I rode the back step on this engine. Think about hanging on doing 50mph down the outer drive on a change of quarters to engine 83 on a cold winter night all alone. (About 6 miles) If you think that you would not bounce up and down on that step you are wrong. Add to that you are by yourself with the other men inside the cab. That is what the new guy had to do.
Watching the Super Tuesday primary/caucus results tonight, and also checking the coolant level in my car. I got a warning a couple days ago that the level was low in the coolant expansion tank, so I topped it up and things seem to be holding.

Two Rolls Royce engines end to end for Sheffield hills!
With chassis made by Dennis in Guildford, Surrey, body built by Alexanders in Falkirk, Scotland and fitted with a Rolls Royce engine to cope with Sheffield's hills, the new bus entered service with South Yorkshire PTE in May 1983, receiving fleet number 2281.
The original livery was South Yorkshire's Tan and Cream. The new bus was allocated to Sheffield's Herries Road garage.
She became Mainline 2281 in June 1993 and was subsequently re-painted into Mainline livery of red and yellow with silver and blue bands above the 'skirt'. The company was sold to its employees on November 18th 1994, becoming Mainline Group Ltd. Mainline joined the First Group in July 1998, becoming First Mainline and then on March 24th 2003, First South Yorkshire.
First Group had embarked on a national renumbering scheme and 2281 became 30430 on February 27th 2003, only to be withdrawn shortly afterwards.
The newly renumbered 30430 passed to Houston Ramm, the Heywood, Lancashire dealer in June 2003, destined for the Barnsley scrap yards - in line with First Group policy not to allow their buses to be sold on for further passenger carrying service.
City Church Sheffield had been looking for a suitable vehicle and First Group gave Houston Ramm permission to sell it to them on condition that it would not be used or sold on as a service bus. The bus was then delivered back to Sheffield in July 2003.
Since then much help has been given by First South Yorkshire at Rotherham and by other volunteers to bring the bus back to a roadworthy condition and to prepare it for its new role. During much of this time it has been housed at the Sheffield Bus Museum at Tinsley.
The aim is to equip the bus with a coffee-bar downstairs and a lounge area on the upper deck. It will then be used in and around Sheffield in connection with the many activities of the church.
And it was!! It was very useful and a great resource too!
