Basically they're quite similar to what was installed on tandem L or B models. The banjo shape was slightly different and neat-looking axle bumpers were used to limit their travel up to the frame rails. Those were a pack of spring leaves attached to the lover side of the rail, the same spot you can see a bumper on a B or even R/DM. Looked like a common spring pack cut in halves and one such half is installed above each axle end. Sorry difficult to describe and probably more difficult to figure out. I just don't have a pic handy. There's a book with green cover of Mack historical series describing early F-series trucks. You will find detailed shots of those bogies there along many other amazing photos.

gxbxc Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 I was thinking the same thing I also looks like it has a long hood,wonder what motor was under it.Could the trailer be an early Rodgers ,I read in an add that there trailer were built so that any beam could carry the full tonnage rating of the trailer so if it was a 30 ton trailer each beam was 30 ton rated.They used to side load in those days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j hancock Posted April 19, 2018 Author Share Posted April 19, 2018 I think it is a Mack AP with a big six under the hood and does looks like a Rogers trailer. Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post russell t Posted April 24, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted April 24, 2018 This looks like a big chore for an AC going either uphill or downhill. In 1932 there was a flash flood in the dry arid Tehachapi Canyon above Bakersfield Ca. The trains were stopped because of the intense rain and crews were in a small resturant along the tracks. The wall of water '40 FOOT HIGH" came so fast that the restaurant was washed away, whole trains were undermined and left buried in gravel, The large steam locomotives took days to find in the realigned channel. Loss of life was estimated at over 50 including a nearby highway crew of 20. Unknown but thought to be over 40 were additional transients riding the rails. I have a book showing equipment including the number "43" cat 60 pictured here digging out totaly buried big 4 10 2 locomotives.

ekennedy21 Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 Wow. I wonder what model that truck is.... it looks like a FW front with a chain drive tandem. I have never heard of an fwsw. The truck looks to small to be an Fcsw. It can’t be an fksw with an L cab because those were worm driven. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elephant ears Posted July 7 Share Posted July 7 On 11/16/2017 at 2:18 PM, Vladislav said: Would be interesting to put an eye onto the rear bogie setup. There should be one of its special design. Older style than you can see (and get) off a L or B model. Most likely elephant ears Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vladislav Posted July 7 Share Posted July 7 6 hours ago, Elephant ears said: Most likely elephant ears Nope. No elephant ears there. They became with a L-model I guess. You can see them on NR's definitely but those FKSW's and other pre-1940 tandems were different. I should look for a picture and post. Need a bit of time for.
