I am told some are going back to Ashington to be run in properly. Might have been a good idea in the first place but hey what do we know, still they seem to have done alright on the 81....
Well put it this way, what they should is this:
- Despite the engine on the DB300 being the same as the E400 and the DB300 not being the most ideal bus, the lighter bodywork will make up for the small engine. I've travelled on the DB300 before and despite it not being the best bus, the ISBe engine is better in the DB300 due to the lower bodyweight and it's not as reliant on the turbochargers compared to the E400. Here's my idea to swap 7501 to 04 and 7512 and 13 with six Quorum DB300's.
