cxn613 Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 I was wondering what the Macungie plant tour is like? Is it worth going? Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firemack Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 Great Tour, lots of different models go down the line, I wanted to see how the trucks were assembled so I could use that to understand how to restore the B model as I think they use the same basic assemblies. Do not forget to call ahead to set up a time.Firemack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firemack Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 Cxn613I don't think they need five, I know it was only 4 in the group I went with. Give them a call and find out. I am sure they can set it up with others if needed. Firemack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

convoyduel Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 I walked down the entire line with my new '02 RD in late April 2001. It was absolutely a fantastic experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

57 bcr Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 I go every time I make the ATCA show at Macungie. You don't get to see the line moving, but its still a good tour. The show,museum,and the plant tour are a must for the MACK fan.Every Fathers Day weekend it is the place to be.

erymer Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 I have not had a chance to check out the Macungie plant, but I have been to the one in Dublin before Mack moved back to PA. I had a blast there and can only imagine going to the one up in PA. I would go in a heartbeat is I ever make it up that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThaddeusW Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 I was wondering what the Macungie plant tour is like? Is it worth going? Thank you.Worth it. You are pretty much allowed to walk along the assembly line un-guided. Look all you want and stay as long as you want. So its no so much a tour as it is more like being turned loose in the plant .I went for the first time last year and plan to each time I go to Macungie.
