These are two military fire apparatus models that I have built.  First is a USAF 1954 WdLaFr 750A pumper and a USA Class 530A Reo/Howe.

   WE HAD A WARD ,AT FT KNOX CAB AHEAD 4 DOORS WITH A ROUND THE PUMP FOAM SYSTEM ,SPLIT HOSE BED  ETC ,  WE WERE ENCLOSED  AND  SAFE AND DRY WHILE FDS  WERE RUNNING AROUND STANDING ON TAIL BOARDS    i WILL ADMITT THEY WERE NOT PARADE PIECES  BUT  THEY WORKED , I COULD NEVER UNDERSTAND WHY THE IDEA  NEVER TOOK HOLD

FT KNOX AT THE AIR PORT HAD  4 RIGS   530B THE WARD A  E MODEL MACK AND A WALTERS CRASH TRUCKS .    ALSO THREE OTHER EMODEL MACKS  TWO AT HEADQUARTERS , AND ONE AT STATION TWO WITH TWO 530B  S  WITH LARGE ANSUL SYSTEMS FOR ENGINE FIRES IN TANKS

ITS AMAMZING WHAT YOU REMEMBER  FROM 40 YEARS  AGO .

The Ward LaFrance is a real work of art. Did you start with a kit or was this built from scratch? Either way you have built a keeper!

Some of you may remember that I was looking for a discontinued Corgi, Seagrave (Detroit) Safety Sedan pumper model #50504.  Many of you gave me tips etc which I investigated every one of them.  However, after nearly three years we can call off the hounds -- I have the fox.  I found it from a tip from one of our friends that visits this site from time to time; it was on eBay and I ordered it - - it has been shipped!  Thanks to all for putting up with me mentioning thiis every so often - - -
