Anyone recognise the Scania ■■ The bulk tanker looks like its on a strange angle ■■4
Turners (Soham) Ltd. contract Scania. IIRC it was one of a batch of Scania’s that were the first Scanias on the British Sugar Contract, and again IIRC they were snapped up by Turners as a cancelled order, (which by the way happened again last week, we bought some Scanias cancelled by another haulier). The trailer behind the Scania was one of a few that were built that way, nicknamed space rockets, and they were a pile of rubbish. They were built that way at the behest of British Sugar and they were on small twin wheels, that with giving a low chassis height resulted in limited brake cooling. Tyre problems and brake problems happened every week. The drivers hated those tanks.
