Swish don't let them two upset you, I enjoyed them especially the caravan one and the last one, the others were good but you would have to watch low bridges ;) ;)

I particularly like the huge bullbar to inflict damage - and the vice mounted on the bullbar to fix damage.
It is overall a serious 4 wheel drive bus. [ch128064]

Is the Victory Liner articulated?
It has a drive axle as the 2nd axle but I can't see where the cab would move above the clear cut horizontal joint?

Built out of plywood during WW II in Santa Fe’s Wichita, KS., shops to conserve valuable war materiel, the Victory Liner was used to transport civilian employees to military arms factories during the war. It had a passenger capacity of 117

What happens when the steer axle goes up an incline?

Does the front of the PM hit the front of the trailer?

The driver would do a lot of peering out the side windows.

Definitely different.

There are a number of reasons why this never became popular...

The WAGR had three very simular buses to these known as Fowler/Dyson 'Landliners' They were powered by two Ford V8 motors. One under the front bogie powering the rear wheels of the bogie and the other located at the rear of the trailer, driving the rear wheels.

The three buses were plagued with mechanical problems and were very tricky to drive. They didn't last long and were converted to semi trailers with Foden prime movers.
