Thanks Graham - training buses are like homing pidgeons at times! The simulator experience of feeling ill is common - many people have commented on that....
Have just posted a few pics in the file 'KMB Driving School' which I will remove again shortly. Prior to arriving, I knew I was close by the number of training...
Would be very interested in the simulator pics - had a go in one or two over here and will be interested to see how they compare. Maybe I can convince my lot...
Had a great time, as always, and met up with quite a few friends, new and old (not necessarily in age!). Was priveledged to be invited to the KMB Driving...
I suspect that KMB don't need to worry too much about tree's in their urban operation. Citybus may if their bus runs on the routes down to Stanley. The...
Interestingly, photos of this vehicle at ADL's Hong Kong 'workshop', along with the Citybus example, show them both to have tree deflectors fitted on both...
Actually I already have two KMB AM models, one in rt. 203 and 212 for the other. I don't think I will go to buy the diecast version again, as well as the one...
As Sailormoonbus said, AM and AL will be delay to next year. At this moment, I got the news that AL will be delay until or before Chinese New Year Holiday. But...
I got some news that the KMB Air-conditioned Leyland Olympian AL class will be delay and not release until next year, so now what we can do now probably just...
80M are now advertising Best Choose CMB Volvo Olympian VA64 on their website, so that's another one to ask Father Christmas for. Still no sign of the pair of...
Andrew, I would agree with you that it doesn't seem like another year has passed, but maybe that is partly down to my age - they say time goes quicker when you...
It doesn't seem that long ago that the 10th anniversary of the OMB site was the subject of discussion; therefore it was a little surprising (alarming?) to see...
My past three orders from HK have taken around ten days longer than normal for a delivery from Hong Kong, and the two wee eBay extras I ordered from HK for my...
Hi Guys, Another weird and wonderful creation for some movie set in the US: http://www.flickr.com/photos/thekelt/3960821216/in/set-72157622343785949/ Have a...
I see the images are also on the 312 pbase site: http://www.pbase.com/312model/inbox Is AL1 that popular to warrant the production of another model? My...
I've tried the "usual" three and I cannot find a supplier with the KMB AL Class Olympians on their website yet despite it being a couple of weeks since they...
I received my model today, not bad having placed my order last Friday evening, and the Post Office tried to deliver it yesterday without success! I have posted...
Thanks again Graham for clarifying - I was sure thre was talk somewhere about these buses being hybrids. Still, whatever they are they will add further...
Details of new vehicle orders for the three main Hong Kong operators was announced on my site on 1st March this year. It includes one Enviro400 for both...
Tyres and tyre wear are also massive cost saving benefits, I was given the impression that a much smaller and lighter air-con unit has been developed, when...
You're right about the timing with the B7 noise issue, however it effectively canned orders for the B9 for at least 18 months. After we trialled one for a few...
Although TfL did "ban" B7s, they did it when the model was being phased out anyway, so it didn't actually have that much of an impact. There is also a mod now...
Sorry to spoil the party but our engineers and our opertators (and my experience with my training fleet) is that they (B7's) can be bloody unreliable at times!...
Both, but quality does appear to be far worse on the Scottish bit than the Surrey bit. I wouldn't agree that E200 and E400 are safe bets. A Volvo B9 (and...
Are we talking body or chassis? The Alexander body alwyas had a pretty poor reputation (here in London at least!) with some poor QC issues on various batches...
