Hey Oily
This is not Dutch but French in my opinion.
The reg on the unit is too long for Holland and ends with 75 wich is Paris region
On the train it says SNCF wich stands for the French railroad.

Maybe Michel can explain further, because with the little kangaroo on the door and all dignataries around it, this may have been the start of the kangaroo system in France…

Yes bald agreed but the demo was at Utrecth there’s a screed of info with each image which I cut because when posted with the photo it ballooned the thread page, even posting the text separate still didn’t work.

Hey Oily,
Thanks, that explaines a lot, is there a date mentioned somewhere, as it must be in the early days of the kangourou system ?

My Dutch is very rusty but it roughly translates as: unloading a French lorry with trailer on the premises of the Dutch auction docks at Utrecht (presumably canalside docks then) for a demonstration of the Kangaroo system. Hope that helps. Ro
