    Thx for posting Jim. It was quite a display seeing them all lined up. Talk about a commitment to the show. I would not want the fuel bill. Very generous guy I would say. So you guys that are in the area. His regular trucks that are "in service" have this same clean look?

    Great article-thx for posting. One quote I remember he made-I think it was in the Newsweek or Time stories the week the Mustang came out in '64- "You have to remember whose name is on the building". Obviously at some point he forgot about that.

    Everytime I see a shot of one of these log trucks I say.."How do they stay upright!.?? These NW state log trucks plus the trucks up in Maine- RD-800's, DM-800's with what I assume are pulp logs that look like the load is about 15ft.high!

    They were nice Jim. But today? These were cummins 350's. Mass 99,000lb permits (104,000lbs) By today's standards.."no way-not enough power". By the way-the "test". I was at Apple store with my new Mac Book. I can never post pix on this site. I managed to post this as it was on my desk top. Pulling from my "Photos" albums? No luck. this new Mac works differently from old. Guess I'll be spending more time with Apple Support.

    guys just testing

    Jim -looks mint! Where and when did you snap that? do I see Londonderry on flap? Early?
  7. Red Horse
    OD- Outstanding-for sure now I know I was asleep given the number of trucks I missed!
  8. Red Horse
    Well top one is a single rear-and bottom one must be too judging by the spring hangar-size of those bodies they must have been hauling "farm goods"? And whenever I see a "spotlight" I say.."retired fire chassis'? although WB looks short for that? In any case they don't look that bad. too bad they are just sitting.

    Ah- wrong city- I'm thinking I'm looking up from New Haven. Hubbard Park is Meriden.
  10. Red Horse
    And that Mt. would be East Rock?
  11. Red Horse
    Cut up? or modified? It still is a "fire truck"-sort of😎? or maybe I'm thinking of the wrong truck.
  12. Red Horse
    Good thought Jim. Whatever, the time should be publicized. I had raised the question a week or so ago and no one ever responded. I like the AM time slot but whatever as long as it is posted ahead of time so everyone can plan.

    Matt- Brooklyn 2020 for sure! Looking VERY good.

    Well on the positive side the beautiful DM-800 single axle dump parked on front row (gray/blue/black) is Merc's most recent job. This glider will be done the right way for sure.

    And this same family had another B there that they did that was equally as nice.
  16. Red Horse
    It is now about 15 miles from my house where it will "morph" into a tandem and go back to work! Merc is a talented guy.
  17. Red Horse
    Agree-and mug shots at Watts tent at noon!

    For sure guy on right is city employee. As for the Autocar "rep", must be from the local dealer-and he doesn't look like he wants to be there😩. He also probably didn't read the memo that says...."Before presenting plaque to recipient, attach appropriate inscription".

    Here is a good one that puts things in perspective IMG_4500 (1).PNG D-Day.pdf
  20. Red Horse
    Well I would agree with that too-but I would bet spokes are not even available as a regular production option today with all the class 7 and 8 builders. Maybe 10 years ago here in NE you could always find in dealer inventory a new Mack speced for a heavy dump application with spokes. Not so today.
  21. Red Horse
    Hah-I didn't say anything about.."what runs true". I'm saying what looks good on an old beast-IMO😎
  22. Red Horse
    FOR SURE!
  23. Red Horse
    BEAUTY-JUST NEEDS SPOKES ON THAT FRONT AXLE!
  24. Red Horse
    Petty cash-compared to the fact they are getting all of our commuter rail car business.
  25. Red Horse
    The number of direct report stats speaks volumes about why some of this is being done. Ford apparently still has to catch on to the fact that flatter org charts are cost effective-assuming of course you have the right people
