MCM Ohana (6/6)

  1. It's been tried before. If memory serves, the recording industry had a fit over second-hand CDs.
  2. Interesting way to do it in an area with limited resources. It is very clever. Thanks for the info!
  3. I don't know for certain, but based on the pictures, I would guess the same way they load automobiles into train cars. There's a ramp that meets with the bed of the railcar, and the truck/bus is driven up the ramp and to the first vacant rail car over the empties. It looks like there are little platforms between the railcars so the truck/bus can transit between railcars. I imagine there's a similar method for unloading tractor first. I can't imagine backing a bus or loaded semi 800 feet on a narrow bridge even if it is straight. I am sure the busses are delivered with a splash of fuel and are totally ready to drive, and they are loaded under their own power.
  4. Try looking for anchor chains for small scale ships - 1/350 or 1/700 scale. There are many options out there, many in black. One of them may work.
  5. I was, and will be. I was born and raised in Louisville (Hikes Point/Jeffersontown), joined the Navy to see the world, and will move back to Louisville in the next few years.
  6. Love your build so far. All the detailing is wonderful. I'm looking forward to seeing the completed project.
  7. The NASCAR body is pretty much identical to the stock body in external appearance with an opening flat hood. It has all the lights, moldings and badges on it. I would assume the snap/promo body would have a closed hood and mounting posts inside, but I've never had one.
  8. The problem with that is that it looks like Bubba just took a break from his angle grinder session to go get another beer.
  9. I just wonder what happened to all the TR7 garages out there....https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UrgF38F_qw0
  10. The Revell Lincoln LSC that was recently released would be a good candidate. It should have everything you need to build a Pro Street, including street tires. The chassis will be a bit short and probably narrow, but the mechanical bits will likely be good.
  11. This one may have a cowl induction hood - it's difficult to tell from the box art. I do have the kit but it's been stashed away for years and I don't remember. The hood is different than the stock one, so I'm not sure it will work with a stock truck grill.
  12. I would contact your help desk since it's a company phone. You shouldn't have to bear the cost of supplying chargers and cables. They will give you a compatible charger, and probably two, so that you can have one at home and the other at work. If it's a phone problem, they will replace it. I have a company issued iPhone that they completely support. I have never had a personal iPhone or any interest in one. They provide all the accessories I need for it. I've never spent a dime on it.
  13. So I found the same type of truck that had the TV screens on it that I saw in DC. This video is probably acceptable - it's a "see through" truck. The front camera is displayed on the rear screen. https://packaged-media.redd.it/bty51tt9zinf1/pb/m2-res_1276p.mp4?m=DASHPlaylist.mpd&v=1&e=1757214000&s=726d5f917437896277b0d051670e1702b89e086d
  14. On 12th Street SW in DC, I saw 3 20ft or so box trucks parked on the side of the road. They had basically huge TVs mounted on the box sides and rears covering the entire area. I have never seen anything like that. I took some video of them, but being DC, the message was very political and not appropriate for here.
