2619 is seen betwen the Sydney Tramway Museum and Sutherland Shops. This is probably the only AEC regent 3 with a Clyde body to be preserved,

Yes, and any other. I take it there are members there who know how to maintain the buses.idontknow556 wrote:And yes, sometimes the Sydney bus museum operates shuttles between the Tram Museum and Sutherland during special events like the Gala day. Also sometimes during the school holidays or during special events the bus museum operates trips to the tram museum. If you mean by this kind of collaboration.

If this was the case they'd have a post-war underfloor as those were officially promoted as the "tram replacement bus". 615 was a Manly tramway replacement bus so that is legit, but the prewar single decker and 2619 seem to have been acquired as there was nobody else to preserve them. I don't know if the museum has a collection policy that might explain otherwise.
I think their underfloor was lost in the fire a couple of years back.
