Brocky

In 2019 we made a similar loop when we went to the ATHS show in Reno.. A word word of warning.. If you plan on doing the Hoover Dam and generating system think "Airport Security" to get inside the visitor center and generators... Had my pocket knife and was not allowed in!!

WOW!! Great Progress..

Mech, I will have to look for some pictures of Dan's Value Liner.. I saw it at both Lexington KY and Reno..

interesting to see the MB with right hand drive . 

That is an Aussie picture!!

If Dan Thomas(???)  of Medley ORE brings his Aussie Value Line to York PA next year take a good look at it... Mech your explanation goes along with Paul's statement about stability on Aussie road trains..

A new "Old Brochures" thread in the antique section?

DCW,, Probably a topic in the antique section would find more visitors????

Same Here!!!!!!!

It is NOT just the west coast, same down here, Like they forgot how to cook when they crossed the Mason Dixon line!!!!  YES!! A good Italian HOT sausage on a piece of Italian loaf bread...  With onions and peppers!!! But my Georgia raised 2nd wife is till trying to get me to eat Pinto beans and Cornbread...

Mech is right.. Uphill with no weight on the drive axle... Will have to build a place to turn around at the bottom.. Also it WILL Be a lot SAFER pulling out onto the road!!!!

Mech, NO I did not!!! Hope to be there next year..

I have looked at the 5th wheel plate for years and I’m not sure of the purpose of the circle plate, I’ve never seen another one like it.) 

Up here in the States the only one I have seen is on the Valueliner that the Mack man in Oregon imported from Australia.. His is larger and has a ball bearing race in it as well as a locking pin.. I forget the exact reason for it now other than it was used when pulling road trains on dirt/gravel roads.

I have found the best way to get individual pictures is to stake out a place on the parade route and get then as they come by.. In the display area they are usually too close together and a lot of spectators..

Bob, Also keep your eye out for Tom Millard "Olsdpwr" who is the man who started to Brockway sub section of "Other Truck Makes" Both his tractors are red and white immaculate show pieces..

Thats really the only one I know of, I know more were sold here in the late 60's but I dont think it was many 

And I think maybe the 20s pr early 30s some were sold in Australia 

They are a good looking truck

Paul, When we were down in 2015 Archie Baines in Victoria had a just post war Model 88 Chassis, cowl, and front clip in his boneyard..

The blue wrecker on the trailer will definitely be there.. But i doubt if the 761 from Down Under will..

When you get to Cortland give us some updates!! AT least in print if no pictures..

Diamond T tilted some engines in short hood models to get the doghouse under the dash.. Geoff mentioned the White 9000, and Autocar made a snub nosed model also , Not sure about REO??? 

Bob that is the short nose 9500, They also made a long nosed one

So I'm to understand the Brockway show is defiantly worth the trip from NV? it's week-end of 8/12-13/23. I have a commitment  ; will see about changing things (to my benefit ).

It is always the 2nd weekend of August, So put in on next years calendar NOW!!!! They usually have 120 to 140 Brockways, 2012 was the record year with 163.. You can spend most of the day  touring the 4 museums as well as the Italian supper on Friday, followed by fireworks at dusk.. AND The Finger Lakes region of central NY is a very beautiful tourist area with several State Parks. My wife can stand the museums on Friday and then drops me off at the show and goes touring for thrift shops and yard sales on Saturday..

Mech, The Brockway show is next weekend in Cortland / Homer NY
