Popular Post Vladislav Posted November 6, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted November 6, 2013 Hi folks!I was not active for some last weeks due to a lot of to do and a holiday trip around Europe.The end point was The Netherlands where I kept a set of gears for the gearbox along my current Mack project.By the way I was in Sweden and resolved to visit Scania factory museum that located not far from Stokholm.I found it by the road signs and came in. The girl on the reception desk told me "We sorrily have no trucks in the moment due to a special event we need an empty space for. So we removed them into the garage. But if you want you may go and look the rest".Not a pleasurant surprize but we came (with my son) and found out some interesting stuff. They didn't get some the oldest vehicles out and kept in place a line of engines and some other stuff.There was one more hall in the buliding with the couple rail road wagons in it built by Scania in early years.The subject that really took my attention was, to my big surprize, the figure of the golden bulldog.I read the plate and learned that it was a gift to Scania form Mack trucks with a kind words for their good common work.Vlad. 5 Quote Никогда не бывает слишком много грузовиков! leversole 11.2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yarnall Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 I'll have to stop there when I visit the mother-in-law in Stockholm. This Mack has a Scania in it. I'm sure someone will know the model number.

kscarbel Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 The Scania museum is one of the most impressive of its kind in the world.Scania (then known as Scania-Vabis) received the bulldog award from Mack Trucks in commemoration of Scania’s 75 anniversary, in appreciation of the high quality of the Scania D8 (normally aspirated) and DS8 (turbocharged) engines that Scania was supplying to Mack, and in respect to the work being carried out together by the two companies towards the joint production of V-8 engines (The fruits of that cooperation of which were seen three years later in 1969, in the form of the ENDT865 and DS14 V-8s). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vladislav Posted November 11, 2013 Author Share Posted November 11, 2013 It would be good to stay for some time in that neck of the woods on my mind.Just a worry to be shooted up with OD's camera and showed up on here in some unlikely moment...
