Hi all,
First thread on scrapers forum. Second thread on board. There is a little about me on the dozer forum. A query about the British built Blaw Knox Goliath scraper. I think they were manufactured in the early to mid 1950's and proved to be quite unpopular. I have only seen a couple of photos of one at work and it was in Europe with a company called P.C Zanen who may have been Dutch. Does anyone know anything about them as regards numbers built and how they performed. Photos would be great. Also the Russian manufactured MoAZ 546 or the earlier model MA3. I have seen quite a few images of them at work in the Soviet Union and also on U-tube. They appear to be rather crude and of typical Russian construction. The photos I have show them to be either Olive Green or a light blue in colour and someone said it signified the factory where they were produced. Were they exported at all? I have never heard of much Soviet Equipment being used elsewhere apart from a few dozers in England and maybe some dump trucks here in Aussie bought in for a mining project up North Queensland. Would like to know more and again, photos would be great. As soon as I can I will post some photos of the scrapers I have seen around the country.
Best regards, Dozeron.
