I was lucky enough to get a ride in a high rail when I was at CN. Track inspector took pity on me when I had to walk to the engine from the rear car of a 1.5 mile grain train.

Thanks. They are. Some of them had 2 floors and some had 3 depending on if they hauled autos or trucks.

Valor, you know I loved the fact that I got to “play” with trains. Driving them by remote was on of the coolest things I have ever done. If it weren’t for the union and management, I wouldn’t have left.

New Orleans east, just outside of the CSX yard

This was me in the conductor seat back in 2007 when I worked for UP. I've never been in prison but I did do 3 years with UP and another 3 with CN. Best thing I ever did was quit while I could still afford to.

As of 2 weeks ago they are still allowing it with no mention of having to have a physical plate. That has been the biggest part of this ordeal. The "truck" does have a title but that is a very integral part of the story that I will explain next week. (Fingers crossed!!!!!!)

Thanks @juanprado. Next week I should have my M37 registered and titled as an ex military vehicle using the "in lieu of" hood numbers. I will write up the details once I get it completed. BTW, it has not been easy or fun!!!!!!!

Hmm... idea.... balloons and a helium bottle to secure the kid votes... 😁😆😅 I have a little bucket with army men to give to the kids. They got a kick out of getting in the truck and getting a souvenir!!

I cut open the hole and put a bunch of bolts in it and rolled it a lot of times to loosen any rust. There are 2 weirs in there so I couldn't get to the corners so I did the best I could. I used POR15 to etch the metal and once it dried I used and am very pleased with Redcote . It is designed...

The one I am looking at has an bubba seat on it. It looks to have the deck parts and it has a muffler. I need to get better pics from him to see other parts.

When time allows, I am going to look at a 1969 M274 A5 that if for sale not too far from me. The seller says that it runs and he recently added electric starter to it. What parts should I make sure are not missing (as I have read that some parts are becoming very hard to find)? Anything in...

I have been volunteering there for several months now and I really enjoy the time spent there. I was talking with the curator today and he wants to arrange some sort of event for owners of MVs at the museum. I’ll let you know if I hear anything.

Just wanted to share what is at the LANG museum. I thought this was cool that it is s/n 0001 of 29 built. Does anyone have experience with these?

I use the same pump. Very pleased with it.

@Explorer0863 here is the pic of what I did

I cut out a "blind" out of sheet metal and then mounted it using the fuel pump bolts. I will try to get a pic for you tomorrow.

Thanks everyone. I told him I am going to pass on them because I really don’t have a need for them. I told him I’ll try to help him sell them when he gets them.

He and I both are not familiar with these trailers so I wanted to get a ballpark price to talk to him about.

I have a guy at work that just purchased 2 M103a3 with gensets on them from govplanet and asked me if I was interested in buying them as he has no interest in the trailers. I am not sure what to offer him for them. Could anyone help me out with a price to offer him? Thanks Mike

It was a beautiful day for a car show yesterday.
