EddieB Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 Well, it's nearly Spring again and they're bringing again - and quite surprised to see in the form of a large artic with very impressive artwork on the trailer sides making local deliveries this afternoon. A little Googling found a number of images - and it appears that one well-known diesel locomotive enthusiast is already noted as a fan of these vehicles. Being in the car and with the truck heading off away from us, there wasn't opportunity to get a decent picture - but it was one of those "wow" moments for all of us. Here's a photo of the truck we saw: https://www.instagram.com/p/CcsTAs2MR5O/?igshid=MDJmNzVkMjY%3D&epik=dj0yJnU9UUZqLS10UWpGV2dZaTNGd1poOS1tamVHM19ySU5sc28mcD0wJm49NF8xTEFzem5ack0tNThFeU84UklfUSZ0PUFBQUFBR1g3Q3ZB (The picture doesn't really do it justice!) Here's another example, perhaps a little more orientated to this site (Flickr link): Possibly a Japanese prototype? Finally, a more familiar locomotive type: https://www.brianmicklethwaitsnewblog.com/2021/04/07/dutch-quality-flowers-lorry-with-locomotive/ 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
whart57 Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 I'm guessing that the ship on the pic you linked to is the SS Nieuw Amsterdam, the flagship of the Holland-America line and the premier vessel sailing between Rotterdam and New York - well actually New Jersey. The loco I am guessing is a generic American one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
EddieB Posted March 20 Author Share Posted March 20 I'd say that the loco is a Japanese JNR D51 2-8-2 (a Mikado, appropriately enough). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't there a large scale "partwork" kit for one of those a few years back? Found it.

doctor quinn Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 I've seen the ship one delivering to our local flower shop, the picture appears to be the SS Rotterdam which is currently preserved in Rotterdam (appropriately) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
EddieB Posted March 21 Author Share Posted March 21 Another one - which looks to be a South African GMAM Garratt - prototype and available as a scale model: https://www.miniatuurshop.com/en/tekno-scania-next-gen-s530-v8-highline-w-147153207.html#product-images2-6 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
