Those crash trucks are simply awesome.  I am definitely going to work on one
or more variants of the K/R40 when I get some time, perhaps this weekend.
Does anyone know why the last axel sticks out?  It looks like someone stuck
it on as an afterthought.

I was watching the discovery channel yesterday and they were profiling the
Atlanta airport which happens to be equipped with some fantastic fire • trucks
by the name above. It is the closest thing in appearance I've seen to a
spaceship on wheels save for those cars that are built to break land speed
records. The only pictures I could find in a brief search on the web were • these:

But these are of an older less splendid model. The Atlanta models have 4 • to
five axels and an articulated trailer .

Its the kind of vehicle which makes me want to play with Lego but alas I
have none of the pieces necessary to duplicate it with any accuracy.
Firstly, has anyone any better pictures of the vehicle in question?

Secondly, has anyone attempted to build them?

Thirdly does anyone want to try?
