More from my rediscovered disc but of some 2006 photos! They're from my first digi camera so the quality is variable but hope you enjoy.
This dates from the WHOTT Rally at Westpoint on 17 Sep 2006; I don't generally do bus rallies so I must've been bored! This shows First Devon and Cornwall VR 38873 LFJ873W newly repainted and refurbished in readiness for the final withdrawal of the type on the 9th December 2006. It is happily preserved in that livery. Former 38844 LFJ844W was a Torpoint example and had recently entered preservation; it has now been restored in the deregulation era livery of cream with blue and red bands.
They were new as Western National 1200 and 1226 respectively.

WM
The third generation WM was launched alongside the VE Commodore on 16 July 2006 at the Melbourne Exhibition and Convention Centre. With the Statesman's export plans, it was decided that its launch should be simultaneous with that of the Commodore, rather than months later, as had been the convention. The WM development programme reportedly cost General Motors A$190 million with another $1.04 billion devoted to the VE Commodore model which the Statesman is based upon. The WM series utilises the GM Zeta platform developed by Holden. Unlike previous models, the WM no longer shares its architecture with an Opel sedan, and has rear doors different from those found on the Commodore. Previously, it had to share the doors, or at least the lower parts, with the lesser Commodore. This is just one of the ways Holden has tried to create greater differentiation between the Statesman and the Commodore on which it is based.
Like the second generation model, the WM is exported to the Middle East as the Chevrolet Caprice. In China, the sister model had been produced as the Buick Park Avenue from 2007, mainly using locally sourced parts and sharing some globally sourced parts. The Park Avenue was discontinued in 2012.
In 2008, Holden recommenced Caprice exports to South Korea as the Daewoo Veritas after showcasing a pre-production Daewoo L4X in 2007. Compared to the Australian-specification model, the Veritas is V6-powered only and has a modified rear floorpan to accommodate the electrically adjustable rear seats incorporating a massage function. The head restraints are also electrically adjustable, with the Caprice's dual headrest-mounted LCD screens orphaned in favour of a single, ceiling-mounted unit. GM Daewoo announced an updated Veritas on 31 March 2009 to take effect from 1 April. The update, which was yet to be seen in other markets, comprised a revised powertrain combination, featuring a new direct injection version of the 3.6 litre Alloytec engine. This new engine results in a power increase from 185 kilowatts (248 hp) to 204 kilowatts (274 hp) together with more torque and a reduced fuel consumption figure. These efficiency improvements have been enough to satisfy the government of South Korea's "Korea Ultra-Low Emission Vehicle" (KULEV) requirements. In place of the five-speed automatic transmission previously, these revised models ship with a six-speed GM 6L50[45] unit, featuring Active Select.
The update to the Veritas in South Korea was adopted in the Holden versions for the 2010 model year (MY10). This update was announced on 4 August 2009, and released in September. The now direct-injected 3.6 litre V6, labelled Spark Ignition Direct Injection (SIDI) by Holden, is rated at 210 kilowatts (280 hp) for power and 350 newton metres (260 lbf·ft) for torque. Gains in efficiency have been achieved via the implementation of direct fuel injection, improvements to the fuel cutout during coasting, the addition of a more efficient alternator and voltage regulator, a 50 rpm lower idle speed (to 550 rpm), and a new "turbine damper" for the automatic transmission that works to suppress vibrations at low rpm, thus enabling earlier upshifts. In 2010 the Veritas was discontinued after GM phased out the Daewoo brand in South Korea in favor of Chevrolet.
In 2010, Holden made the decision to discontinue the Statesman nameplate, instead reducing the price of the upmarket V6 Caprice and filling the gap once occupied by the Statesman. This coincided with the release of the "Series II" versions of the WM Caprice (replacing Statesman), and the introduction of the Caprice V (replacing Caprice).
Since 2011, a version of the Holden Caprice has been sold in US as a police cruiser, called the Chevrolet Caprice PPV (Police Patrol Vehicle). It uses the interior and dashboard of the lower-end Commodore Omega, and is marketed as an alternative to the Chevrolet Impala (produced in Oshawa, Ontario, Canada) for heavy-duty fleet use.
WN
Holden Caprice (WN)
In 2013, Holden released the WN series, being the final Australian-made Caprice. It consisted of new alloy wheels and upgraded dashboard and electronics, both inherited from short-wheelbase Calais V (VF).
There are two engine options, the standard drivetrain is the 3.6-litre SIDI V6 engine rated at 210 kW (280 hp) with the six-speed 6L45E automatic transmission, while there is also an optional 6.0-litre L77 V8 engine rated at 260 kW (350 hp) coupled with the six-speed 6L80E automatic transmission. Both drivetrains are inherited from their Commodore equivalents. Since the WN Series II in 2015, the Caprice received an upgrade to the 6.2-litre LS3 V8 engine, like the donor Commodore model.

In the category of what a difference sixth months makes: Wisconsin Northern GP15-1 1501 pulls some stored covered hoppers towards the diamond at Cameron, WI on 6/12/12.
CN rebuilt both lines here at Cameron in the second half of 2012 with the east-west former Soo Line handling the first sand trains out of Poskin right at the end of 2012.. At the same time they rebuilt the line north to Rice Lake and took back the local traffic to RL and Barron in December. CN runs a nighttime turn out of Ladysmith to work the local traffic and sand business.
So the Wisconsin Northern no longer runs through Cameron, only going to the south end of town to serve the sand load out. What a difference six months, sand traffic, and money makes.
The chassis was a 1935 Leyland Tiger TS7 originally Weymann bodied with South Wales.Silver Service bought it from the war department and had it rebodied DP34F by Willowbrook in 1949.It was in service until 1964 when I bought it from Jim Wooliscroft for £75,still with 6 months C.O.F to run.It had an AEC 7.7 litre engine and AEC gearbox that Jim had bought from Hulley's of Baslow,the fitters at AB Twickenham where I was a driver identified it as an ex LT engine from a T class bus.The radiator was off the ex Salford Titan that had also been rebodied by Willowbrook about the same time as WN.The Leyland badge off of that radiator graced LLU829 ex RTL1050 with Pioneer of Richmond for quite a while. I unfortunately had to sell WN for scrap after it was vandalised together with two brand new Bedford coaches at Hounslow Stars garage.I got £100 for it from Wally Guyatt scrap dealer in Hampton Hill,and bought RT54 from Smiths of Reading with the cash.
