The Stockholm Transport Museum Museum is Stockholm County’s public transport museum. Here we offer visitors an insight into the history of local public transport in an interesting and stimulating way. We have some 60 vehicles at the museum, each one with something particular to tell us about travelling in Stockholm during different epochs. We can also trace Stockholm’s growth into a modern cosmopolitan city by observing the development of its public transport. Furthermore, we have a large photograph collection, with some 400,000 photographs, from the end of the 19th century to modern times.

    Wonder what you need them for.

    I was thinking the same thing. is it a firetruck of some kind or perhaps a moving van?
  • Toru Okada said:
    It has "Montagewagen Nr 3" written on it. Hints to a vehicle used for mobile repairs or something like it.
  • BodhiOnTheBrain said:
    German ingenuity. My vote goes for repair services. What they would repair is still the question though...

    Looks like a Junkers Ju52 'Auntie Ju'. Seaplanes and Flying Boats are fascinating machines, I'd love to have seen this back in the day, wonderful!

    Very different from the Ford Trimotor, which was a high wing.

    The Kingsway subway closed when trams were withdrawn from London in 1952. The southern end became a one way underpass for car traffic: the northern end is still in existence but is disused.

    (Dons anorak) "A 33 was the Goons' Last Tram from Clapham."

    The northern end of the Kingsway Subway is used as an emergency control room and was last used during the London 2012 Olympics.
