@@billythebintruckdriver3952 it's a bonus, when you have a job you enjoy. I like buses and driving aswell. Like any job, it has its downs and ups. More than its fair share of its downs unfortunately. But because I have a passion to learn about the technical side of buses, and driving them, (when stress levels are at its lower end, on rare !occasions, ) i like driving. Let's just say stress levels are down ,only on rare occasions, are stress levels on the lower side!. But I've stuck at it for over 15 years, and I have no intentions of leaving., despite the fact that most of the long service drivers have left ,because they've had more than enough!.

Good video, I enjoyed it. I found it interesting. I'm interested in big vehicles etc. I am a bus spotter( I also drive city buses for a living). I like trucks, 8 wheeler tippers, skip tippers like yours. I go to truckfest when I can. I don't drive trucks but I like them. I'm building a scaled lego 8 wheeler skip truck model at moment. My lego models also have a weight scale aswell. (117 grams = 1 metric tonne or 1000kg). ( the dimensions are 1:30)( 1cm = 1 foot) How heavy is your truck empty with an empty skip on it aswell ?. I know the gross is 32 tonnes, but the unladen weight?. I build various trucks, buses ,cars, coaches out of lego, and I synchronise the weights.

Thanks for the comment, I'm ashamed to say it but I'm not actually sure of the trucks unladen weight, I know that's bad lol, I only really look at the gross weights tbh.I would imagine it's similar to an unladen bin lorry (26T) they weigh about 15 Tonne when empty. I will definitely check the plate next time I'm on it or I will ask the driver who is normally on it. Your model sounds cool👍. Good to hear your a bus driver,I almost became one myself a couple of years ago when I was thinking about a change of career.
