I’ve been following the #Edison Motors guys for a while on YouTube. Very interesting to see the company evolve over the last couple of years. From what they’ve said in their videos they never intended to build a conventional mechanical drive truck but have has so many issues getting the hybrids approved for on road use that they have pivoted to production of at least a few mechanical trucks to get some sales under their belts.

Thank you for bringing us along on your build @JoeH. I enjoyed your previous MR project. 😎

Any insight on this one @Firemack?

Hi @Vladislav, Stumbled back into this thread today. What’s the status of this project? Do you have another thread about the complete build? Dave

Beautiful R model @convoyduel! What's her history? Has a fire service air to her... Definitely going to need to see some more photos!

Appears that @m16ty has a YouTube video about his RD! I thought the truck looked familiar in the video preview…. A little something to enjoy over a Saturday morning cup of coffee. 😎

Gerharts is one of my favorite shows because they let you walk around the yard and see everything @Brocky! I was having too much fun chatting this year and didn’t spend much time wandering the yard so no new photos of the construction fleet. They host an event the first Saturday in May that they call “Digging Days” - or something along those lines. They typically have the big Northwest shovel and one of the Bucyrus draglines running along with a Euclid rock truck and a few dozers. Great fun!

I beat you home @mattb73lt, but you beat me at posting! 😎 It was great talking with today. Lots of BMT members around. Chatted with yourself, @Firemack and the Mack brothers. Saw @farmer52’s “Roll Hauler” and @yarnall’s F model. Sam from Scrappy Industries @Superliner92 was there with his Ford. I’m sure there were others that I don’t know or recognize their trucks. A beautiful day and great conversations with old and new friends. Doesn’t get much better than that!

Saw a neat grease removal trick discussed on a Boston Trucker video. The guy recommended dabbing hand cleaner onto greasy parts with a paint brush. He said to let it soak for while and then hose it off with a garden hose - no pressure washer required. Claimed it worked very well with minimal splatter compared to a high-pressure system. As he is a "well seasoned" gentlemen I'd have no reason not to believe him. Might try it on my next tractor project... Enjoying your adventures in restoration @mowerman. Thank you for keeping your thread going!

Great collection @Latrobe Construction B-61! Were you at the show in Brownsville? Seems as if I saw a few B models being put through their paces in a few videos.

Thanks for the update @John Irwin. Do you have access to the truck to get some photos? We love photos around here… 😎

A few of the photos that I captured before the downpours. My daughter is an EMT/FF so I tried to capture a few that she would appreciate too. 😎
