Wassaic 225 Returns to WFD!

[NYRangers30 1]

It's a shame to see such a beautiful piece of apparatus in such poor condition

[markmets415 524]

well hopefully if everything goes well we can get her back to the glory days, time, $$$ and alot of dedicated work.

[markmets415 524]

U got her back?

I came to an agreement with the guy last night, so I just need the blessings from our Company President for some paperwork, I spoke with our Chief and is ok with our plan, so as the signman says time will tell, I just need to find someone willing to help us out with getting her out of the lawn and back to Wassaic or was that Tinkertown road.

The latest is that we had a board of directors meeting this AM and it was decided before the truck can be taken back to her home it needs to be approved by the membership regardless if the company or us privately get her. The meeting is Thursday night so I will keep you posted.

Why does it have to be approved if you buy it privately or are you guys buying for the company

The present owner will only give it back to the company at this point, kinda a long story that is better to tell you in person than here.

Yes, that would be the best way to do it. I agree. Thanks for your in put.

I will talk to you about this, when is a good time?

[markmets415 524]

Tonight is the night whether the company wants to take her back, our meeting is tonight and the President wants me to bring to the membership, if they do not want it then we move onto plan B which is for me and the signman to obtain it privately.

[markmets415 524]

It went well at our meeting last night, there were alot of older members that love this rig, so it was no problem getting the paper work needed to bring her home. Hopefully in the next few weeks I will be able to post another set of pictures on her journey back to Wassaic.

Thanks to everyone that lit a fire under me to get this done.

1950 Medium Mack Red is a nice color, and I know were you can get it

Believe it or not that was discussed, it will be painted RED.

[markmets415 524]

OK, is that the color used on your 2 rigs??, that's just a wild guess. Craig you would not believe the interest in doing this project from the members, new and older guys, I think if we could have went and got it right after the meeting they would have went and got it.

[stephen morea 1]

So is the company going to own the FWD like the 1935 seagrave or is the FWD just owned by a couple of members?
