1961H67 Posted February 22, 2023 Author Share Posted February 22, 2023 Yeah I see crap like that all the time,, I guess someone has nothing better to do than hack websites trying to get people to click on it. That person probably never saw Ukrainian. We’re talking Mack Trucks, no time for BS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mowerman Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 I have never had one, but I was up at a friend of a friends house around 15 years ago his whole garage was full of trucks and buildings and scenery.

Popular Post 1961H67 Posted February 26, 2023 Author Popular Post Share Posted February 26, 2023 I still have a few parts of HO trains from my Son, and I bought my Grandson some to add to it. I got this 1941 model from a guy that sounds like the one you mentioned. He realizes it’s 82 years old , that makes it special to him, also the cars are metal, no plastic. I’m not a Train collector, but I love to go to the local shows an check out the detail layouts. All Kids need more of this and less videos! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post 1961H67 Posted February 26, 2023 Author Popular Post Share Posted February 26, 2023 Another truck related thing about the last local train show we went to is that all the really detailed layouts have a lot of Mack trucks involved, one guy had a setup with a fire station, quarry, coal mine, trucking company, all using B models, Trains and Mack’s just go together, They should they Built America! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1961H67 Posted February 26, 2023 Author Share Posted February 26, 2023 Just saw this on eBay,, still available! I’ve got to many Hobbies/ Projects, if someone has a HO collection it would be a cool addition, I don’t think it’s complete , probably worth $40 for parts. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mowerman Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 I did have an HO train set think most of us did ….. I used to see this incredible looked like hand built cars snd trucks from the 40s running around this track somewhere in so cal it was a yearly show,,, this display was just a part of it … I used to stand there for quite a while and watch everything going round and round and I can’t remember where it was or what show … I think it was Pomona fairgrounds….

mowerman Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 Lol right on man I’m sure will absolutely thrilled with results …. I wish I had more projects around here that required building with wood ….I enjoy working with it …my father-in-law was a big fan of woodworking working and he really enjoyed it…. But he had all kind of cool machines in his garage for cool stuff can be a great way to spend your time …. Ok off the subject… but who cares these days everybody is just going away at a record pace ha ha… Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrsmackpaul Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 My father always said "wood is only good for keeping you warm" Wood really is a issue in Australia as our white ant (termite) population is such that it destroys most woods at a record pace in most parts of Australia unless the wood is treated Australia never went thru the last ice age and as such the glaciers never took all the soil away while carving out new mountain ranges, apparently we have more white ants than rest of the world combined Anyway back to the topic Paul 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1961H67 Posted March 5, 2023 Author Share Posted March 5, 2023 One of my parts trucks has the floor replaced with metal, this one still has the original wood, but in bad shape where the accelerator pedal and foot pedal bolts down , and it’s soaked with oil from underneath, I have no idea how it got so oily, I steamed cleaned both them and it’s like brake shoes,, just keeps bleeding out.

Vladislav Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 I belive some L-models had steel floor panels from the factory. As for oil the source could be the U-joint right behind the transmission. It spreads excess of grease due to spin. Shift lever also supposed to leak some tranny oil on a hot run. 1 Quote Никогда не бывает слишком много грузовиков! leversole 11.2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mowerman Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 That’s got a funny about the brake shoes . Yes, they do bleed through. … Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
