I've no evidence, but is this by any chance a Lohéac? I seem to remember reading in a ‘Truck’ magazine, years ago, about this haulier who designed his own trucks for hauling oil from Le Havre to Paris, and this seems to have some of the characteristics. |

Close, but not exactly a Lohéac:![[Image: tonton1600x8006e1c4e0yr5.558.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/0is120/tonton1600x8006e1c4e0yr5.558.jpg) It somehow looks familiar, but I cannot name it. Possibly the base of a mobile crane which could explain it sitting in a shipyard. |

Alexander, you are right,it's not a Lohéac. Lohéac was first based on american truck chassis surplus from WWII . Power engine was Daf and Berliet/Renault and cab is made of fiberglass. The weight of these trucks was the lighter was for hauling fuel for cars in service station.The last version were based on Renault G series with the engine and the cab was a fiber cabover. I think it's a cran chassis, named Richier, I have one in my collection...scale 1/43 |

A very good hint, Philippe! I found two images of a Richier RC60 model, which comes close. ![[Image: 353bef2a8frg2.3710.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/0is181/353bef2a8frg2.3710.jpg) ![[Image: 2262bef3b09xb9.8189.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/0is165/2262bef3b09xb9.8189.jpg) So far I couldn't find a perfect match, but I think we are on the right track. |

Ah, oui… Un Richier, peut-être ? They'll probably know. I copy and paste to them. |

can you ask about this ?? it's a bucket wheel excavator from France /vehicle_660469.html and this truck /vehicle_23838.html and this crane was filmed in SENEGAL, not Mozambique , so FRENCH colony /vehicle.php?id=428801#Comment1563117 -- Last edit: 2014-04-06 21:32:12 |

I confirm: Sénégal was a French colony (and probably the oldest, as far as I remember). For the rest, impatient Mike, I'll make it, in time. I don't want to annoy people there, who are maybe not as geek as we are here. Furthermore, I still have some unanswered questions at photostp.free.fr or photosdecamions or avant-train-latil. (And I have no secretary.) |
