Nice little project under way.

I would pay admission for this show. Gladly.

Send the bill to the EPA and the government for forcing this crap to market, that is doing NOTHING to save the environment.

We could all be driving reliable trucks that get 10 MPG right now if it wasn't for this crap.

True, but Ustain repeatedly pushed the "magic pill" of EGR in the Maxxforce line despite his engineers telling him it was flawed product that would never work correctly.

The suits also point to confidential witness testimony in lawsuits claiming Navistar violated securities laws, who say chief engineers in the company presented to former Navistar President and CEO Dan Ustian their concerns with the engines but the company proceeded with them anyhow. Engineers for the company also told their supervisors that the level of EGR the company wanted — along with its fuel economy and performance parameters — “was not possible” per the “physics of EGR,” according to the lawsuit.

The company also halted any work on SCR as a fall-back and threatened to fire employees who discussed “alternate solutions to…EGR,” the lawsuit claims.

So the end sum was Navistar trying to meet ridiculous government mandates with unreliable technology. 

Nope. The licensing on for real world models for ATS takes forever. The game has been out for maybe 2 or 3 years and they just released the International Prostar. 

On the Spintires side they seem to have no trouble licensing products from GM, Ford, International, etc. I really wish I had the skill to make the models used in both these games.

There is a new version of Spintires coming out soon. It's slated to have the IHC Transtar, Oshkosh, and I believe the Scout.

The Loadstar wrecker is the best post so far.

They sure did haul some heavy loads with those old rigs. Thanks for sharing.

I always hear the one around my house but I never see it. Mostly because it is active at ungodly hours. Nice catch.

Here is the largest crane shortly after finally assembly a few months back. There is actually a second crane on site now, slightly "smaller" in capacity. It has a pad on the other side of the dome. It's a very impressive sight to see both booms in the sky at the same time but very difficult to get in the camera frame!

I was in MA a few weeks back and bought this very bag solely because it had a truck on it. 😂

Looks like a major downsizing is taking place. It appears the main shop is up for sale? Camps? Trucks! Everything!

Deleted I assume. Hopefully the original owners kept copies.

Very interesting. Now you west coast guys can get in on the Brockway action!

This old rig will bring plenty of eyeballs to your YT channel. Great work!

3.5 or 5.25 size floppy disk? 

Sex sells.

I know the deal but I wish more trucks weren't painted in "universal fleet white".

To dream the impossible dream.

LR11000 under assembly at Syracuse University.

Cool. I was not aware of the "bullet" model.

Guess these guys got bit but the truck bug back when Cat made trucks. 😏
