That’s why we’re quite happy our engine is in the back of the Dragon. You don’t hear high revving sound of a Routemaster often. It’s actually quite nice😬

Got a miniature version of 1429

We’ve taken a long break since July 2024 due to water ingress in 1429’s Cummins engine. A full rebuild was required to bring it back to life. And thanks to our mechanics team we were able to do just that!
2024年夏天幾場大雨令1429引擎積水，令1429久未同大家見面。經過維修團隊多番努力，引擎完成徹底大修，以最佳狀態迎接2025！

Until year 2002, you still had the choice between an ordinary double decker like ours or an air-conditioned one on route 66X. About 1/3 of the journey runs on the highway so it wasn’t too unpleasant (perhaps even enjoyable for some) on a hot & humid summer day here in Hong Kong.

直至2002年中，66X仍然有熱狗巴士服務。
GA1429行66就多，唔知有冇人坐過1429行66X呢？

Welcome to the YEAR OF THE DRAGON 🐉🐲🎊
Fun fact: one complete Lunar Horoscope elapsed since 1429’s withdrawal from the KMB fleet.

1429恭㊗️大家生龍活虎、龍馬精神❗️
上一個龍年仍在九巴行駛的1429，至今已享退休生活十二年了😎

It’s been a while since our last post. After the recent torrential rain and typhoons, we finally get some beautiful autumn weather to take GA1429 for a stretch. Hope you all are doing fine‼️

Sharing the story of Ford “Big Red”, a unique experimental turbine-engined trailer truck from 1964. The truck was acquired by current owner forty years ago. Restoration work followed in the coming years including swapping out the original turbine engine with a smaller version also made by Ford.

At the end of the article, the writer mentioned Big Red is still in near perfect condition after four decades in the shed. As a fellow vehicle preservationist, I have great respect for the owner’s relentless effort for keeping such a unique and complicated piece of motoring history alive. Really makes preserving 1429 like a walk in the park🫡🫡

The 40-year search for an unbelievable piece of history is over. You have questions? We have answers.

Some colonial post boxes with ERII Royal cipher are still in service across Hong Kong.

Her Majesty The Queen will be fondly remembered for her two visits here in 1975 and 1986.

May she rest in peace.
