On the other hand the early edition, as used on the Royal Tiger OPSU1, was evidently troublesome at times, as evidenced by the comment made in respect of Sydney 2520. Does anyone know if this originally had the air-assistance unit? Sorry to be a bit slow to react Yes 2520 did have the air assist fi...

Not at 3am looking through the fog in the middle of winter for the bridge where you have to jump off not much of a blast

What a crock "pmc Dennings" prob had a refurb or major repair & pmc saw an opportunity to chuck a badge on a quality vehicle for brownie points, but just lowering the vehicles value. Awesome & cheap when dry halving (generous depending on roof hatches) your seating capacity when ra...

It will depend on the coach you buy... yes, some older coaches, fitted with a GM and Allison auto will only get 1 km to the litre... :cry: I would work on an average of 2.9 for a newer coach. Have a real good look at maintenance expenses, then double your guess!!! ... parts are not cheap and you wi...

Mo 6133 was a Royal Tiger

Too many people say "ya gotta drive em like ya hate em" not true 1800 to 1900 for a 92 series works great. & rarely leaves oil over the back. anything over 1900 which I think is max torque is just using fuel. If it was a Mack your best changing at 1600 as that is max torque so any revs...

Drivers being paid trip money, Tony. That has always been the problem. Previously, most coal went to O'Briens drift on the Mt Kembla Rd and was railed to Port Kembla. Doc68 will be able to elaborate. There were way way less accidents on this road when 4 then 3 & down to 2 mines were bringing co...
