Kevin Tsang recently sent me two precious photos of Volvo Olympian 11m (shown at the top). Kevin made his photos of this type of buses an old look. My collection of the same model bus can be seen at the bottom.
Kevin said, "Volvo Olympian 11m are the very first batch of Volvo buses purchased by KMB and are characterized by their powerful Cummins engine with 3+2 seating arrangement. 22 Jan 2013 was their last day and it was unexpected that one of them (GG9879) operated on route 101 instead of short distance routes. A lot of bus enthusiasts including I went to witness its last moments. FYI, there are still a few buses having the same appearance as these buses that have not retired yet, but retiring soon. Some of them belong to the Shatin Depot with their reg number GL2220, GL7586, GL8078, GL8202. They frequently appear on route 85B."
Kevin owns quite a number of bus models at home, but I have just a few, simply because they are too expensive to me.
