Yellow L (and the blue one at the up first picture) is ex-military NR with shortened frame and aftermarket L cab and fifth wheel. Kept lot of people's attention.

Leon's "Ineke"

Blue and white early R is from Great Britain, has English plates on.

White B has special body for use as a camper.

Last Sunday was too sunny at Amsterdam. I came there in the noon with a friend of mine who lives in Germany. The reason was to visit a meeting of Dutch Mack Fanclub. This year was 33th (or 34th ?) time of the event. There was another place then many previous years. Amsterdam instead of Utrecht.

What is a gear-to-axle bolt arrangement of tandems? It there are 8 bolts and the ratio is about 7-8 I could be in interest for tandem gears. Vlad

Thank you,It's not too hectic need for me though that is a part I still haven't found. Vlad

Good, would be in interest to look for. By the word, I'm modelling AC Monogram at the moment. How it's usual the moment is too long. I started to built completely new chassis and met info troubles. Couldn't realised central (under cab) crossmembers and pedal arrangement. Although haven't enough time for, working on full-scale NR. Vlad

Thank you guys, You're very friendly. I'm thinking, yes. It's good I have a time for, because just afraid to make so pleasunt plans. Probably I can arrive to NYC. If I hope right, Macungie gets the area not too far from? As for US Army, there is "Marchall museum" in The Netherlands with a content of great collection of American army vehicles, trucks, tanks and everything other taken with Lend-Lease to West Europe. I was there two times, can make special report if anybody is in interest. There are 2(!) Macks overthere. How you have probably noted yet, this figure is too high due to European level of Mack concentration.

Happy birthday!

Paul, nice project. Could I see at some place pictures of your AC(s)? Vlad

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
