The web site was back up last night and Google didn't report any attacks. So we are safe again.

I have been working with my support people to prevent this from happening again. Thank you for all your patience while this was getting resolved.

My memory was jogged a bit on Saturday when I saw Athearn's newly-released "National 101" Ford C straight truck in my local hobby shop.

They had a terminal in Baltimore many years ago (The site is now a car dealership), and I recall that their road power was Mack, but don't know much else about them.

Where did they run?  Were they primarily a Northeastern carrier?  Were they bought out or did they close down?

I had an accident on I95 back in 1976. I spent about 8 hours at the Green Comet Diner waiting for a replacement truck! I think the name has changed in the last few years, that's if it's still there! Carl
