For more than a year now, I’ve been thinking about building a new recovery truck. I’ve built several to this scale in the past, but they were always American. This time around I decided to build a European one.
It is a Scania R500 (built in Sweden) operated by the company Johan van der Zand (aka. Joh v/d Zand) based in the Netherlands. The company recovers stranded vehicles all over Europe and far into the former Soviet Union.
Part of the reason why it took me so long to finally get gong was because I wanted Power Functions remote control for some of its functions and I simply didn’t have the components until recently.
