Hi all,

) on show. I'll post pics soon.

Cheers,

Is it a preserved unit on display?
Or is it some sort of showroom for something?

Is it Rawson Electricals?

Rclasstramcar · Post by **Rclasstramcar** » Sat Dec 10, 2011 6:16 pm

Neither. It's on show, but as an artwork. I may have pics tomorrow. Rawson's SL202 survives http://www.busaustralia.com/forum/viewt ... 60#p751660 unless they had an SL200 too?

That's an SL200, it even says so in the thread title...

From The Parramatta Ryde fleet list

m/o 4928 MAN SL200 292-0018-0018 Paramatta Ryde - 6/80 B47D
STA 28/2/00 - Transferred to Tempe for sale.
Sold to TJT Bus and Coach Training, Silverwater as XJF 243, then TJT 011, then with business to Royce's Driving School still as TJT 011. Noted on several occasions operating charters under Gala Tours & Bus Hire, Five Dock accreditation, but still owned by Royce. Withdrawn & transported to Cockatoo Island for use in the Outpost Protect (a street-art exhibition) 4/11/11-11/12/11.

Not a PMC body.

From that it appears to be the last day is today.

Moved to NSW photos

That's a work of art?

Rclasstramcar · Post by **Rclasstramcar** » Sun Dec 11, 2011 7:36 pm

Can anyone please tell me what make of body it has?

Ben, learning about buses

Swift · Post by **Swift** » Sun Dec 11, 2011 7:43 pm

It has a body built by Parramatta Ryde Bus Service themselves. They bodied alot of their own vehicles.

What a terrible undertaking it will be to remove that mess off the bus!

There is a story about MO-4928 as it was what I read that it was in the cargo hole of a ship with other MAN SL200s bound for ACTION in Canberra on the voyage to Australia the ship encounted some really bad weather and the seas got really bad and there were some shipping containers in the hole with the SL200s.One of the containers broke loose and MO-4928 ended up being squashed against the wall of the ship by the shipping container there was something about it in I think Truck & Bus magazine about it.

How sad.... what a mess.... Ironlak (in desto) are a supplier aimed at the feral oxygen thieving scum vandals of this ####ed world.... shoot them all.
Even those who put sticker tags on stuff.... How can anyone be proud of this sort of filth ?

There may still be a few here that remember my views, and some agreed, that this bus should've been preserved by the bus museum, and not ex m/o 612 Leyland Leopard.

What a horrible end for such a nice old MAN which deserved so much better.

This bus should have been preserved, makes my blood boil to see such a unique bus destroyed by such garbage. Even a motorhome conversion would've been preferable.

How dare they promote f*cked up XXX like this as art when the industry is battling with this filth on a daily basis.

Rather than bleating on that "somebody" should preserve it, why not put your money up and purchase it yourselves? If it weren't for the fact that I'm somewhat over-comitted with 3 buses already I'd give it serious consideration!

Thats the bus myself and several other board members got their licences in, sad to see it like that

I can verify that as being true as I read that article in Truck and Bus when I was still in school and I also fondly remember working on that bus during my 10 month stint at Parra-Ryde. The container actually fell on top of it though.
