Re: BT 128

I really wanted to buy this bus after it was taken out of Service. Damn you! :) It's a bit unique in that it has a taller diff than the other 4 speed's. So as you know, cruises at 100+ easy (I've followed this bus at 110KM/h + on the freeway overtaking cars :lol: ) Only downside I guess is it's a bi...

Re: Brisbane Disposals

Anyone know where they're destined? They have not shown up at auction. Except for S1 858 (training)

Re: Private Operator Observations June - September 2010

Thanks for the info, Hornibrook.

Makes sense, (and White Higer bodies sound interesting!) I just thought it an odd cooincidence that several BCC MKII's were retired, then suddenly GC/ Bus QLD SL200's appeared on auction! :)

Re: [Melb] National MK1 SL-200 Question

Thanks for that guys.. The other thread seems to argue a bit about whether it's actually a 2 speed.. Doesn't seem like a particuarly good choice for that engine. Esp with an 80kph top speed.. Not enough torque 8) If you like the sound of the engine, I have a video I'm TRYINGto process to uplo It's a...

Route 122 was one I saw a couple of SL's running ch...
