    Flathead six banger EN-271 with a horn bolted to the head and a Fram canister oil filter in orange. A simpler time.

    Nice selection of trucks! Also nice that it isn't raining although I see a puddle in the yard. In my neighborhood, I can't remember when we had two sunny days in a row.

    Somewhere I heard or read that the track was abandoned and the rails pulled to where this engine is located. With no track, that may be a problem getting your auction win back home!

    I will have to head over for the test and tune. Haven't been to Epping in a couple of years.

    Good call. I have nothing on air and forgot about their go/no go gauge.

    I don't see a prohibition of a rocket blast zone within the town limits of Gorham, ME according to their zoning rules as long as a rural/agricultural use can be shown for said area. Interesting....

    OEM for the transmission was GO-B90 which was a mild extreme pressure gear oil. The rear used GO-D90 which was a multi purpose oil. Lots of brands out there so pick your favorite. For hobby use and an occasional trip to the pit, probably could use something like Mobilube HD Plus 80W-90 in both.

    I don't know where the Autocar came from but I could do some checking around. Clicked the picture May 2016 at the Western Mass show and the truck is located in the Greenfield, MA area.

    The reason I always heard for juice brakes was there was no room for a conventional air brake chambers while using mega duty suspension and giving some room for everything to oscillate. Big axles, big drums, big springs or big walking beams take up a lot of space.

    Get the ride heights specs from the dealer or a good truck shop using your VIN. Park it on a level surface and see what you have for heights in comparison to the factory information.

    Yes, we had two meals in the dinning cars at the Red Caboose. At the time of my visit, the cars were rigged up to add motion so it replicated running down the rails! A return trip to the Lancaster area is probably 3-4 years out.
