Any info on that “heavy” one perchance Robert? Looks like the last two digits on the reg. are 94…?

Cheers, Patrick

Always thought that those Eurotrotters looked a bit odd compared to the Globetrotters…

Didn’t those cabs had a bunk behind the chairs as well, instead of a bunk on the first storie…?

Cheers, Patrick

I think they had both, 1 behind the seats and 1 up top

Cheers for posting it anyway mate, with or without info, it’s still “eye candy” to me :wink:

Came across this one last week at the Antwerp docks…

Probably, and unfortunately, awaiting a ferry for West Africa…

A selection of purposeful looking wagons

I would say…most definitely :wink:
It’s quite remarkable to see what they ship out towards Africa, from nearly new to absolute scrap…the latter being the most common…

Stumbled upon these two a wee while ago as well…

Cheers, Patrick

About that unit in the first pic, looks a bit like that hairpin bend in Monaco, doesn’t it…? Mind you, haven’t been there myself, only saw it on the telly whilst watching the F1 grand prix…

Aye, bet ya that would be a bugger trying to get that round there with all those cars…
That wagon seem to have grown an extra axle in that third pic…? :unamused:

Did had some…er…similar situation last night… was on me way towards Colmar, and just took a exit to call it a day, most of the time there’s a zone industrial nearby or even some place where you can park your wagon, not here though, road just kept going on straight forward and not a roundabout to be found…where are those bloody things when you need one eh!
Alas, kept following the road and that lead me into a village called Andlau… very nice and all, but surely not HGV friendly… managed to get through though and parked up in the forest after seeing all sorts of wildlife :open_mouth:
Departed early this morning to avoid traffic and went up to Le Howald and fortunately back to Barr into “civilisation” and back to the A35…
You can imagine the look on my face when much to my surprise I discovered a place where I could park up, completely missed that the night before in the dark… :blush:

What a Beast!

Cheers mate, thank you very much indeed sir :wink:

Met some of those lads from that firm shown on the last pic, apparently they always go home for the weekend, doesn’t matter where they are, they just pack things up at 2pm on a Friday and return back to base… now that’s a guv with heart for his crew…

Cheers, Patrick
