Starting DM800 plastic model
mowerman replied to mowerman's topic in Mack Scale Model and Diecast Corner
i cant complain too terribly bad,,,,bought this kit partially assembled long time ago,,,and this is the first time ive come across something missing -
Thought you might’ve known of them off hand I used to work with the younger brother Micheal one we were both too young to drive yet we were both working in a gulf gas station the good old days now it seems like most everything sucks
-
Last time I went through there, I saw one of the woods brothers trucking past me They were still driving red R model dump trucks I did recognize them, but I didn’t know which one it was. There was two or three brothers. Micheal woods was the only one I knew the other guys were a lot older.

The good old days thanks for that brocky
-
Ha ha, thanks for that not surprising
-
Last time I went through there, the auto parts store was no longer there that was over 20 years ago
-
I haven’t been there in years, but I thought the fire station was right there someplace.. United auto parts was in there somewhere .. I used to work. There.. was right in there someplace. Also, I think it was a little further down past the City Hall compared to some other towns it was a pretty small town Square. Super subs are used to go there all the time that was also gone last time I went through there.

Thanks for that. I don’t remember what was there except Lee’s Connor store it was right over there someplace the store was dinky but I used to go in there all the time for something.

Well, I open the model and look for a transmission mount for about 20 minutes as far as I got, could not find it I’ll have to look for something else to set it in the frame -

We were talking about letters and phone numbers. I’m sure you’re remember those days as well. Ours was Jefferson five in 1964

Wow, that’s amazing. Ithaca even today has not got a whole lot there homer even smaller. I was very impressed with the entire area. That was the smallest airport I’ve ever seen. As far as Crank phones, I don’t think I have ever seen one in person only on TV.

I think I’ve made the comment before I grew up in the most boring town in the United States
-
Well, we had one home improvement center there pretty good size for the time much bigger than a hardware store. We used to buy everything there now it’s completely gone. The building is not even there anymore. It’s a strip mall. And yes, it was a great place to grow up never in a trouble there at all the town was really quiet. Our newspaper police lottery section really never had anything in there except stupid shit like somebody kicked over Mrs. Smith birdbath dumb stuff like that never any crime at all. The cops used to sit in a small park and read the newspaper.

No, I did not know him. Thanks for that. May he rest in peace. I was also a third generation driver and as far as I know the last one. After many many years, I was sick to death of it, but still admit it’s not the worst racket you could get into still a lot of money to be made when you land the right job but for sure all the fun has gone out of it even for newbies don’t know what they missed… bob

I haven’t been back to Massachusetts in over 20 years it’s usually Pennsylvania someplace
-
I’ve mentioned I grew up in Peabody and we only had one supermarket a first national I think it’s been too many years, but as far as I know, the town has never built another one bunch of corner stores
-
Excellent Rich, thanks for that. I was very surprised when you told me Merritt gas stations were gone.
-
Yes, same thing here Tom I always thought Marianne was cuter now that I’m older. They’re both dolls same thing here they drive like maniacs across 80.
