Any links to the British buses on line?

No idea, I can recall the articles which ran at about the same time as
the articles about trains that could scoop water from a trough in the
middle of the railway track to re-fill without having to stop.

if I can find them, I have some photos of steam locomotives doing the water
scoop thing. My father took these pictures right after WWII. He was also a
train buff. These are all shot on large-format Kodachrome film and those are
gorgeous.

I'm still amazed at the innovations in these early engineers came up with.in
one photo, the locomotive must've been doing 30 miles an hour, and water shot
out the sides at least 50 feet in the air. I bet that was something to see in
person.
