Bristol "L" buses with the Hyderabad State Railway.

They seem to have operated 100 of these buses, HYZ 1400 to HYZ 1499. So 1497 must be the penultimate one delivered.

Seem to have been re-registered APZ-xxxx; along with a new livery and reshaped no-glass windows.

Euclid Advertisement, 1955.

"The Damodar is India's largest river". But then again, America was pretty geocentric in the 1950's!

Re: The Classic Commercial Vehicles (Bus, Trucks etc) Thread

Attaching photos of the 200 tons capacity trailer that carried machinery to RCF Mahul plant. It was hauled by two Diamond T tractors in tandem. Special load tests were carried out on the Mahim causeway bridge before the transportation.

APZ 1436 in the second pic is part of a road train. The bus behind it is without an engine and is coupled to the leading bus with a towbar.

Re: The Classic Commercial Vehicles (Bus, Trucks etc) Thread

Recently there was an article in the Indian Express about Afghan Snow cosmetics. In that they have a picture of a delivery van. It is probably a Morris Commercial.
They used have a Mustang green in colour which I used to see on Altamont Road very often in the 1970's.

Cheers harit

Lovely - but are you sure that's India? Or possibly South East Asia?
