Good job.

The American fire engine.....a chromium plated marvel !!...>well done.....

You inspired me to bulid one of these for my department. I sat here last night trying to figure out how to do the body since I have the cab down to a science. I then brought your model up and went from there. It is still in the design stage at the moment. I should be able to start building it today but with two kids it is going to be a challenge lol.

Oh, and you used actual LEGO doors too, I can't beleave I missed those, lol! In that case make the cab lift to see the engine, if you have that already then there is NOTHING else you can add.

Thanks for your comment. All the doors do open. I just usually don't photograph the trucks with their doors open.

Wow, really nice firetruck. I like how you even added the stabilizers for the ladder. The only thing it needs now is opening doors! Great job!

Thank you to the members of County 60 Control for selecting this truck as the Best Tower of 2010.

That is the look I was going for and thank you for sharing that website with me. I have added that to my favorites.

this looks like Clayville NY's Truck 5. it is in oneida county. go to cnyfiretrucks.com

Great truck, We´re checking your other creations,the details you put in such an small scale its what keeps amazing us. Check our Fire Truck!

The museum is a "department" of sorts. It just has apparatus that spans about a century rather than the usual 10 to 20 years. On Brickshelf I have apparatus numbered sequentially for a department with a mutual aid department too. http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?m=Engine552

Lego Fire Museum, did you ever think of starting your own department here or on a website of it's own?

Thanks for the comment. I am not sure what you mean by you can't wait until I "make a typical station." I have a fleet of modern apparatus on Brickshelf if that is what you mean. You can find these at http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?m=Engine552. I prefer to build the antiques now because there are so many different and unique trucks to build. They all tell a story of the development of fire apparatus. So I can combine my love of history, fire apparatus and building in one nice neat package. Also, I do have a fire station in my kids' town, but I am not sure how to incorporate it into the "Lego Fire Museum". I guess that it is typical. It is red brick with four bays and a tower. It may someday make it onto MOC Pages.

a little too big for a minifig city, but as a model,very nice and detailed, it screams realism! i wish i knew as much as you do about fire trucks design! i have the parts,but no knowlege about the intricate system behind the looks of the equipment,i actually learn a lot about it here! i cant wait until you make a typical station! and i d like an construction advisor on my commercial buildings! could you please visit and comment on improvements to be done to respect the fire code? i d appreciate that! as i aim for education in my city,i can t count on my knowlege in this department, so your experience could help me out! btw i greatly appreciated your previous comment and was encouraged to improve upon that creation faster than originally planned,thanks a lot! good work!

Awesome work as always Lego Fire Museum!!! By the way, I saw your Brickshelf page and, I know this somewhat defeats the purpose of the Lego Fire Museum, but you should also put some of your modern rigs on MOC Pages, or at least create a department website to put them on. That would be awesome!!! Those are some pretty interesting and cool rigs!!! By the way, I didn't know Mack made tillers for FDNY throughout and after the 70's. I know that FDNY purchased around 10 Mack MB tractors for tillers in '69 that were eventually converted into support rigs(i.e. I know one was converted into a high-ex foam unit in '77 and one into a wrecker.). Also, you should try building one of the five 1969 Mack R crew-cab 1000gpm. pumpers like Engine 209 had. That would look pretty interesting. Keep up the fabulous work!!!

LFM, this is the bomb right here! One of the best of your old timers if I say so. An absolute fine piece of history. Nice detail with the building.

Amzing work! Nice to know some history as well!

Ladder, vintage, Mack, studless, amazing! what more could we ask for? This is a great truck. Regards, Eric.

fantastic detail, and a rig that i like a lot, these are my favorite classic trucks, and this is such a good model.

I have done a Maxim S model conventional cab pumper as you know, but I don't think I am going to do a model F cab-forward unit. They look too much like Pirsch and I much rather do a Pirsch. I rode a 78 Pirsch for years and I like them a lot. I can't see me building a snorkel anytime soon. I don't really like them. They are too long and bulky. The Aerialscope is such a superior piece of machinery. I have thought about an ALF Aerochief with an 85' snorkel, but I think that you will see more early to mid-20th Century stuff entering the Museum's collection in the near future.

This is a excellent build! Whitehall VFC had two of them. a 1990 and a 1972. -Lee

Another fantastic job! I have always loved these things, and they are very reliable! I'm not surprised that FDNY still has alot of the CFs as reserve rigs. Ever thought of building a Maxim or a snorkel? I'd love to see one (or both) of them from you!

Another great build, I have recently been into building Aerialscopes on LDD. Might build one as a front line soon.
