Some pictures and a discovery.....

As promised ages ago, I've taken some photos of 2413 as she is now, unfortunately with a dead lifter pump, she's not going anywhere right now. So the pics aren't necessarily the best in terms of setting. A bit of background, on Good Friday there was some reorganising of the storage yard, with 1930 running and with "my two" always seeming to be seperated by a bus or lined up one behind the other, I thought bugger it, I'll put them side by side. Meaning 1930 was placed beside 2413 under a tree on the southern side of the yard...

To start off, John Bottle managed to dig up a shot of 2413 in service just after being painted into corporate back in mid 1997

The rear of both 1930 and 2413, further across leyland leopard ex MO 0305 and ex
3521 AEC Reliance, aka "Mrs Whippy"





The nearside ad free!


2413's offside - note how most of the blue paint on the upsweep has come off over the years as ad's have been changed - the red line has stubbornly remained

2413's rear - again the blue paint's come away after years of ad swapping - note the latter hella style lights - it seemed to be a common done thing at Kingsgrove moreso than other depots


Hopefully soon I will get some better posed shots
