What a great video Aaron. Odd setup for the A-box shifter. The Pacific shifters were the same height.

It's interesting how they placed the hitch for the second trailer. Making the tongue long allows the the second trailer to follow better but they have it connected just behind the axles of the first trailer.

Saw that Scania tried 'turbocompound' some years ago, what's that?? Or, is it just a fancy name for something else?
