Ivan Taunton of Snead AL has one in his shop right now in the process of restoration.

To expand on what Joe D said. AT built the Browns, but I believe that one of the Brown engineers came from Corbitt and a few of the the first Browns may have been rebuilt rebuilt Corbitts, thus the close look alike. Here is a Brown and a Corbitt side by side

A Few from Iowa 80
Brocky replied to Superdog's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
Mike Thanks for the pictures.. Am planning on stopping there again when ATHS is in Des Moines. 2017 Joe D. I stopped there on the way to Yakima. If I remember correctly the Brockway was one of the first trucks Father Bill Moon bought and/or restored. -
We are wishing you the best of luck in obtaining the position you want.. Sound like you are heading in the right direction.. Maybe the Macks will come along in time..

No way.. I do NOT have that kind of checkbook!!!

Beautiful working R Model
Brocky replied to leversole's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
A real good looking R model.. Did you ask him if he would bring it to York or Macungie??? Will be up in the Doylestown area at my daughters for Turkey.. Will keep my eyes open. -
Paul Got the cure for that: Open the door stark naked, with a 12 gauge shot gun in hand, and loudly ask "What in hell do you want???"" All you see are a$$holes and elbows going out the driveway!!

Ken I thought it was just the Mennonites who used the steel wheel tractors and some rubber(?) while the Amish used horses/mules to pull they could use a pony motor on a sulky to provide PTO power??? Or does it vary with which faction of the church they or in.

Dave Nice work.. Thanks for the pictures Have a safe trip home Brocky

Jim and Ron Thank you.. Just had to get my head screwed on right this morning. I now remember hearing about the generator type retarders out west.. I think the only one I ever saw was at the 2003 ATHS Syracuse show. Some one from Calif had a souped up supercharger Cummins engine mounted on a blue trailer and used one of those retarders to put a load on it. Straight pipe and it "TALKED"!!!
-
84 Thanks for the explaination.. That helps me understand the situation better. If you have to release the brakes to recharge the system then how do you hold back a train on a long downhill like Cajon pass beside I-15 coming down int the LA area?? Are the engines able to do it like a truck with a Jake?? Brocky

Dave Be sure to post a picture after you get loaded.. Would like to see how you do it?? Brocky

Our Chapter Had an enjoyable day in Cherryville..A small but nice museum with several Macks: N61, H67, EC, LF, and B-67 concave. 30's Chevy straight trucks and some Whites. Even if we left the house at 0600 with about 3 inches of SNOW on the ground 40 miles SOUTH of Greenville!!!! Leaves are syill on and now I have several large Pecan and Oak limbs to clean out of the yard..

What Mike Y said!! Welcome to the dog house.. Both Bulldogs and Huskies!!!

My neighbor used to dress up as a Pirate and when he opened the door he would growl "What do you want?" A lot of kids turned tail and ran!!!
-
Glad to see it going to a great home!!!

Paul Thanks for the invite.. Will have to check on the full itinerary to see what we are supposed to be doing.. Will get back to you. Brocky

Sort of a mix up in dates!! The ATHS Palmetto upstate chapter from the Greenville SC area scheduled a Tour of the C.Grier Beam (Carolina Freightways) Museum for this Saturday before we knew of the exact Colfax date. Bobby if the weather is too bad at Colfax stop back by the museum on your way back home. There will be about 30 of us there.
-
Tom Go out in the back yard and dig up one of your coffee cans full of cash!!!!!! Then you can join us on the ATHS tour!!! At my age it is going to be a once in a lifetime experience.. Supposed to be close to 2000 trucks in Alice Springs.. Plus some of the top tourist stops.. Brocky

I am not a train man, but How Long does it take to stop a train?? From the number of cars which crossed the highway after impact it does not look like the engineer ever applied the brakes??? And the tank cars which derailed well beyond the crossing finally stopped it??

Frame Spread
Brocky replied to flynlow8740's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
Big Dog mentions "Chassis Saver" paint.. I have also seen some good results from the KBS rust sealer paint.. and you can put it on with a brush so that you can work it in between the rails. Check with Eddy Lucast on the Just Old Trucks site for prices, etc. Brocky -
