Caboose hop? Spent a day in the Kansas City West bottoms in May of 1979. Almost immediately confronted by KC Police, a very friendly officer told me I could stay as long as I wanted, but he took down all my information to make it easier to identify my body if they found it later.
Wearing some interesting graffiti, MP 705777 sits in West Chicago yard. This is a 2980 cu. ft. car built in July 1981.
Screw it, i'll throw this one in as well...
East Yorkshire seem to have quite a good relationship with Manchester based independant, MP Travel.
MP Travel seem to own quite a bit of ex EYMS stock, with them taking ownership of an ex EYMS primsa, ALX300 and now a president?
This now is in what i'm guessing is MP Travel standard, and honestly from the rear, it suits the president!
Seen probably near enough done from paints, is ex EY, now MP Travel plaxton president B7TL YY52LCK (ex EYMS 670)

Second stint at MP Travel for ADL's Volvo B8RLE / Plaxton Panther demonstrator.
It is seen in Warrington prior to taking up an evening works contract service to the Omega development site which is located north west of the town on the former RAF Burtonwood airbase.
Back from repaint into Megabus blue and gaining the registration ME10BUS in the process, former Kings Ferry (Latterly Stantons), MP Travel's Caetano Winner stands in the yard after returning from the painters.
Development off of the MP.48 in my photostream. I thought that a .45 to launch a grenade was really illogical when I thought it up, so I made it.
9x23mm 7N46 machine pistol.
A powerful select-fire machine pistol developed at the behest of the Russian federal army, intended to replace the older MP-443 Grach and Makarov PM, both of which were previously in service.
Based off of multiple pistol prototypes, the MP-486 bears some resemblance of the cancelled HK UCP, limited production Archwell AMP-9, first-generation Glock, FN Five-seven, and the Grach.
The proprietary 9x23mm 7N46 round that the MP-486 fires is a diminutive variant of the normal 9x23mm used by the VSS Vintorez - it has a shorter casing with a more powerful powder load, giving the pistol rifle-grade firepower at the expense of higher recoil.
The pistol is truly deadly when set in full auto, as the Gadyuka fires at a monstrous 1350 RPM, remarkably faster than any machine pistol in the market, but to tame the recoil generated while firing at such rates is a whole different affair.
Other features include a threaded barrel for special operations, 20-round magazine, bottom rail mount, a pressure switch pocket for tactical laser and flashlights, and a unique hammer that serves a chamber load indicator, and is decocked when the safety is on.
