One of two that Calgary had in service. One of them ended up on its side during a response to a fire alarm call and the other was disposed of a few years ago.
Great thread and pics--I never knew about SCOT rigs--very interesting, and they are certainly not the worst looking rigs I've seen. They've got character.
Very interesting thread.Here are the 8 Scot trucks, that I photographed during my Canada-trips. Probably all of these are out of service today.
