Mack NR color

[Slava]

Thanks a lot Bob!

I made some color reseach before start to work.
Too interesting facts could be finded looking in the net for "The history of Olive drab". All readen there relaits good to my heat shield color.
I have to say, I have one more NR truck at the moment, and both heat shield's colors are always the same.

Anyway work is doing now and the color is chosen.

New results will be seen for any MLU members as soon as I'll have it.

All the best!

Progress during last year.
Disassembling rear bogie.

[Slava]

Had to repear trunnion bracket unit.
Rust made seals dead and water came in.
Trunnion axle was rusted and weared bruss pipes.
Play of 3 mm makes new seals unworkable.
Have axle machined ower for 1.5 mm to delete rust cavits.
Lot of work and expensive materials was aplied.
Bruss pipe wasn't for sell, by solid piece only. Forgot how many kilos..
New pipes made and pressed in.
