Nowadays, Underframes are delivered by trailer. Unlike the stout Mercedes Chassis, Underframes do not have sufficient strength to support themselves or be driven.

They need a Transportation Frame for this. :nerd_face:

This Scania Underframe shows the Transportation Frame (yellow) clearly.

FoL#2 helps run buses in Bristol and recently had to put some routes out to tender as the previous operator had folded. They were taken up by an operator out of Brighton called The Big Lemon & he was delighted to find that their vehicles were electric, the first such in Bristol.

I remember when they started in Brighton, they got really old buses, painted them yellow and powered them with recycled chip fat.

We’ve all been there. Your Leyland Olympian has developed an Engine Fault Condition.

Put t’kettle on, prepare your tools; workshop equipment and watch this useful video.

And don’t be tempted to ‘Roll Coal’ as you’ll fuck your engine up.
