Your ahead of Chris alright, and WAY ahead of me, seeing as I'm never going to do mine now. (well, not in the foreseeable future.) Can't wait to see it at GA! And don't overdo it Neil! blow a splint and bad things will happen....

Ha! as soon as I saw pic one I knew who was doing your hauling. Great job! Chris's has stalled to a halt, and I can do nothing to mine living in a town house. Plus the wife says if I leave the box on this truck I can get another whole truck... So, you know... :-D Neil, you got my number...

You know I'm just messing with you Neil... ;-) Jesus, I remember your rig, you did a good job with it. I'm not wrecking a 109, I'm building a trailer out of rusted out 105s for mine. I can always loosen the bolts and crane it back on the truck. Still not sure what I'm going to do with the...

Oh you want the gloves off old man? LOL... This is going to be fun!

Yep, it was 'trapped' at a quarry in Anderson, SC. A mile of track was missing from the quarry to the museums line, and 6.5 miles of the museum's track was in too poor a shape to run it over.

Oooooo.... I like that idea! I was going to put a 'porch' on the rear. One issue with having the door face forward is leakage when driving in the rain. Hell, mine leaks sitting still LOL.

For those of you asking about 'what crane?' 15 ton at 12ft. Pretty sure I can swing a 109 box around with it. 1947 AMERICAN with gas pony motor to start the big one. Still works great. Clinto, that engine hoist is a perfect height for deuce motor pulling. My money would be on that was it's...

The pictures make it look good. If you look closer, it is pretty rusty under the cab, and we found cross members with the rivets rusted right out of them! I sure wouldn't want to drive it... The new engine was for NG training, nothing more. Busy? all I need is to build a trailer and then...
