weight : 40 t GLW / 14 t Tare.
Number : 21 70 609 4 044-2 (B 733224).
Number Series : 21 70 609 4 040-x to 21 70 609 4 059-x (B 733220 to B 733239).
Builder : 1959 by British Railways Darlington Works.
TOPS Code : ZDX (ex OIX).
UIC Code : FFs.
Designation : TUBE / BATTERN.
Lot No. : 3259.
Diagram No. : 1/449.
ADDITIONAL NOTES.
These Ferry Tube wagons were formerly revenue fleet vehicles and coded OIX. The main difference between this batch and the Standard Tube wagons coded STV was the fitting of two side doors rather than a central one and the requirement for UIC standard buffers and air brakes. Hence they were dual braked from new in a time when BR was largely a vacuum braked freight network. By 1982 the bulk of the fleet had been transferred to the BR departmental fleet and coded ZDX. Some reverted to their BR numbers in the B 733xxx range while others retained their UIC numbers. The UIC vehicles were retained to allow wagon parts for UK registered wagons crippled abroad to be conveyed into Europe via the Dover-Dunkerque train ferry. Hence this vehicle is lettered for the MEs RSE (Mechanical Engineers / Rolling Stock Engineers). On this occasion the wagon was in use conveying wagon spares to the C&W Sidings in Tonbridge West Yard.

As Eclusa expanded across the Central Steppes, their security situation shifted from defending an small urbanized state to protecting a thousand kilometers of grasslands. In response, an exiled Osiron racing company (based in Eclusa after the YSSR invasion) designed the Steppe Attack Vehicle. It's small, speedy, and completely unarmored, but its superior mobility allows troops to make lightning-quick raids against supply lines or other vulnerable assets. This model is shown armed with a Zuritanian ATGM, but the majority of SAVs carry a heavy machine gun and a simpler unguided rocket launcher. Early test versions were also fitted with recoilless rifles, but the force from firing was still enough to flip the buggies over, so they were abandoned. SAVs sometimes operate in conjunction with motorcycle units, which are even more mobile at the expense of armament.
It's one of these! I rendered this in Stud.io.
