    I'm getting very teary eyed looking at the old London buses especially the green country buses, I remember as a young boy getting the 410 or 411 bus from my home in Bletchingley, Surrey to either Redhill or Reigate.
    I left England in 1977 to live in Australia, I am now 70 and living in Cambodia.
    I hope I will get the chance to return to England and ride on a London bus one more time.
    Many thanks for taking me back in time 😊👍

  • @andrewsnoozy

    Thanks for the video. Love these old buses. I think my favourite is the Bristol Lodekka FLF6LX, quite simply for the magnificent noise from the Leyland O.600 or O.680 engine and the amazing whine of the semi-automatic gear-box. There is nothing like it, or as good and it was fantastic to actually catch one of these buses and ride on it. Your buses like all other older buses are just NOT boring! They are noisy and bumpy unlike modern buses and I have great and happy memories and its so good that people like yourself are preserving them. Thankyou.

    Hi Pete. It was great to see a brief glimpse of Samuel Ledgard's RLH, I have many happy memories of these buses which I often rode on to primary school in the 1960's. I remember the commotion on the top deck when someone on the inner left seat had to have three people move to let them out. The drop down into the trough from the seating bays was also a challenge for some. Remember in those days buses were always full and the top deck was usual thick with cigarette smoke, Happy days. p.s. I use Craftmaster paints, I prefer to roll on with a 4" foam roller and lay off with a Purdey brush, good luck.

    Enjoyed this video again. The RLH bit was very reminiscent... I used to take green ones to school and back. Also, RLH32 (the one in blue and white now) travelled to the Netherlands on a rally in about 1980 which I was involved in. So interesting memories. Mind you, the low bridge design was a nuisance; if you had a window seat upstairs and needed to get off when the bus was full, it meant quite some acrobatics!

    @TheDreadnoughtgames 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Hey Pete - as someone that's experienced exactly the same issues as you did when painting my Triumph GT6, have a look on TH-cam for how to move the spray gun when painting - basically you need to hold the gun steady at exactly 90 degrees to the panel and then move yourself a lot more, with a little flick off / on at the end of each sweep. If you do this you'll get much more even coverage before you then cut back and polish. Also, I used 4 grades of polish and got amazing effects, even if you do have a little orange peel... Brilliant channel though - love the vids!!

    Hi Pete, RLH 53 MXX 253; was one of a number of these buses that were stored at my old London Transport garage Poplar.
    I started as an engineering garage trainee there, and I remember these buses were covered in thick dust and bird's droppings. The interiors and cushions, were also a health hazard too. Absolutely filthy.
    Thanks for posting your films and showing your work. Strange to think that not too long ago, LT had an army of people employed in their own bus overhaul works. Sad to say that it's all gone now, just like the knowledgeable men who passed on their skills to me and other youngsters.
    Don't rush things, steady as you go, great films many thanks.👍

      @@PeteAndHisBus Thanks Pete. The coachmakers, painters, and the blokes I worked with down the pits had many decades of bus work and experience under their belts.
      In those days when I started I noticed these men carried out their work tasks in an unhurried way. Their own personal standards were very high indeed. If the job wasn't right, then they would work hard to make it right. Just as you are doing today.
      You are certainly moving forward, but don't be put off when a bit of red paint doesn't go on right. You certainly will get there, and all the problems and ar*e ache will be sorted out. Keep posting your films, time permitting. Don't rush it mate,I'm sure my old Poplar garage workmates would agree.
      Thanks again for all your films, and for the run out on RLH 53. Many of these little buses, were collected by 'Wombwell diesels' scrap metal dismantlers
      One bloke who collected these buses only had one arm. Try driving a bus with a pre-select gearbox, with only one arm. 😕Bloody hell we couldn't believe it. Cheers.👍 Jonnie.

    Great episode Pete, loved the section on RLH53 ... and it’s run over the 171 route with 7 other RLH’s .. RLH53 looks stunning .. it’s interesting to note she spent 40 years across the pond in USA (where quite a few of her sisters ended up because their low height was ideal for the States). You will have seen my favourite RLH48 ... yes she’s Green! .. but for many years she was owned by Richard Proctor who had ridden in her to school on Route 336 from Amersham to Rickmansworth back in the early 1950’s .. and he would bring her back to Amersham every October for the Annual Running Day... perhaps you could persuade RLH53’s owner to bring her down one year?

    In the late 1970s I was a commercial vehicle paint sprayer. We used enamel too, but instead of thinning it we loosened the lid and stood the tin in hot water (it was a bit like a tea urn that we used) and sprayed the paint while it was hot and thin, it then thickened up when it cooled down.

    Great to see another clip up Pete and looks like Summer is cranking up in the UK. Painting is never an easy task and so much to learn and so much pressure to have it looking pristine! One piece of advice I would give is use longer strokes - one full stroke side to side on that panel rather than the 2 smaller stokes. Keep up the great work. Cheers from New Zealand.

    So glad to see you took all the advice and started to wear a mask. BUT... that appears to be a dust mask. The paint dust is certainly bad for you but the organic vapors are much worse. You need a mask that's rated for both, with replaceable cartridge filters. I'm not always as good as I should be about PPE but this is one area I always pay attention to.

    All you can do is keep trying, you'll get there in the end. Good luck. I live in a town that had to use the RML's because of its 1856 railway bridge and remember the weird configuration upstairs.

    Hi Pete, another great video, but watching you fitting the Panel - was that an orb you captured.... keep up the good work it will be worth it when finished.

  • @a1topdog
    @a1topdog 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    A couple of observations with your painting:
    - Your gun looks quite small, are you sure it's not a touch up gun?
    - the spray fan is quite narrow, could be linked to point 1.
    - do longer passes right across the panel without releasing the trigger.
    - overlap the previous pass by 1/3rd
    - Keep the gun perpendicular to the panel for the full pass
    - the distance of the gun from the panel should be about the same as from the tip of your thumb to the tip of your little finger when they are stretched out.
    - the dimples in the paint could be caused by what ever you are using to wipe the panel down before painting. Doesn't sound like it's fully evaporated before you paint. Use decent panel wipe.
    That said you are going a great job. 👍🏻

    Spotted this ep was up just after I’d hit the hay and had to watch! 75+ hours of painting!? I don’t know how you keep the will. I spent this week getting old petrol garden tools up and running, but they don’t feel like adequate success next to this endeavour. I hope you get a commission from the BBC in the future out of this! Thanks, look forward to the next instalment.

    Make sure you have a water separator in-line . If air line has ever had oil run through it you can’t use it for spray painting . That is all

    @SXI1972 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    When spraying start at one end of the panel and finish at the other end without stopping in the middle, half relates the trigger at the end of each stroke so its only air coming out the gun, 50 % overlap on your strokes back and forth, try and practice keeping the gun at a constant distance from the panel 😉 a wee bit of practice and you'll get there 🙂
