Mark T Posted Saturday at 02:53 AM Share Posted Saturday at 02:53 AM They were an odd looking loader compared to most. A sand pit close to me used them well into the 2000s. I think they were the first articulated wheel loaders. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/25325-connecticut-construction-trucks/page/108/#findComment-586228 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Jdayf Posted 20 hours ago Popular Post Share Posted 20 hours ago Good Afternoon, New member here and just wanted to say I really enjoyed looking at the pictures under this topic. My grandfather worked for White Oak for a lot of years and I enjoyed seeing pictures all the b models. I saw a few pictures of trucks from Farmington Ready Mix. I drove that Mack DM that was pictured for them back in early 2003, I used to haul stone from Tilcon back to Farmingtons batch plant, and hauled broken chunks of concrete to their Westfield Ma plant. I do have a question for you all and I hope I’m posting in the right form. Do any of you remember Torrington Scrap Inc. based out of Torrington, they used to run Mack DM load luggers and a couple GMC general roll offs. They closed up shop in the late 90’s, I think they were bought out by Schiavone out of North Haven. Now that I’m in my late 40’s as a hobby I build 1/25 scale models of trucks. For my next project I would like to recreate a model of the Mack tractor my Uncle used to drive for Torrington Scrap. I am looking for a picture of one of their trucks and more specifically Torrington Scraps logo. I remember it being red and black, but my memory is fuzzy being it was 35 years ago when I used to go for rides in his truck. I would like to try and recreate 1/25 decals for the truck doors. Any help or info would be greatly appreciated. 4 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/25325-connecticut-construction-trucks/page/108/#findComment-586280 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mechohaulic Posted 18 hours ago Share Posted 18 hours ago Schiavone (Macks two tone brown =light /dark) bought everyone possible. Torrington scrap draws a blank. they may have brought trucks into waterbury Mack for work ; don't remember. White Oak Const; green / white lettering. this topic is one of the best for east coast people. large beverage and time ; go to page one and check amazing posted pictures. I have a few 1/25th scale built CT companies built;;; Stone construction, F&F concrete DM800 few more. good luck on Your endeavor. 1 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/25325-connecticut-construction-trucks/page/108/#findComment-586284 Share on other sites More sharing options...
