This is a bit soft focused, the cab was going fast and I wanted to catch a good street shot while people were crossing the street. I didn't have time to change my ISO higher.

It amazes me how I have to have a spot to store my things that don't fit in the living areas of my house. That I have so many things I have to find somewhere off site to keep them. Roxy thinks it's an unnecessary amount of crap.
Scania Astran
A couple of years ago I started building a pair of Scanias LB141 as a replacement of the bonneted ones I built a couple of years before. Both chassis and engine were useful but I decided to build it again from scratch which resulted in a white/blue LBS141.
While I was building a couple I didn’t put this one online yet when I finalised it somewhere in 2016. I wanted to add something special and didn’t took time to take a decent photo shoot in my studio.
Some time before I bought a nice book tilted “The long haul pioneers”. It describes really good stories about long hauls from southern UK to the Middle East and even further. It is an ode to Astran, a British hauler which undertook many routes to those regions from the 60s. They started with British built vehicles and sometimes even without a sleeper cab. Driver’s were en route for weeks! During the late 60s they bought some Scanias which were more powerful and far more comfortable. The book describes the founding of the company, the trucks they ran (also the subcontractors) and interesting stories from its drivers.
When I saw a replica of a LBS141 at the Retro Truckshow of Gaydon in the UK in 2014 I took a lot of detailed pictures and started building my LEGO replica in scale 1:13.
Other than the first 141 I gave this model a more life like look with weathered metal chrome wheels and other details on the engine. The engine was rebuilt and in this case I made a red copy. I guess the real Scania has a sand green one but some crucial elements aren’t available in sand green unfortunately. However, in red it doesn’t look bad either.
The cab has a full interior with double bunks and can be tilted. The doors can be opened just like the front grille. Like many trucks from the late 70s, early 80s the cab is equipped with a roof rack and ladder. Two large size fuel tanks are put to the chassis, as well as two spare wheels behind the cab. These are inevitable on the long trips where many punches had to the repaired.
The trailer only took a couple of weeks to build while it is quite straight forward. However it is a vintage tilt with rope trailer and to add the ropes properly I had to drill holes in about 200 2x2 tiles. The trailer outfit is typically Middle East with wide spread axles and a belly tank in the chassis to carry additional fuel for the truck. These trailers are still used in Africa.
Decals are supplied by Dennis Glaasker who did a great job. We added them together when finished.
Later on I was thinking to add something more to the model. That could only be a couple of camels which I also found on some of the pictures in the book. Well, building animals is not really my steel and it took a while before I finished them. I think they have the right proportions while there aren’t any blueprints :-)
The striking red/yellow livery does look very well with this model. Together with the Volvo F12 in Sties livery I have a nice couple of around 1980.
