At 1970, tata bus were arrived to Indonesia which imported by Jakarta motors. at 1978, this bus were used as massal transportation in Bandung, West Java. "DAMRI" company become the operator of this bus.
At that time, tata selled the bus to indonesia in 2 types, LP1210 Eand LP1210 SE. This bus have 9.5 metres in length, 2.4 metres in wide, and 2.9 metres in high. This bus is capable to transport 30-40 passangers.
Until now, the DAMRI company are still in operational but with the new bus, not TATA bus. The number of Tata bus which still persist are unidentified.
This bus s operated between year 1968-1982 and become the first double decker bus n Jakarta. This type of leyland bus is PD3-11. The characteristic or specificarion of this bus were 9 metres in length, 2.5 metres for wide, and 14 ton for rhe weight. This bus laways serve for the route Blok M-Salemba-Pasar Senen from 1968-1982 which operated by PPD (Perusahaan pengangkutan jakarta) or Jakarta Transportation Company.
Not only Leyland, the double decker bus with volvo engine has been operated in jakarta at the same time with the Leyland bus operation.
But now, the bus condition are not in good condition. Leak, porous of the body can be seen. No one of Goverment of official do to save this bus or restorated it.
Poor condition...
Poor condition of this mallet locomotive. Many leaks at the pipe covered, and full of rust/porous around the locomotive body, and don't get notice from Museum keeper and the stakeholder of Transportation minister.
The red circle mean the leak condition of the boiler pipe, in the pipe covered. This condition must be maintenance soon, if not..., for the future, we only see the Rust and porous of this Locomotive.
In the other side, this locomotive has strong historical of Train Journey in this Country, Indonesia. But, now must rest in the Museum, and abandoned by Museum.
Dampfgruppe Zürich (DGZ) bought this from the shunting yard at Killwangen-Spreitenbach. You might notice the additional points for attaching something and the round turning window. The reason was that you could mount a snow plow to this unit to clean station areas from snow. I was not sure, if they also got a snow plow or not.
I am afraid with the condition when visit there. That locomotive was placed in outside without canopy, and it is resistance to get rust/porous.
In the past, this locomotive was operated by Staatsspoorwegen company for narrow gauge railway (600mm).

The condition of this locomotive were still good than the steam Locomotive in beside it. Some of controller part still functioned, and need some repair to operated again. But, again and again, this locomotive didn't got covered by canopy or roof. This locomotive was prone to rust and porous.
Some story of this locomotive when i came to there (Indonesia miniature land), Jakarta.

Some of control were still functionable, the glass of cabin could be rotated. The Flexible pipe were full of rust, porous and must be changed with the new part.
