During the height of the flooding, the army were called out to provide additional crews to construct, maintain, and guard the flood barriers. A number of them deployed in these Tatra 6X6 trucks, which are a relatively recent addition to their inventory and which sometimes appear at car shows.

In April, Cercany's upgrade project continued apace. This Praga mobile crane has been there for a few months, although I don't know what it's being used for. It's interesting to me just because of its advanced age.

And....here was the East German army insignia on one of the trucks.

Here are some of the former East German army trucks being used in the film.

Apparently, these people were filming some sort of movie about resistance to the Communist regime in East Germany, although I never found out which movie it was or anything like that.

Here's another one.....with a light leak. Therefore, that makes it artistic. :-) :-) :-)

Here's a better shot of the Praga, without any really noticable light leaks! :-)

DPP have a fleet of these 60-some-odd-year-old Praga trucks for trackwork, which only started getting replaced by modern Mercedes equivalents in the past few months. They mostly carry tools, and in addition most (maybe all, I don't know) of them have a very large and I assume powerful arc welder on board, as do the new Mercedes. These might be, in fact, some of the oldest trucks used by any transit authority in the developed world. Can anybody think of anything older?

Well....what else would you call them? I don't know if I've ever seen hippy construction workers anywhere.....but Prague, or at the very least, if they were hippies, they didn't take it this far. :-) "At least, well, at least, at least elsewhere they stay undercover....I mean.....they could be a bad influence on...." :-) :-) :-) :-)
