Is that an early mobile phone on the back of the trailer?

Some older wagons in the Debrecen area in Hungary, still earning their keep.

Good question Buzzer, have you had word from DIG yet @spardo ?

[spardo]

Yes, whether he will be back or not I couldn’t say and can’t say more at the moment publicly. I think you have my email addresse so I can explain more in private.

15.5 mtrs now thats a long trailer, wonder how it goes round corners.

[spardo]

Is the rear axle a self steer? Also, fair play to the driver, he made very sure that back stack wasn’t going to fall off, I have never see such a long crossover.

[franglais]

Apparently some are self-steer, and some are positive or active steer. Looking forward to the end of the longer semi-trailer trial
YT from 13yrs ago of an active steer set-up.

Th reversing around the corner is very impressive.
It still needs a skillful driver of course but it shows what is possible. I would be good at demonstrating how technology fails to replace good driving basics.
