We talked about using blue as the main landscape color on the alien home world. I quickly threw some foliage together and I used light blue as the pathway to give it some contrast.

I got away from work early today and did a quick tour of the Clapham area. Today marks the contract change of routes 35 and 40, with the routes passing from Abellio to Go Ahead. Two types of bus have been bought for the routes, ADL E40H (MMC) and also these rather more unusual MCV EvoSeti devices, on the Volvo B5LH chassis. You can't knock something until you've tried it, so here is MHV5 doing the honours passing the Falcon at Clapham Junction. 30/4/16.
As the economy strengthens in the 1920s, an increasing number of Swedes develop a desire to travel. Trains and buses become the preferred mode of transportation until the passenger car gets its definitive breakthrough.
Volvo introduces its first bus in 1928. It is based on the second series of trucks. The body is crafted by Arvika Vagnsfabrik. The bus carries 15 seats and this particular one is put into service in the Värmland province.
The engine is the same as in the passenger car ÖV4 and the first trucks, where it faces criticism for its modest 28 horsepower. However, this criticism is less significant for buses, given that the highest approved speed is a mere 20 km/h. The bus is a part of an exhibition at the "World of Volvo".
One part of the building "World of Volvo" is a museum - the Volvo history of cars, trucks and buses since the very first Volvo left the factory in Gothenburg in 1927. Another part is a big exhibition about the present and the future, with funny activities in connection with Volvo, to do for the whole family. There is also a restaurant and a café. The building opened to the public in 2024.
