    Thanks for the compliment. I’ve been looking last night and this morning for the correct engine paint for this truck. It probably had a Cummins in it which would’ve been yellow at this time frame. I wonder if they powered these with Mack engines. Good to see you how’s the Mack DM800 model truck coming along? I read where you put it back up.

    I bought this 1/25 scale Mack LMSW-M resin kit from AITM about 7 years ago and been working on it off and on.

    That’s cool. I’ll have to post more of mine but I’ll start a different thread on mine so I won’t be hijacking. I just got done building the Walthers Freight Building like yours. Here’s a pic of it with a White Frieghtliner I built many years ago I hand painted the red stripe on it. It’s on a Switching layout I’m building in the house.

    Yes it’s been very cold here. I have a small farm so I’m out in it every morning and evening I’ve got plenty to keep me busy including my hobbies.

    Like to see that. I got a few Custom First Gear I need to finish too. Yeah I got a Dump Trucking job right here in my town 3 years ago I drive a 2003 Peterbilt 330 single axle and I like it off in the winter drive in the spring summer

    Bob I didn’t mine at all no harm. Like you the last years I drove I hated to even go in to work. I worked the city the last 5 years of my career I like it and the cars I didn’t mind it was the other Truckers that couldn’t drive especially in a big city. My last truck was a Mack CHU613 with a Mack m drive 12 speed automatic. If it was below 20° the transmission wouldn’t shift right not just mine every one’s. I never thought I would say this so many times but I don’t miss Trucking after 34 years of driving and being a 4 generation trucker.

    Yes I would have never semi retired I had enough of the ELs and these Truck drivers on the highways these days. No more old School Driver’s like I was out there.

    That’s a sweet looking steel dash and green on top of it. I drove a 1968 steel dash for about a year pulling a end dump hauling out of the Lead Mines
  24. MackSTL68
    Yep your pics look much better over here.
