19-3825 Aircorp Bushmaster B-2 c/n 89-001. An Australian entry into the manufacture of light aircraft, the prototype Bushmaster VH-BOI flew for the first time in Queensland on 28 October 1989. Designed as a light aerobatic and touring aircraft to US FAR-23 Regulations for service with aero clubs and training organisations, it could also be used as a private touring aircraft.

Fitted with a tailwheel type undercarriage, construction was of conventional welded steel tube with fabric covering aft of the cabin, and an all-metal wing. Designed by Mr C W Whitney, the prototype was fitted with a 67 kw (90 hp) Norton Aerotor rotary engine but there was some delay in certification of this engine, and, following the first flight, it was fitted with the Lycoming O-235 engine. The prototype VH-BOI did not have flaps but production aircraft were planned to have three-stage flaps, all-metal skin in place of the fabric, and 53.3 cm (21 in) greater length.

A number of variants were proposed including: the two-seat Model B-2-16; the two-plus-two Model B-2-16A; and a two-seat in tandem model B-3-16 aimed at property support. Four-seat variants known as the model B-4-16 were to have two-plus-two seating; the model B-4-60 with four-seats and a 119 kw (160 hp) Lycoming engine; and the model B-4-80 with a 134 kw (180 hp) Lycoming engine. Production was planned to take place in a facility built at Caboolture airport in Queensland.

A Certificate of Airworthiness was issued in late 1990, and at that time it was announced two engines would be available for the two-seat production aircraft, the 87 kw (116 hp) Lycoming and the 119 kw (160 hp) Lycoming 0-320. Design limitations were +4.4G and -2.2G. Fuel capacity was 100 litres (22 Imp gals.).

In 1992 the Company had an injection of funds and announced the B-4-80 utility aircraft, this being the Bushmaster re-designed to take a 134 kw (180 hp) Lycoming O-360-A4M engine. Further design changes were made, particularly to the engine cowling and the undercarriage, these being aimed at meeting FAR-23 airworthiness standards. Construction of a second prototype was commenced but is not known to have been completed and is believed to have been placed in storage.

Normal take-off weight of the B-4-80 was expected to be 1,000 kg (2,204 lb) and cruising speed at 3,048 m (10,000 ft) was expected to be 280 km/h (174 mph) at 75% power. However, by mid-2007 only the prototype VH-BOI had been completed, and this was eventually sold and re-registered under AUF/RAA Regulations as 19-3825 on the 12 November 2002, being based in Queensland. No further examples are known to have been completed.

Bei Vierkirchen im Landkreis Dachau gelang diese Aufnahme eines artreinen flachen Containerzuges. Die durchgehend rote Färbung der Container bot einen schönen Kontrast zur grünen Frühlingslandschaft. Zuglok war 193 825-7 "Diana" im Auftrag von retrack / VTG.

This shot of a pure flat container train was taken near Vierkirchen in the district of Dachau. The continuous red coloring of the containers offered a nice contrast to the green spring landscape. The train was hauled by 193 825-7 "Diana" on behalf of retrack / VTG.

193825, VTG Vectron at Duisburg, 25 February 2022,

Gleich dreimal war dieser Kesselzug mit Vectrons von VTG unterwegs. 193 817 hat den Zug auf dem Weg Richtung Passau angeführt, als er bei Haag an der bekannten Brücke vorbei kam.

Ende Februar steht die Sonne noch nicht hoch und die Schatten werden am Nachmittag schnell wieder lang. Gerade noch rechtzeitig passierte am 28. Februar 2021 die 193 825 mit einem Kesselwagenzug aus Ungarn die Fotostelle bei Dollnstein. Kurz nach dem Aufnahmezeitpunkt lag der Gleisbereich bereits im Dunkeln. Die von Retrack erbrachte Zugleistung wurde an diesem Tage aufgrund von Baurabeiten zwischen Regensburg und Nürnberg über das Altmühltal umgeleitet.

At the end of February, the sun is not yet high and the shadows quickly become long again in the afternoon. Just in time, 193 825 passed the photo site near Dollnstein with a tank wagon train from Hungary on 28 February 2021. Shortly after the photo was taken, the track area was already in darkness. The train service provided by Retrack was diverted via the Altmühltal on this day due to construction work between Regensburg and Nuremberg.

Am 27. Februar 2021 war die 193 825 von Retrack vor dem Kesselwagenzug DGS 69615 von Köln Eifeltor nach Passau Gbf im Einsatz. Mit dieser Verbindung wird Anilin von Antwerpen nach Ungarn transportiert. Bei Edlhausen gelang ein Photo der Leistung.

On 27 February 2021, Retrack's 193 825 was in service in front of tank wagon train DGS 69615 from Cologne Eifeltor to Passau Gbf. This connection transports aniline from Antwerp to Hungary. A photo of the service was taken near Edlhausen.

...Einen vielversprechender Tag war einmal mehr der 28.02.2021, die Strecke Nürnberg-Regensburg war Baustellenbedingt total gesperrt und so musste der gesamte Verkehr von und nach Passau über das Donautal nach Ingolstadt und weiter über das Altmühltal nach Treuchtlingen umgeleitet werden. Einer dieser Umleiter wurde bespannt von 193 825, eine von Vier 193ern welche vergangenes Jahr eine neue Vollwerbung erhalten hatten. Dabei werben die Loks nun für das Motto "Connecting Worlds with mobile Infrastructure". Am Dollnsteiner Portal des Esslingerberg-Tunnel welches mit 633 Metern das längere der beiden Tunnel auf der Altmühltal strecke darstellt konnte der Chemie-Kesselzug von mehreren Fotografen in noch Recht Kahl aussehender, aber beeindruckender, Landschaft festgehalten werden.

Das Unternehmen VTG Retrack setzt Vectron Maschinen des Vermieters Railpool ein. Kürzlich haben einige Loks eine in meinen Augen sehr gefällige und elegante Folierung in weiß und metallic-blau erhalten. Auch bei diesem Unternehmen weist man auf die verbindende Wirkung der erbrachten Dienstleistungen hin. Am 04. Oktober 2020 konnte ich die entsprechend gestaltete 193 825 vor dem an Sonntagen verkehrenden DGS 41936 von Wels Vbf CCT nach Neuss Gbf zwischen Wernstein und Passau fotografieren. Der Zug war glücklicherweise im herbstlichen Licht- und Schattenspiel gut ausgeleuchtet.

The company VTG Retrack uses Vectron machines from the leasing company Railpool. Recently, some locomotives have received what I consider to be a very pleasing and elegant livery in white and metallic blue. This company also points out the unifying effect of the services provided. On 04 October 2020, I was able to photograph the appropriately styled 193 825 in front of intermodal train DGS 41936 from Wels Vbf CCT to Neuss Gbf between Wernstein and Passau. The train was fortunately well illuminated in the autumnal play of light and shadow.

Himmelstadt 11.10.2019.

As the evening light begins to steal over Salzburg, Railpool/VTG (Retrack) Vectron no. 193 825 "Monika" crosses the Salzach with FoxRail train 41397 Freilassing to Curtici. The train had worked DGS 43985 from Wanne-Eickel to Freilassing earlier in the day.
