Kritika Why Kritika Got my first TE1 in the early 70s as most kids did, I left it at my mums when I went to work overseas in the big bad world. Can you believe it, when I got home - after 25 yrs in Africa and Middle East and Europe, she had thrown my beloved TE1 away - I was gutted! So on the old Bay of E for a replacement and I got hooked, what can I say (I hope there are pills or ointment or something to help this?) Nice to be living back in the civilised world again......Why Kritika, well it’s a Greek word I picked up working there. tmuir Hi Kritika, nice to see you here. Kritika By the way does anyone have a few pictures of a Mamod Millennium bus so I can see one up close? SillyBilly Welcome Kritika, A real shame that your mum threw out your TE1. Sandman Welcome Kritika. I'm sure you'll enjoy it here. tmuir Kritika wrote: By the way does anyone have a few pictures of a Mamod Millennium bus so I can see one up close?

Great story, shame about the TE1 but they are available on ebay Not sure anyone has the Millenium bus yet..... James Ayup mate Welcome to the forums like, you know! Graham-Jilly welcome to the forums mate you will enjoy it here johnreid Welcome aboard. IndianaRog Hi Kritika, Good to have you with us. Although eBay can bring out the best and worst...it at least offers us all a shot at replacing a key engine like your TE1...then of course adding 10 more or 110 more as the case may be. cheers, Roger Kritika Thanks Guys I have already replaced the TE1 with a 1968 TE1 and have been very lucky to get a mint 1961 SR1 as well complete with one-piece brass burner & plate metal scuttle (riveted together) James Ooo nice! Does it have the decal under the firebox? Manxman Well another hello. I don't think any of us has the bus you are after. Any special reason you want that one? As Tony (tmuir) has already said I've got a couple of these and the only difference between any of the buses is the model colour. Cranko Big Welcome from New Zealand, I am sure you will enjoy it here Mister Occlusion G'day You told us the why behind the name, but not the what (it means). curious minds want to know!

Cheers Chris See you there Kritika For your info Mister Occlusion - KRITIKA is the place I lived on the Island of Rhodes, I just like the sound of it. It means place of the Kretes, as during the war with Greece & Turkey all Kretians (who were mostly of turkish origin then) were made to live in this place KRITIKA which looked towards the coast of Turkey. A bad view for the Greeks of the island at that time but good news for the Krete/Turks (Its prime beach front real estate these days with lovley views of the sea) Mister Occlusion Ta for that.
