You been holding out on me? How much with a swap of my old one?

Tie one end of the dodge to a pine tree, and just drive out from under it.............I am sure you can find a dirt pile and a set of ramps at the Ga rally. If ya have to, you can go from the 871 trl to Ferro's trl, then to the ground,

Welcome from the great state of SC. Come to rally, even for a day, or you will be sorry. Greatest number of MV's in the SE at one time.

I'll take 1

Welcome from SC. You need to come to the rally, if only for a day. More MV's then you can shake a stick at, and good company. Hungry? Never fear- somebody somewheres will have more than plenty......:ditto:

I am guessing you are coming up thru Wrens and Thompson? If so, stop at the amish/menniote buffet in Wrens. I think they are open Thursday- Saturday. Other then that, gas is running 3.70/gal, and diesel is over 4.00/gal.

No, there is not gas close to the rally site. The closest cheap gas is along I-20. Here are the exit numbers, west to east. Exit 114, Madison Exit 130, Greensboro Exit 138, Union Point Exit 172, Thompson There are gas stations in Union Point proper, but they are still 10 miles from the rally...

Spent the day getting ready to work on the M814 and the 105 trl. Greased the pivot for the landing gear, and cleaned out all the yard debris that the trl picked up. Then turned to the 814, greasing the pintle, and Kroiling(made up word) the lock latch. Laid out airhose and power cords for...

Ya know, you do have a friend that will have most of a 20' bed empty, and for a few words of asking and other considerations, just might let you fill up the bed of said truck full of scrap metal for transportation from Durhamtown to a location of your choosing. Of course, you will have to ask...

I was about to reach thru this computer........ You would surprised about how many folks are railfans/railroad modelers. I just found out that an 18year old High School senior 5 doors down from my house is a modeler. All he wants to do is go to work for NS when he turns 21. I think I scared...

No it wasn't the landall loadall. I would head into that corner of the field where Joe trapp was set up, and the folks from Tn(the guy that spent all night with zout and pig).along with that tree, it was quite tight getting the Long Easy swung around. I hate to back when there are folks about-...

Air leak........ :deadhorse:

It is a much larger field to hold the Ga rally operations in. The old field was getting cramped when everybody was in there- I had a hard time last year finding enough room to turn the 814 around without backing up. I can't wait!!!!!!!!!

900 series bed has a longer spacing between the holes. And both sections of troop seats are fiberglas.

I have some small things I need to do to the M814"Long Easy". I am planning to do them during the 1st weekend, and early part of the week, before everyone gets there. Plus Ferro will be there, and he can't stand to watch someone else turn wrenches..........:tinkerbell:

I have one section of troop seats for a 5 ton 800 series, and one section for a 900 series. Both are cheap..........

I'll bet the SS chaplain has a list of those SS's that have passed to the great MV scrapyard. I think that a reading of the names of those departed in the last year is a good idea. Of the ones I can think of(only 2) I had only met John Winslow. I may have met PB's friend , but I am not...

I even own a Marine Corp Motorcar(Fairmont A4-E), so I guess I am nuts with Ferro. BTW- Ferro called me so excited. He was getting ready to move HIS tank car into the shop, so he could work on it. I asked him to replace my hard earned diesel fuel in the locomotives- all he did was...

Before you build this monster, go out and find a couple of MV's to drive. You will find that as built, they are capable trucks. They are not designed to "drive over" any vehicle, including a smart car. They will push it however, and to push, you need to be closer to the ground. All the 53's...

Geez....... I sure hope wreckerman finds Elmo soon...........Or we are gonna run out of "P"sfat lady sings
