Yep, I still have it. You need it? I'm having doubts about mounting it on my m109, worried about the strength of the fender.

A hundred trucks, is a drop in the bucket. Of the number of trucks left in Gov hands even.

Ditto on the pics, the wife said I could keep the 818 if I can put a bed on it, I want to keep the 5th wheel too.

I don't understand why you don't upload the pictures here? nopics 10 years from now I may want to do exactly what your doing, and I won't be able to get in touch with you for whatever reason to get an 'invite' Also, I cannot go to any of the filesharing photo album etch websites on my...

$5900 from Redding CA to Sumter, SC. By rail, on a flatcar.

Checking on rail service now. :-D I wish this was like 40 years ago, probably could take a caboose to stay in, an engine and the DODX flat from the museum and run it all the way out and back for free.

Mudguppy, maybe we can meet up and go one day? I'd like to meet more SC members.

Neat bend mirrors! I want a couple! :wink: Awesome work guys, love it when a plan comes together. Eric, glad you made it home safe with your new 'toy'.

Thanks M1075! I like that look and may go with those tires if I can't find anything better.

Uh, AMGeneral has 2 for sale in NC pretty cheap for 2 trucks....

Aw man, If I still had my rusty one you have all the parts I would have needed to restore it! good haul!

She did just fine. They dropped a new engine in her before surplusing. There were two long grades on the way back to the railyard. Had to go 3 low coming out of the construction area at the power plant, and there was one on a small country back road that I had to go to 2nd. Other than that, it...

Rideni, that's the problem with some of the members, they DO expect everything handed to them. Problem is, some are on the Board of Trustees. They expected me to move all that FOR FREE. :evil: Anyway, yeah, I forgot about the jointed rail part, your right you couldn't do 125 on it. Well, for a...

I got these adapters. I got mine to work, trying to get the rest to so I can offer them for sale. They have the military plug on one end and the 7 pin round civi on the other.

We couldn't fit all the buckets on pallets, so we had to get creative with unloading them. They were HEAVY!!! filled with bolts or rail clips, most had also filled with water and froze solid.

And some more pics:

Well, many of you know that I work for the Air Force driving trains. I also volunteer at a RR museum, as the mechanic/engineer/secretary/trackworker etc etc We (the museum) recently got 1.5 miles worth of 119lb per yard rail and concrete crossties. Problem was we needed all of this stuff...

Count the wife and I in, and I would have my tickets right now but I can't open OD iron from my government computer! Mike, I could tow your MKT down with the m818 or the m109, Angie wants to drive one and me the other, so we are bringing both.

I am planning to go in 2011. I was planning for this year, but if I wait until next, I can have 2 months worth of vacation time saved up. Neil Hendrix is also planning to be my copilot.

Anyone have any photos of a m818 on 395s? I was thinking of going with civilian tires on mine or radials. I'm going to need tires soon as all this heavy hauling is really wearing down the NDTs and they weren't the best when I got the truck.
