Do some lances have turbo? I have heard the whistling sound when i took some of the lances.

The Lance turbo-lag very long, it seems to me to only kick in when only about to shift to 3rd gear.

I believe that the low pitched rumbling is the hub-reduction axle. Another example is 340U of 242.

Low pitch rumbling? There are also some B10Ms which emit a lower pitch also but increases in pitch as the bus accelerates, the pitch is not dependant on rpm but seems to be more dependant on speed of wheels. Is that the hub-reduction axle? What is its anyway?

Seriously, either this place close or we elect mods, this place is collapsing in to shambles and is getting rather disorganised.

i think you are correct. the modification is the middle door, which didn't exist in 'P' bodies, cos most coach bodies (B10M is one) only required a front door.

I seem to recall I got this info when I was surfing the net.

Celebrating here!

Apologies for the rego but the Metroline bus is a gem! a must have for bus fans...
If any of u guys do drop by in HK, u can go to the 80M bus model shop in Allied Plaza in MongKok area or Millenium City 5 opp Kwun Tong MTR.
For the shop in Kwun Tong Area, it has a REAL KMB bus mock up which is part of the store front...

Smooth...... but I will have to make do with the buses around me.

May I beg to know what you mean?

Alexander ‘P’ body I heard, was modified slightly to meet our needs, and hence the extra ‘S’ for S’pore, if I am not mistaken.

2697C has turbo-lag, don’t ask me why, it takes some time, then suddenly the bus accelerates normally.

Btw Apex, how do you know that 9592A become SP???

I thought it is 87 perm

I wonder, yeah, apex, you sure?

Must be flying damn fast for that effect to occur.

What about the SR-71?

good luck.

Sometimes the VSO gets so inaccurate that it arrives at HG (not HG Int) at 1945 instead of 1915, and othertimes, I caught sight of it as early as 1830!

9889U sighted at HG 1245, 1545 today. Not only is the timing quite surprising, but I thought it only do svc on weekdays? I was alerted mainly by its now funny-sounding engine that distinguishes it from the 161 VSOs.

ok - now look out for SBS210L..

Think it will take ages before it gets painted! I saw it yesterday still in SBS livery.

Stop all contradition! Prevent +1 posts!

Nobody can control how you post, we can only tell you what we prefer. So happy posting!

Oh BTW, Happy Christmas to all you folks out here. To your health!

Interesting article you got there! Was it written by a hawk?

I thought I had an encounter with the MIG-29 when I was pottering about at Muar, then and again, I could not really identify the plane which was flying really high-up, but it did leave vapour trails behind it.

haha if an 124 is fun lets wait till an 225... that must be a hell of a target...

6 engines! Lets fire AAA at each one slowly. But before any such bullets can hit it, I think budget constraint would limit the numbers. Talk about birth control!

yes, but on the contrary to this note, SBST actually prefers Voith to ZF at this moment.

SBST chose to get only 3-speed Voiths, though they can actually get a 4-speed equivalent that comes with a 4th overdrive gear, because the buses are speed limited to 60kph anyway. The overdrive will kick in at a speed higher than this, so it's impractical to have a non-working 4th gear.
