Mr. Ron Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 Hello, I discovered this forum while browsing for antique Mack truck information. I was born and raised in New York City in 1934. I can still see the AC Bulldog trucks that the Railway Express Agency used rolling down the cobblestone streets on solid rubber tires; their chain drive making that distinctive sound. Although I am not a Mack truck owner, I do like to build models. I have been a railroad modeler for a long time (70+ years), but now I want to try my hand at building a Mack of my past memories. I will be browsing through these forums looking for information to aid me in building a scale model. Thank you for the opportunity to join your community. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
41chevy Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 Welcome to the group! A lot of members (me included) are Truck model builders. Up to a few months ago we were on the Eastern End of Long Island, a short hop to look over my AC's for info, unfortunately they are all with us in Virginia. Here is a link to some of my AC information, use anything you need and feel free to ask for any info you may want.

BillyT Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 Mr Ron,when I was a kid in the early 50s there were a couple of chain drive Macks hauling steel past my house in McMurray pa I remember that ringing sound! 41,what was the last mack to use chain drive? They definitely weren't ACs were newer than that. Might have been Sterlings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake86 Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 I think the AB's were the first with a driveshaft Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
