LA517

Hi guys, I'm one of the owners of LA517 and thought I'd add a few points to the thread. The bus is in a very complete condition but will require new frames below the lower deck windows as being steel these have rusted badly. It will also probably need new floors as the wood has rotted in places, alt...

I think the McKindless one is one of the Newcastle "Jumbos" - similar to the Glasgow ones on the surface. I await the scrapping of this as it is bound to yield me some bits! Not sure what the yellow one is, but I am pretty sure that no other Glasgow ones survive outwith those preserved or ...

The one in Motherwell is the ill-fated LA697 which seemed so close to completely restored but at the moment whose fate is undecided. I don't think one of the owners wants to sell it, but at the same time doesn't seem too bothered about finishing it. A real shame as this is a now unique 2 door LA and...

uniform and stuff

Old Underground Carriage

Hi all, It will interest some of you who don't know that there is an old Underground carriage sitting rotting in the old Possilpark bus garage. It may belong to Michael Roulston of Bus World but I think it needs a good home. Anyone with an interest, a big garden and a wadge of money might like to fo...

GGPTE uniform

Hi, Perhaps someone can help. I am looking for part of a gents GGPTE/SPTE uniform. It is a little sad, but an important part of the "look" when my preserved Atlanteans are finished - the driver dressed in jeans and t-shirt would detract a bit from my attention to other details when at a ra...
