Well, the Bergen County Run of the TfT Train 2014 got the series of 4 runs off to an '...OUTSTANDING...' start (to quote the 1st Sgt from Picatinny). Here's a short video of the train arriving in Wycoff, stop 3 of 6, just when it decided to get serious about the rain. Quick glimpse of...

Great start! Ain't parades in L/1 a hoot? So much noise and smoke, and so much time to enjoy it!:p Steve Kuhn

Just a reminder bump that the trains begin this Saturday, 12/6 in Bergen County, Sunday 12/7 in NY, and next Saturday in Morris County. The link above has the stations and schedules, and you can either run the whole train, a portion of it, or meet it at a station or 2. Sunday, 12/7 at 1 p.m...

I checked the OReilly number at NAPA and they gave me this in case anyone needs it in the future. Part Number: WH 131X5 Product Line: Weatherhead...

That's where I checked. Guess I got it right. Never trust myself with that stuff without a sanity check. Thanks to both of you. Steve

I reviewed the TM, looked at a bunch of photos, and I think I figured out that the surge brake assembly on the towing frame and the brake parts from the backing plate outward are the same on these 2 trailers. Is that correct, or if I'm mistaken, could anyone point me to a reference? Thanks...

Could someone confirm a size & thread or NAPA # for this part mentioned above? TEE PLUG (TO USE WHEN BOBBING A DEUCE AND REMOVING REAR AXLE HOSE): I'm not clear whether it is 7/16 x 24 or 1/2 x 20. I'd prefer not to take the part off for measurement before I have the plug. Great thread...

Thanks. I requested that information and have been waiting, hence this thread. Steve

I'm wondering if anyone might be able to say if this is a military trailer. I haven't been able to find one with this dualie configuration. I know the tires seem to be civilian. Doesn't look like an M310. Thanks. Steve

It's really a bear trying to find a yellow truck on a mountain near a Class 6 road near Lempster, NH on Google Earth. That'd give a better idea on the recovery problem. 'Fraid I'll have to give up. Steve

Toys For Tots Train 12/6, 7, 13, 14 Come along for a good cause. This will have 4 days this year. Bergen/Passaic County will be 12/6 from Rochelle Park -> Butler NY will be 12/7 from Warwick -> Walden Morris County will be 12/13 from Rockaway -> Flanders Roxbury will be a static display...

Bergen Harley Davidson sent out their weekly newsletter today and this was in it. Now a bunch of people know of at least 1 collection point in the area. They meet our train at the 1st stop and deliver the toys they collect. The photo is from last year's drop off. We were there last week...

Isn't it supposed to be horses, guys w/ shovels, THEN the street sweeper? Steve

24087 is quite brown in most light, but at some angles of sunlight it gets dark green. Here are a couple of Vietnam photos with USMC trucks showing what I think is 24052, so that should be authentic, too. Don't go by computer monitors for tint because they vary widely. Steve

One day I'm going in to Secaucus vewwwy early, find me a spot on an overpass on Rt 3, and film the whole thing coming through. Steve

I'm wondering if anyone has tried this product. http://www.hinderrust.com They want a wash & wipe with mineral spirits before priming and painting. I'm thinking of this more for unpainted surfaces. Thanks. Steve

Bergen Harley put up a few photos of the MVs of the day on their Facebook page. https://www.facebook.com/bergenharleydavidson/photos_stream Steve

Several of the Ling's people know it well, and I know of the Torsk through Maddog's posts here and one of their [former] volunteers stopped by the Ling over the summer. It's a bit of a haul between locations. Thanks. End of thread hijack. Steve

Worth mentioning that the guy on the right in photo 2 is a 94 y/o sub vet of the USS Lapon and saw duty in the Pacific. He shows up at the Ling EVERY Saturday and Sunday at 8:30 or so and does anywhere from 2 - 3 tours each day. The WWII Sub Vet flag is his. He donated another to the Navy sub...
