  1. Hope you will have a smooth ride Lucky BMT is one place of no matter where you sattle.
  2. Good luck on getting her bark soon!
  3. Once again we must be a proud crowd having the member who cares about that legendary truck! Mike, thank you for sharing the facts. Life looks going its own way and does it fast.
  4. The first two pictures look to me like they originally were black and white and someone made them colorful. No, I don't mean wimmins were photochopped wrong. I'm about trucks!
  5. A modelbuilder overhere made Rubber Duck truck some years ago. He built it in 1:24 using Italery cab. You can see the pictures here http://www.autoinscale.com/?section=article&id=321 I doubt he had any real hood measurments avalible and as I can see now the frame's front is wrong (he made it of an Eastern R-model style).
  6. Haven't heard about the event. The Moscow raceway is in about 70 km from my location. But as you can see on the pics they didn't use the race track. Daimler engine, ZF gearbox.... All that is very good but far from to be called inexpensive stuff. Unfortunately the politics think on how to sell more of expensive things minimize pollutions. Not just how to get the most of jobs done.
  7. Hmm.. So far I have only one carrier removed off the axle although met nothing of an issue removing the bolts all over. The axle was off a truck though, laying on the ground.
  8. Women are sure nice creatures but for some folks they have difficulties to win concurence with trucks. Mike, thank you for sharing. IH firetruck looks neat and uncommon.
  9. In relation to those yellow machines the big Mack truck looks tiny. The load of beams is impressive. Just difficult to wonder the scale of disaster to get permit for transportation of something like that overhere. Neat pinguin. It seems you had a wrong thing got stuck in the fence..
  10. Do you guys talk about the bolts to attach brake spiders to axle housings? Just would like to know the place I might need to bend something.
  11. Wow! Great job! It seems it would be good on my mind for those guys to reproduce in resin castings the parts they scratch built. It could allow others to use them either and bring some $$ to the authors.
  12. Good luck on freshening her up! I like the way it was painted in the pictures you fosted at the start. As for a matt black F-model there's one already made this way in Holland. Used to attend Mack day fest in Utrecht and Amsterdam. Sorry, can't currently post the picture. The site limits me with only 92kb of upload by some reason. Vlad
  13. From looking the engine compartment shot I'd say the double cleaners were just connected to the turbo intake by the T-pipe. The engine looks like ENDT-673 or 707 to me. I'm not the great expert on both them though.
  14. Tom, great amount of work this time! The Diamond-T escort crue is a top notch! Uhhmmm... I just wanted to say Diamond-T is beautiful.
  15. I like dancing E-models.
  16. Thank you for sharing these facts, pretty interesting. I was wondering for a while on the faith of MM2 truck. Vlad
  17. Any thoughts on putting a question on any European Scania fan's forums?
  18. How old are they? Here I still can see three-drum static load rollers. Not a common thing though, just from time to time.
  19. Good scroll on the eye candys!
  20. Great truck! Glad to know someone could afford the expenses to own and keep such the beauty.
  21. Thank you for posting. Beautiful trucks I don't remember seeing any of them (pics) before. And too doubt I would soon have a chance to visit that show personally.
  22. Nice pics, thank you for sharing. As Paul said above. Out of likes for today.
  23. Good comment, Timmy! Tom, this week's report turned out of a big size. My favorite is red RW now. The Kelly Ripper set of pics is just a piece of art. The emotions on your face are absolutely true. Sure the same as the pics themself are Good score on red Macks too. And the smoker is a killer! Almost compensate the shortage of stacks on that last pick-up truck.
  24. BC, I still carry this crazy idea on my mind for real. Once I was pretty close to that but there were too many things to do at the time (as usual) so i had to limit my entertainment to roaming Turkey only. Made that trip from Moscow to Holland first and than crossed the most of Europe entering Turkey from Bulgaria. Ending up on Mediterranian coast. Hope Iranians don't have much of plans to keep me in their country. They are friendly to Russians. At least I heard that
  25. Cool to see Turkish folks talking truck tales Following your idea of Turkish Macks outside of Turkey - The first Mack I ever set in a cab of was F-model tractor wich hauled construction materials to Moscow in 1991 or 1992. It was Turkish company and Turkish registerd truck either. With nice Turkish driver who could only say "Max" in English
