hmm...K310UD most possibly. hey! the bodywork looks familiar...
K310UD is designed for urban operations, not intercity ones. Also, K310UD should be at least Euro IV-certified. The latest Malaysian double-deckers are only Euro 3.
Bodywork by sksbus, same manufacturer of Aeroline, Airebus and Transtar double-deckers.

MAN bus. Might be a 24.420 HOCL. Cant rmbr. But i saw this bus before. When reversing its beeping sound damn loud one, machiam like a car's horn. It has a 12 speed manual or semi auto gearbox as well. Saw the picture of it somewhere.
Somehow its quite slow on the highway, compared to SDs with an equivalent height. My coach overtooked this bus before.

Then it would be K310EB. However, it would be unwise to fit a DD coach with such a small engine. I've taken a coach that lacks engine power and climbs a genting hill. All other coaches overtooked us, including a Scania K124IB 3 axle DD with 420bhp 12litre engine. The bus i took was an old MAN coach.
Scania Singapore offers coaches with 12 litre engines, mainly Scania K340IB, K380EB and K380EB (6x2).

its brbp 143's only s shift slot and it often gets rare cameos. s shift slots often gets cameo buses for preventive maintenance.
preventive maintenance is where a full day bus swaps with a split / extended / threequarter shift bus and go for checks after doing the non-full day shift.
its gotten VO3x esp Batch 2/3, B10TLs (like 9810 with black ad, 9888), B9TLs, Mark 4s, O405s.
timesheet in the wrong thread la.. 143 route so long still no OT.. poor chap.. -

I'm more inclined to think its a 4th Generation Scania K124IB 6X2 which has been configured such that the centre is a low floor portion instead of a standard intercity floor. Similar examples would be PZ18Z (K124IB 4X2) which Funvee has, whereby the centre is low floor. It makes no sense for Transnasional to buy Euro 4 buses when the law in Malaysia doesn't mandate them to do so.

First thing, you have to remember that the bus is registered in Malaysia. As we have know it, their regulations does not restrict new commercial vehicles to be Euro 4-certified. All their new Scania buses are only Euro 3, including the Genting Transport's K270UB.

To learn how to take good shots, I believe you can't just look at other's up to standards pictures to get a good shot. You need really lots of time to experiment with shots, regardless of being night or day shots which is what I will try to be doing in 9 days time or during the Novermber/December holidays. To learn from one another, I suggest that those with high standard photos list down their ISO setting and shutter speed setting with the pictures so that other can follow and take good shots. For working with sunlight, I have thought of an idea which is to use bring along a compass with you and face the different side of the road at different times of the day. In the morning, make sure the bus faces the East direction where the sunlight comes from. In the afternoon, make sure the bus faces the West direction when the sunlight will start to shine from the West.
Do take note that now is the transition period of sunlight. No matter how it is, you will failed by using a compass. And for ISO and shutter speed settings, you got to experience it yrself. It requires ones understanding of ISO, shutter speed and even aperture value to set a balanced setting. -

Bro..
U r not going for some navigation course. Or u need to find a perfect fengshui spot to take photos ? If not, no need to bring a compass..
im sure that in ur Primary 3 Science, your teacher has taught u something called....SHADOW !!!

It's the end of the morning good sunlight direction...
But the afternoon good sunlight direction is back.
Spoilt shot, it's just a test shot...only if I had a camera with more optical zoom...

to me its somewhat like the new UD/Isuzu rims that come with those 4-axle cement mixers u see nowadays.. UD and Isuzu seems to be offerring the euro standard 10 lug nuts rims instead of the usual japanese 8 lug design. hehe -

Okay... Let me enlighten and answer back your questions 1 by 1...
3. A "junior" member here to shows his knowledge is treated as "showing off", while a "senior" member here that shares the exact same thing is "sharing his experience".
No I do not agree to that...4. A "junior" member here that posts/starts a thread or posting in a certain topic is seen as "kiasu" while a "senior"member here that does it is seen as perfectly alright and okay.
No I do not agree to that too... My KIASU here does not pin point on the whatever-you-guys-called-it-as-junior here, but as a general/overall.5. A "junior" member here that does something wrong such sharing the wrong bus schedule is seen as having committed a grave mistake that is horribly "wrong", while if a "senior" member does it, its seen as perfectly fine or something that can just be looked over upon.
Perhaps some people here may see it this way, but definitely for myself, I believe that everyone do make mistakes, and that usually I do not want to post anything that is negative down here because I believe that they would be able to realise their mistakes (i.e. post wrong stuffs, etc..) somehow down the road.. Some people just need more chances, and we should try to be as forgiving to those people as possible, and at the same time, PM or MSN him/her to make him/her wake up his/her idea..6. oh, how ironical. It's like as if the senior members prowress over the juniors - which will always stay as a junior in their eyes.
Well.. This does not apply to me... I have to admit that..7. If the moderators create it, wouldn't they be Kiasu then? Besides, as a whole forum, it wouldn't matter who creates the threads. If someone is so free as to create a thread for a new month, so be it then.
If you insist on thinking this way... Let you be...8. Why must it be a moderator that does it? A moderator is one who takes care of a forum, not runs the forum. A forum is dead if it just contains moderators - essentially, members run the forums themselves based on self-moderation. Moderators are here to make sure nothing goes wrong and to deal with the occasional troublemakers - it's like a government and its people.
Agree with you..9. It's not like SBS2695H created a thread for the sake of creating one, but he actually posted pictures in his first post. If he did it like in the past months where he just posted without any pictures, then yes, I fully agree with you that, that may be a problem.
We need to stop squabbling about all these. We aren't any better if we look at how we give "second chances" to SBS2695H/TTS/whoever else that the "seniors" deem irritating. Whilst I'm not a senior (as per the current forums context of the word senior) or whatsoever, this is definitely not the way to go still.
I wouldn't comment it much because I am not the type who gives negative treatment to those who needs second chances or more.. But I still agree that there should not be a form of dispute or quarreling here just because people make mistakes..
I refer to the above and all other related posts made in this thread since the start.This junior/senior barrier MUST be abolished because contradictory to the aim of the "seniors" to integrate and unite Singaporean bus enthusiasts through common online sharing platforms etc, this very barrier actually hinders the progress of such an initiative.
Yes, some may retort "What barrier is there in the first place for us to abolish?". It may well be because you are already among the ranks of the "seniors" for quite some time so much so that you have grown accustomed to "educating" the "juniors" to have lost touch on how you yourself felt when you first joined the group, having to bow to whatever rules and regulations that existed back then.
For instance, I clearly recall being strongly against the rule prohibiting photo taking of buses in bus interchanges. "For your own safety", "not allowed by bus operators" and others became the basis for such a rule. IRONICALLY, I still saw "seniors" posting photos of buses they snapped at bus interchanges. "Oh, this was a rare cameo, so it's okay" was the standard reply. And was the "senior" reprimanded by the others? Oh no. They got away scot-free. But when a "junior" does it, woah, five pages of flaming would snowball. So just what basis is there for the "seniors" to have the "right" to take photos in bus interchanges just because the bus is a rare cameo? That it is no longer a bus and hence, is okay to be snapped in the interchange?
So what does this show? To the "junior" who has to abide by every single rule, the "senior" has more power, more control, hence more superior. The divide has already, unknowingly, been created. And it has been expanding since then. And this is just but one of the handful of examples of how such a "junior-senior" divide exists.
Yes, I acknowledge and applaud the teaching, reminding approaches from all parties which would definitely help the "juniors" integrate well into the community. But please, while doing it, spare a thought. Be in their shoes, consider the stage of interest in the hobby they are still in at such an age when the child is still in the process of transforming into an adult. If repeated warnings are ignored, then yes, by all means, teach them the hard way. Delete all their unproductive contributions, ignore them whatever. Let them learn the hard way, eg, get caught by the security personnel themselves for "breach of safety in the bus interchange by photo-taking". To only continue flaming them in public, already knowing they won't absorb whatever you are saying, will only make matters worse, if not stagnant.
So there is clearly no basis for flaming this kiasu SBS2695H this time round for starting this thread since he has the content - and thus the reason - to do so, regardless of time. It is NOT as if there was a rule in the first place clearly indicating who can or cannot start new topics for discussion; which the mods may want to take a look into.
To 997A, does an Oct 08 photo thread CANNOT contain photos of buses taken at any other time? What bull is that?
And SBS2695H, if you are going to go through so much trouble of having to use COMPASSES just to take photos of buses for a few minutes (or maybe hours for your case), then maybe you may find greater interest taking up field camps and navigation sessions as your hobby!
