There are not only trains here, we found an old bus in one of the garage. Looks like them I traveled with in the 1960s. Is it a Volvo or a Scania ? Looking closer to the sign and it says: A Scania Vabis VB 62, built 1953 and it take 38 passengers. It was used until 1959.


A visit to Nynärhamn's Railway Museum, Sweden 2007

Inside the bus, very familiar environment for me.
