Warren D Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 I went to the ATHS Annual show in Macungie yesterday. The recipy is this, walk around for 5 or more hours looking at all the diesel candy and get several lifetimes of ideas for models. Then stop by the AITM booth and see Dave. Run credit card to limit buying model parts to build all those projects you'll never live long enough to get to. Oh, there is another way...that Mack COE for $40K!

mikemodeler Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 That orange dump truck was impressive looking and I wonder if the green one with all the chrome has ever been dirty? Thanks for sharing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should get more pics this coming weekend. It's a 1922 Autocar and the owner said he'll be taking it to the Brooklyn, CT show this coming Sunday. I usually get there early and get them driving in. As he lives local to the show, he indicated he was going to drive it to the show, even at 25 mph might be faster than loading and unloading.

stavanzer Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Thanks! It is a very neat truck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Geiger Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 I went to an ATHS show in New Jersey years ago and was blown away by the vast array of trucks and equipment that have been saved and restored! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Austin Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 I'm missing the big ATCA show that was at the Bolton Fairground in lovely Lancaster, Massachusetts (central part of the state) until a couple of years ago. I've been unable to find any info regarding the status of the show, no discussions anywhere. For a decade or so it used to be held at the field behind the Elks club in Hudson, MA. For several years there it was sponsored by ATHS, then ATCA. Why the show swapped sponsors I've never heard either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could this be the same show with a new location? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam I Am Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 Looks like there is an ATHS event on my neck of the woods Aug 23-4. I might need to check it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't have the local club members willing to put in the effort to organize, park trucks etc then it doesn't work. It's a shame as it was one of the better shows in New England.

Brian Austin Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 Thanks for the reply. I was just surprised not to find any chatter regarding that show whatsoever on the truck club forums I'd found. It was such a shock to see it go since the show really seemed to become bigger and better in its new location. I can appreciate the problem with not having enough members to crew an event, though. My first truck shows were in the late '80s, held in Marlborough, MA and sponsored by the ATHS. I knew of the Deerfield truck show, but missed that event, and sadly got lost in Providence, RI while attempting to take an offramp to a neighboring town where there was a truck show a couple of weeks ago. As a consolation I did take a few pictures of some rusty old Divco milk trucks parked in front of a dairy in that area that I've learned has been put up for sale.

This coming Sunday (6/23/19) there is a show in Brooklyn, CT. It's usually well attended and the weather forecast looks good so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
