Thanks Rich82, - I wonder if that means our Mechwr26 is back ?

Just called in to see Mechwr26 and he was busy at work on 53802, surrounded by a huge cloud of blue smoke... just like he'd never left!

Yes I'm back for 6 months or so.
Was good to see Adam and Jeremy, thanks both for popping in.
37261 is here after a major engine failure but alas the cost of the parts to put it right is getting close to the price for a Volvo recon unit so an new engine is on its way. Shame really as I have not built a d9e engine yet and I fancied a go at one.
53802 expired in Ledbury and now has an engine from a Mercedes Atego truck.
It's good to be back

I thought it was in the old Arriva livery, but it has a graphic 'Women of Steel'!

Just typed Firstbus 37486 into Flickr and yes , on first look there is very little to say it is a First vehicle , maybe thats the general idea . . . . . .

Its the local First SY livery for Sheffield - Thank goodness that that mess hasn't invaded Worcs yet
The "Women of Steel" is to do with how Sheffield is known as the Steel City

Hi, yes it's here to have some engine work done but it's in a queue at the moment as we're rather short staffed. Recently finished overhauling the engines on 66692 and 69450, an engine swap from 64021 into 64030, a gearbox swap on 64012, sorting a long term overheating and air pressure problem with 47513 etc etc. There's plenty to do..
