	Route	Description	Photographer
	000	Heres a rather average looking DC9560 Hino BG100 / PMC with Taylor Coaches of Hillwood, Tasmania. Pictured outside their Ridge Street depot/home. However, there was a special and instant connection at first sight...... memories flood back to around 27 years ago, long before the known interest in buses. Back when a child going to town with mum on Ruttys Bus Service! This was ex m/o 6137. The door control, dash, seating colour, lighting and leaking skylight in the step deck were all as I remembered, and thats all I remember of it. I could never picture the bus as a child pulling up at the bus stop, I just knew the interior. Sadly the owner was not home and i could not board or check for a desto roll. Maybe i sound weird.... But, theres something about reliving a long lost childhood moment.	Matthew Jennings

	DR6848	Leyland Worldmaster - GM 6.71	Taylor Coaches - TAS
	Route	Description	Photographer
	000	Heres another gem with Taylor Coaches. Toongabbie Buses purchased several ex PTC Leyland Worldmasters and scrapped their bodies. They refurbished the chassis and repowered them with GM 6.71s, said to be obtained from the NSWGR. They were rebodied by Custom Coaches (1981-82) and they retained their semi auto pneumocyclic gear boxes. The buses passed to Westbus, then onto Deanes Southtrans of Menai. These buses sounded absolutely beautiful and great to ride, as i did when Southtrans operated them. The batch were then sold off far and wide, and this unit was former PTC 2967 and ex m/o 7113. Although the blue stripe across the front is an addition, the bus retains the Southtrans livery and fleet number 34. It was noted the bus is now fitted with an Alison Auto transmission... now that would be interesting to hear!	Matthew Jennings
