OK, let me get more specific: Let's take this picture (Thanks again Vlad!): 1) What valves hide under there? I believe that's a major brake system node 2) Is it also a brake system component? What is it? 3) How about this? Do any/Which of those hoses go to the dash mounted valves? 4) Non brake related: What can you tell me about this wiring detail? Thanks a lot in advance, any info would be a great help. additional photos heartly welcome! Have a nice day Paweł

Hello! As many of you know, I'm working on a model of a 1:24 RW Superliner. I'm about to put the cab on the frame. There's a lot of plumbing on the firewall and I'd like to show some of that in my model. Could you help me please? I I would need a photo of that firewall and some explanation where all the valves are and where the brake lines go. Any other comments on other system are of course also welcome. Unfortunately I live very, very far away from the nearest R model around Thanks a lot in advance and have a nice day Paweł

Hello! Oh yeah, that red one is really something special! Have a nice day Paweł

Well, that shade of green was called Oslo Green by FIAT in Poland. We used to have a car painted this color in the early nineties: Good luck with your project and have a nice day Paweł

Hello! Those are very cool reference pictures for any modeller doing a Mack model! Thanks for sharing and good luck with your project Paweł

Hello! Very nice models! I especially like the first DM. I see you've been roaming through the central Europe again? Hope you didn't get any trouble with the Ukraine on your way. Thanks for sharing and have a nice day Paweł

Oh yeah, your truck looks really sharp! Congratulations and thanks for sharing, have a nice day Paweł

Thanks for the song, other dog, that San Quentin take is the best, with that extra fast tempo! Have a nice and sunny day Paweł

Hello! Now the whole world is getting lazy. Some call it "Progress". Even the old Chinese are talling their children: "Yeah, you go to that comfy, seven day a week, 12 hours a day factory job, instead of working here on the farm like we did!" For somebody not knowing the operation that landing gear mod looks simple, but I guess there are lots of small things to work out, before it can be widely adopted. Have a nice day Paweł

Hello! I wonder how come this baby doesn't have Mack axles? Could you post some photos from under the hood? (No, I can't buy it) Thanks in advance and good luck Paweł

Yeah, I just love that song! 'Speshly when Johnny Cash is singin'! Thanks for the lyrics! Paweł

Does USA use the metric system? Nope. But it's getting there - inch by inch Once I had a really hard time to get SAE taps and dies for one project. A friend brought me a case of them from Australia. Here in Europe we don't use anything else but metric system any more - and it's really convenient! Good luck with your project, leversole and have a nice day everybody Paweł

It reminds me of the classic lyrics: "It's a mighty rough road from Lynchburg to Danville, with line with a three mile grade"... For the record - USA is getting all the snow that was meant for central Europe - the spring has come to us two weeks ago, way earlier than usual. Hope you can make it through the snow and the spring time comes to you eventually, have a nice day Paweł

kscarbel - your posts about truckmaking history are something special on these forums, right since you started posting. I also wanted to thank you for the interesting information you're posting. I once asked you for help on the topic of the Superliner, I sure wished you would help me on this one... As for the Mack company, it always hurts my heart to see waste - and gutting Mack wasted many opportunities - for people to have good jobs, for truckers to have good machines to work with and so on. I read many times your writing about how it's a shame and pity - but what would be interesting is to hear your opinnion on what was the reason for what happened. Somebody sold, somebody bought and then decided to take it all apart - I would like to ask your opinion as to why? The economic theory says people are rational. By that nobody would kill a hen laying golden eggs. I look forward tou your view on that. Once again, thanks for sharing and have a nice day Paweł

CONSTRUCKTOR - that sure is some serious spelling! Thanks for sharing, have a nice day Paweł

Hello Vinny! Happy birthday! I wish you good health, happiness and peace! Paweł

'Scuse me, how about that silver trim on top of the hood? Do you see it often? Doesn't it cause glare? That info could help me a lot! Thanks in advance and have a nice day Paweł

Hello! I read here on the forums, but also in a newspaper article, that the Gold Dog indicated the V-8 engine... But this related to the Superliner. Could the policy be different on different models? About that raised hood section again - how often do you see it silver? And is it chrome or stainless steel? Isn't there a danger of sun glare this way? Thanks in advance for the answers and have a nice day Paweł

Alastair - thanks a lot for the pictures - it's not so easy fo find'em on the net, it's a great help! I wish I could tell you when it will be done, but I can never tell when something comes around, that keeps me from building - like my company sending me on a business trip, or something. Sure thing, most of the work is done, so I'll try to finish it as soon as I can! Thanks again for your help and have a nice day Paweł

Hello Josh! Very nice pictures! Could you help me with one thing? I'm building a scale model of a Superliner (http://www.bigmacktrucks.com/index.php?/topic/19052-mack-rw-superliner-scale-model/) and I don't really know how the Superliner hood looks from the inside. Could you post a picture showing that? I'm especially interested in how it is finished (what paint/colour). I just love that pinstriping on that first picture, by the way. Thanks in advance, have a nice day Paweł

Hello! I wonder why Mark put the treehuggers right into the conversation?? They would rather order everyone to use only bicycles. Anyhow, the story is wicked. I ride a bike every day when I go to work - saves me lots of gas money, gym money and helps the engine of my van last a lot longer, because it doesn't have to make the short trips. Less polution, traffic and so on. Like Gunny Hartman used to sing - "Good for you! Good for me!" :-)) If somebody banned it in my area, he would sure get some big minus points from me. Have a nice day Paweł

So what happens now? How do you manage a thing like that? Good luck with it Paweł

Cool! A Superliner! What colours do you have in mind for this one? Good luck with the build and have a nice day Paweł

Lmackattack - that dump truck is looking very good! What scale would it be? Good luck with your next projects and have a nice day Paweł

Hello Vinny! Thanks a lot for your comment. It occured to me just now, that there's a strong family resemblance betwen our avatar trucks withouut paint! Have a nice day Paweł
