Road Trip

[cletrac (RIP)]

On the way home we stopped in at George Mackenzie's for a couple of days. He has quite a bit of interesting stuff there. His Cab 13 ATT2 was made March 25, 1942 so it must be one of the earliest Cab 13s. This is the third ATT2 I've come across and none of them had the original box. I'd like to see where the holes in the box are for mounting the ATT equipment. George's has a 2C1 on it but I'd guess that it would have come with a 2B1 originally.
His Cab 11 F15A is quite complete. He's been gathering up stuff for the halftrack but still has a ways to go. That Stude 6x6 is quite interesting. The cab roof is made of aluminum of all things for an army truck. He has a wrecker body for that one.

... hmm, looks more like a cab of a Diamond T980 to me, especially the mudguards. Compare here.

It is a Diamond T with the later open cab converted to a hard top post war and not a Studebaker.

Hi Chris you are write it is definitely a Diamond T but it is a 969. A 980 is the larger tank transporter.
I wish I was there!

Here's some more of George's stuff.

George is gathering up enough stuff to put together a Carrier. One of the two in the first pic came from Yellowknife. Even with those two he doesn't have a complete track system so we went to check out the third one. When he gets it home he'll be able to make a driveable one but there's still quite a lot of parts needed to finish it.

Here's some Buffalo Air airplane pics at the Yellowknife airport. Buffalo Joe (the owner) has quite a few of these planes scattered across the Territories. I think the Electra is one of the newest he runs. His two C46s are likely the only ones still flying. He also has a few Norsemen, PBYs, etc. He has a reputation of being able to get loads into places where other outfits can't and has made quite a business out of it. That series that's coming up on Discovery Channel should be interesting.
