Because of a site's truck orientation this tread got "odds'n ends".Yes, 500K. It's nothing if I say I like compressor pre-war Mercedes. There are some of them in Germany, most are well-known. If you look at the picture, the plate conteins "Sinsheim". It means the car is just temporary out of its original location. I saw whole a collection of compressors 500-540 in Sinsheim. Also 770 and G4. Can post of course but as you noted we all prefere Macks owerhere There were many old Mercedes including 500K in Russia after the war. Most of them were exported back in Germany in early 90's. This a sorrow to Russians, of a same kind as you feel for Mack export. Vlad

Welcome! I also like hard rock but prefere heavy metal. Both in vehicles and music.

Yes, David, they are popular this way. And to discuss with road police.Here I'm living ! Had a trip just yesterday with a 5 tonn roll back that a friend of mine keeping at me for a mounth. It was rainy and I drove 80-90 km/h. Saw IH with a container rig in a mirror, he followed me shorting the distance. That's why I prefered to keep the speed. The road width was like in the movie. One moment KamAZ truck came out on the road from aside in 200 meters in front of me. I started to brake. Truck went slowly but after a hundred meters he stops. I'm also with a bit nervous. But when I looked the mirror in a pair of seconds I saw "Inter" making himself in-line after 2 meters off-set, and another tank truck/semitrailer behind it crossed the road with a cab out of a left side of it. JUST like in the movie! I activated CB and heard "Hey guys, keep another way, here's a crash with a tank truck and a car." Brrr....

Thanks alot, I probably found most of I need at Chrome Country. At the moment I have got a bad practice of recieving privat post from the US. Last parsel is still on his way, four previous walked about 8 weeks each. So now trying to use local parts supplier. Price is close but they have a risk on them, not me. As I believe still. Now waiting for a big order, but it's in a conteiner, longer that air. Would continue after recieving it. Very good you're helping to know of what is metal and what's plastic, not every online list gives correct info.Vlad

You're looking well, Winny, but too much black greeze is spilled though. Vlad

There is some special programm probably.Vlad

Beautifull !

Ugly looking device but it's Mack. Vlad

Yes, I saw it. But it's some strange looking thing without a gun and with many traces of bullets and "big bullets".

Thank you for talk with him about.I wanted to send money but he answered 'When you recieve them". So I still didn't.

The last one looks unreal !

Bob, couldn't you get a stop-picture from that movie? Do you have a digital copy? Vlad

Nice trucks, just haven't seen this tread before. Thanks a lot for sharing. Vlad

Yes, we're all here like pictures indeed Vlad

You're welcome guys! Kubinka museum - 80 km from my home not coming into the city. Kubinka - little town of nearly 10000 people. Location of the museum - part of a big tank division. Museum is military. Geat collection of tanks, lots of German war time, most of them Germans have not yet. They were just taken to Russia after the war. But not so nice represantative - just tanks in line, lots of tanks. Here are some pictures from of 4 years ago visit. Last one - German mines destroyer. Probably man-operated. Vlad

Yes David, I'm just falling to pieces with my interests.A guy on Canadian army vehicle forum has a signature "Why it is that when I have a money I have no time, and when I have a time I have no money". I'm strongly fighting to escape conclusion of this kind. Vlad.

No, there is written "Kohlen kuli".Don't know what means kuli but Khole means coal. So probably must been a coal hopper. Vlad

Separate them...Are there original frame bolts avalible? And does anybody knows - are there bolts in a frame of 1988 R metric or inch? It's Canadian production though. I took my frame minor apart removing 5th wheel, saw a mixture of bolt sizes. Vlad

Looks upset a bit. Vlad

I also meant about grease fittings, maybe not so bed idea.

Mmmm, nice melons...

The open air exposition. German U-bot of 60's, aircrafts, old China steam loc. And Mack. The second Mack in both museums

Hall number 2: German aircraft of 40's Junkers Ju-52, Russian space shuttle "Buran", racing trucks and some other stuff.

Nice collection of fire trucks including Mack.

Also Messershmidt, but after-the-war units. Germans call them Kabinen-roller.
