One will include its own FAQ.
1.  Yes, it is built after one of the 50s-60s Seagrave sedan pumpers.
2.  No, it isnt for sale.
3.  No, I dont have instructions for it.
4.  Yes, it has been modified, but nothing complicated as my towers or
   anything.
5.  It took about a month of on again off again building to get the look
right.
6.  Yes, there will be more trucks of this style to follow.

The 2 hand-drawn trucks are built after 2 that are actually in service at
this time at my real life dept.  The hand-drawn pumper was built in 1854,
and is still in excellent operating and cosmetic condition.  I thought it
only proper to place some of the original fire mini-figs with these rigs.
Yes, the 2 with the hose cart are original figs.

I don't know my fire trucks (besides pulling over for them, the closest I ever
get is when I stop at the fire station to ask for directions to obscure garage
sales (I have never been let down!) or drop off LEGO at Christmas time), but
even an untrained eye like mine can appreciate your use of traditional elements
in creating these beautiful details.

Also included in these are a small comparision of my trucks vs.
the JS Fire PO....oops, I mean SUV, one of my new heavy rescues, and a
couple of open cabs not yet posted.

LOL, my 8 year-old was looking over my shoulder and spotted the JS vehicle
right away!

Last but not least, construction of my new lego room has officially begun.
New storage units have been added, and are being sorted through at this
time.  No, that REALLY (hack hack cough cough) isnt a Dash 9 being built on
the table.  Honestly.

Hmm, since the NLS has our basement claimed, I think it's time for me to turn
our living room into a (oops, I mean MY) combination LEGO room/study/office.

BTW I notice the 10020's on top of the shelves.  Here's hoping you got number
0212! No one has entered that number on jt's registry-- I didn't get it unless
it's in an unopened one.  :-(

I guess since I bailed out on the recent MOC town contest (actually, just didnt have time to put anything in it that wasnt "modified") I finally got to kicking around some of my new trucks and finishing them. ******Note for the squeamish****** Lego (...)
