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First Group had embarked on a national renumbering scheme and 2281 became 30430 on February 27th 2003, only to be withdrawn shortly afterwards.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!
A visit to our old Tullibody home area included a call-in to see what was going on at Boness. Well, this loco was in service that day - but things were not quite as they seemed....
The BR liveried J94 was actually an industrial look-a like WD that had been supplied to the WD in 1945 , transferred to
Comrie (Fife) NCB before being purchased for preservation .A good job of 'converting' it to BR condition had been done - BUT why number the loco as only the seventh of a class of at least 75 locos?
I found this image striking when it came off the memory card because the red painted lines showing where the shell of the engine has been cut away look remarkably like the overlay cameras use to show you areas of under or over-exposure but that's exactly how it came out. Taken at the Cosford RAF Museum in Wolverhampton.

Usually a photo snapped off to the side when driving 75mph results in motion blur. Not, however, when passing a train moving at 70mph.

Bessemer and Lake Erie 2-10-4 steam locomotive number 643 located in McKees Rocks, PA. Manufactured in 1943.
The best I have been able to find out is that it was restored in the 1980s but has sat since then. Safety standards have changed so it would need to be re-restored.
The property owner would not let me on to the property to take better pictures so these were taken through the chain link fence. If there wasn't barbed wire, I might have jumped it.
From stories by The Reverend Wilburt Awdry started telling his son stories in 1943 wrote his first bookin 1945 he wrote 26 in all then his son carried on and wrote 40 more. Loved by children of all ages
